Calculate the mass of hydrogen in 57.010 grams of ammonium hydrogen phosphate. Use dimensional analysis.

4.59 grams of hydrogen

Explanation:

57.010 g of ammonium phosphate * 1 mol / 149 g of ammonium phosphate * 12.0 g H * / 1 mol = 4.591409396.

But with sig figs, it rounds to 4.59.

So the final answer is 4.59 grams of hydrogen.

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.
