Bianca Hayden · Answer 1

34g C * (1 mol / 12.0107) * (1 mol H2 / 1 mol C) * (2.01588 g / 1 mol H2) = 5.70657164028741 g H2 = 5.7 g H2

Convert grams of C to moles of C using the given amount of grams and the molar mass (12.0107 g/mol).

Gather the mole ratio from the coefficients in the balanced equation and multiply by the ratio.

Convert moles of H2 to grams of H2 using the given amount of grams and the molar mass (2.01588 g/mol).
