    For 0.027 moles CH3COOH we have 0.108 moles H ≈ 1.1 * 10^-1 moles H

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Data given

    Acetic acid = CH3COOH

    Number of moles oxygen in the sample = 0.054 moles

    Step 2: calculate moles CH3COOH

    In 1 mol CH3COOH we have 2 moles O

    For 0.054 moles Oxygen we have 0.054/2 = 0.027 moles CH3COOH

    Step 3: Calculate moles H

    In 1 mol CH3COOH we have 4 moles H

    For 0.027 moles CH3COOH we have 4*0.027 = 0.108 moles H ≈ 1.1 * 10^-1 moles

    0.108mol of Hydrogen

    Explanation:

    The formula for the compound is: CH3COOH

    From the formula of the compound,

    There are 2moles of oxygen and 4moles of Hydrogen.

    If for every 2moles of oxygen, 4moles of Hydrogen is present.

    Then, for 0.054 moles of oxygen = (0.054 x 4) / 2 = 0.108mol of Hydrogen is present
