10.00 g of the chemical compound benzene (C₆H₆) contains 0.77 g of hydrogen and 9.23 g of carbon. What mass of benzene will contain 10.00 g of hydrogen?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ratio of hydrogen to the total mass in benzene is 0.77g of H to 10.00g of benzene. To find the mass of benzene that contains 10.00g of hydrogen, we scale up: (10.00g H / 0.77g H) * 10.00g benzene = 129.87g, which rounds to 129.9g, matching option A.
