Butanol is composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. If 1.0 mol of butanol contains 6.0  1024 atoms of hydrogen, what is the subscript for the hydrogen atom in C4H2O?

The subscript for H is 10.

The formula for butanol is C₄HₓO.

x = (6.0 × 10²⁴ H atoms/1 mol butanol)

× (1 mol butanol/6.022 × 10²³ molecules butanol)

= 10 H atoms/molecule butanol

∴ The formula for butanol is C₄H₁₀O.

The subscript for the hydrogen atom in butanol is 10. So, the chemical formula is [tex]\bold {C_4 H_1_0 O }[/tex].

 

Assume the subscript for Hydrogen is X,

then, the formula for butanol is C₄HₓO.

Given here,

Number of atoms in one mole of butanol = 6.0 × 10²⁴

1 mole mole of Butanol contains 6.02 × 10²³

Thus

[tex]\bold {X = \dfrac {6.0\times 10^{24}}{6.02 \times 10^{23}} }\\\\\bold {X = \approx 10}[/tex]

Therefore, the subscript for the hydrogen atom in butanol is 10.
