Correct answer: 56

  1. Find mass of carbon from CO2\mathrm{CO_2}CO2​

From combustion, 44 g of CO2 contains 12 g of C44\text{ g of }\mathrm{CO_2} \text{ contains } 12\text{ g of C}44 g of CO2​ contains 12 g of C

So, carbon in 0.220 0.220\,0.220g of CO2\mathrm{CO_2}CO2​ is mC=0.220×1244=0.060 gm_C = 0.220\times \frac{12}{44} = 0.060\text{ g}mC​=0.220×4412​=0.060 g

  1. Use given percentage of carbon to find mass of compound

Given that carbon percentage is 24%24\%24%, 0.060mcompound×100=24\frac{0.060}{m_{\text{compound}}}\times 100 = 24mcompound​0.060​×100=24

Hence, mcompound=0.060×10024=0.25 gm_{\text{compound}} = \frac{0.060\times 100}{24} = 0.25\text{ g}mcompound​=240.060×100​=0.25 g

  1. Find mass of hydrogen from H2O\mathrm{H_2O}H2​O

From combustion, 18 g of H2O contains 2 g of H18\text{ g of }\mathrm{H_2O} \text{ contains } 2\text{ g of H}18 g of H2​O contains 2 g of H

So, hydrogen in 0.126 0.126\,0.126g of H2O\mathrm{H_2O}H2​O is mH=0.126×218=0.014 gm_H = 0.126\times \frac{2}{18} = 0.014\text{ g}mH​=0.126×182​=0.014 g

  1. Calculate percentage of hydrogen

%H=0.0140.25×100=5.6%\%H = \frac{0.014}{0.25}\times 100 = 5.6\%%H=0.250.014​×100=5.6%

Now the question asks for: % of hydrogen=‾×10−1\%\text{ of hydrogen} = \underline{\hspace{2cm}}\times 10^{-1}% of hydrogen=​×10−1

Since 5.6=56×10−15.6 = 56\times 10^{-1}5.6=56×10−1

the required nearest integer is 56\boxed{56}56​

  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer = 565656

This matches our derived answer.
