Question

The chemical formula for sulfuric acid is H2SO4. In 2H2SO4, the number of hydrogen atoms is , the number of sulfur atoms is , and the number of oxygen atoms is .

Answer 1

Answer:

Hydrogen = 4, Sulfur = 2 and Oxygen = 8      

Explanation:

The 2 in front of the chemical formula for H2SO4 indicates that there are 2 molecules of sulfuric acids.

Thus the number of atoms of hydrogen, sulfur and oxygen in 2H2SO4 is given below as;

No of hydrogen atoms = 2 x 2 = 4

No of sulfur atoms        = 2 x 1 = 2

No of oxygen atoms     = 2 x 4 = 8

Answer 2

Answer:

Hydrogen = 4, Sulfur = 2 and Oxygen = 8.

Explanation:

Sulfuric Acid is a colorless acid with chemical formula of H2SO4 and molar mass of 98.079 g/mol. Sulfuric Acid has a density of about 1.83 g/cm³ and boiling point of 337 °C.

Atom is one of the Important unit of matter. Though they are so small, atoms can further be divided into more constituents or particles.

The sulfuric Acid in the question is 2 that is as a molecule(the combinations of atoms). In the 2 molecules of the sulfuric Acid we have four atoms of Hydrogen, two atoms of sulfur and eight atoms of oxygen.

2(H2SO4) =>

Hydrogen= 2 × 2 = 4.

Sulfur = 2 × 1 =2.

Oxygen = 2 × 4 = 8.
