Okay so you convert mL to liters

50.0 mL/1000L = 0.05 liters

Then divide by 22.4 for moles

0.05/22.4 = 0.0022 moles of H2O we want hydrogen so for every two moles of hydrogen there’s one water

0.0022 x 2 H/ H2O = 0.0044 moles of hydrogen

Convert to mass by multiplying by its molar mass

0.0044 x 1.01 = 0.0045 grams of Hydrogen is the mass in 50 mL of water
