Question

Hydrogen gas has been suggested as a clean fuel because it produces only water vapor when it burns. If the reaction has a 88.9% yield, what mass of hydrogen forms 593 kg of water?

Answer 1

Mass of hydrogen = 667 kg (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mass of water = 593 kg

Yield rate = 88.9%

Find:

Mass of hydrogen

Computation:

Mass of hydrogen = [Mass of water / Yield rate]100

Mass of hydrogen = [593 / 88.9]100

Mass of hydrogen = 667.04162

Mass of hydrogen = 667 kg (Approx)
