Question

Each molecule of nitric acid has the formula hno3. if there are 6000 oxygen atoms present and 6000 nitrogen atoms present, how many hydrogen atoms will be required to convert all of the oxygen atoms into nitric acid? select one:

Answer 1

Answer;

2000 Hydrogen atoms

Step-by-step explanation;

Each molecule of nitric acid has the formula hno3. if there are 6000 oxygen atoms present and 6000 nitrogen atoms present.

The ratio of H, N and O in nitric acid is; 1 : 1 : 3

Therefore; Hydrogen atoms required are;

= 6000/3

= 2000 Atoms

2000 atoms of hydrogen will be required to convert all oxygen atoms into nitric acid.
