Solution

The correct option is A 1
Mass of CaCl2+ U tube =80.483 g
Mass of CaCl2+ U tube +H2O=89.483 g
Mass of water =89.48380.483=9 g
The molar mass of water is 18 g/mol.
9 g water corresponds to 9g18g/mol=0.5 moles.
1 mole of H2 gives 1 mole of H2O
0.5 moles of H2 will give 0.5 g of H2O
The molar mass of H2 is 2 g/mol.
Mass of H2=2g/mol×0.5mol=1g
Hence, 1 gram of hydrogen were used in the formation of the water as product.
