One molecule of this compound contains 3 carbon atoms, 3 hydrogen atoms, and 5 chlorine atoms. To determine weight of one mole of this compound, use the following equation.
3 * 12 + 3 * 1 + 5 * 35 = 214 grams
To determine the fraction of its weight that is carbon, use the following equation.
Fraction = Mass C / Mass C3H3CI5 = 66/214
This is approximately 0.3084. To determine the fraction of the weight that is hydrogen use the following equation.
Fraction = Mass H/ Mass C3H3CI5= 3/214
This is approximately 0.014.
To determine the ratio of these two fractions, divide them.
3/214 ÷ 66/214 = 1/12
To determine the mass of hydrogen, multiply the mass of carbon by this fraction.
Mass = 66 * 1/12 = 5.5 grams
OR
The ratio of the subscripts in the formula of a compound determine the ratio of the number of moles of each element in the compound. In this compound the subscript of C and H are the same. This means the number of moles is the same. To determine the number of moles, divide the mass by the mass of one mole. For carbon, 12 grams is the mass of one mole.
Number of moles = 66 ÷ 12 = 5.5
This is the number of moles hydrogen.
Mass = 5.5 * 1 = 5.5 grams
I am sorry about my previous mistake. I misread the problem. This is actually a chemistry problem.
