Recall that a mole is defined as Avogadro's number of particles what the formula of caffeine basically tells us is that every molecule of caffeine you will have 8 atoms of carbon 10 atoms of hydrogen 4 atoms of nitrogen and 2 atoms of oxygen so if we have 0.3 moles of caffeine we will have 4*0.3 moles of nitrogen which is 0.12 and you got the idea

Answer: The moles of hydrogen in given moles of caffeine are 28 moles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Moles of caffeine = 2.8 moles

The chemical formula of caffeine is
C_8H_(10)N_4O_2

In 1 mole of caffeine, 8 moles of carbon atoms, 10 moles of hydrogen atoms, 4 moles of nitrogen atoms and 2 moles of oxygen atoms are present.

So, in 2.8 moles of caffeine, moles of hydrogen atoms present will be
(10* 2.8)=28 moles

Hence, the moles of hydrogen in given moles of caffeine are 28 moles.
