  1. Let the molar mass of the compound be M g mol−1M\,\text{g mol}^{-1}Mg mol−1.

  2. Mass of 0.010.010.01 mole of compound mass of X=0.01M g\text{mass of }X = 0.01M\,\text{g}mass of X=0.01Mg

  3. Given that the compound contains 10%10\%10% hydrogen by mass So, mass of hydrogen in 0.010.010.01 mole of XXX is mass of H=10% of 0.01M=0.10×0.01M=0.001M g\text{mass of H} = 10\%\text{ of }0.01M = 0.10\times 0.01M = 0.001M\,\text{g}mass of H=10% of 0.01M=0.10×0.01M=0.001Mg

  4. From combustion data Complete combustion produces 0.9 g0.9\,\text{g}0.9g of water.

    In water, the mass fraction of hydrogen is 218=19\frac{2}{18} = \frac{1}{9}182​=91​

    Therefore, mass of hydrogen present in 0.9 g0.9\,\text{g}0.9g of water is 0.9×19=0.1 g0.9\times \frac{1}{9} = 0.1\,\text{g}0.9×91​=0.1g

  5. Equate hydrogen from the compound and hydrogen in water 0.001M=0.10.001M = 0.10.001M=0.1

  6. Solve for MMM M=0.10.001=100M = \frac{0.1}{0.001} = 100M=0.0010.1​=100

  7. Final answer 100 g mol−1\boxed{100\,\text{g mol}^{-1}}100g mol−1​

  8. Comparison with stored answer

    Stored correct answer = 100100100

    Our derived answer matches the stored answer.
