In the reaction of Epsom Salt and ammonia, how many atoms of Hydrogen are in the product, ammonium sulfate (NH4)2SO4

Respuesta :

Answer:

Should be 1

Explanation:

Answer:

Epsom salt is Magnesium sulphate [tex](MgSO_4)[/tex]

So the chemical reaction is  

[tex]MgSO_4+2 NH_3+2H_2 O > 1(NH_4 )_2 SO_4+Mg(OH)_2[/tex]  

[tex]1(NH_4 )_2 SO_4[/tex]  contains [tex]1\times 4\times 2=8[/tex] mole of H atoms

That is to find the number of atoms we multiply coefficient subscript number outside the Bracket

1 mole of H atoms contains [tex]6.022 \times 10^23 H[/tex] atoms

So,  

[tex]8 \ mole \ H \ atoms \times \frac {(6.022 \times 10^23 \ H \ atoms)}{(1 \ mole \ H \ atoms)}  =   48.176 \times 10^23  \ H \ atoms[/tex]

Moving the decimal point to the right, the power of 10 decreases

So, we get  

=  [tex]4.8176 \times 10^22  \ H  \ atoms[/tex]

= [tex]4.82 \times 10^22 \ H[/tex] atoms is the Answer.
