How many atoms of hydrogen are present in one molecule of Al(H₂PO₄)₃? A)2 B)3 C)5 D)6

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molecule Al(HSO4)3 contains 3 sulfate groups (SO4). Each sulfate group has 4 oxygen atoms and 1 hydrogen atom, totaling 3 hydrogen atoms per sulfate group. Since there are 3 sulfate groups, the total number of hydrogen atoms is 3 * 3 = 9. However, the correct answer (D) 6 is not mathematically correct based on the provided formula. The correct calculation based on the formula should result in 9 hydrogen atoms, but this option is not available. The explanation provided is based on the correct interpretation of the chemical formula, but there seems to be a misunderstanding or typo in the question or answer choices.
