Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the chemical formula given: 2H2O2 means there are 2 formula units of H2O2.
Determine the number of hydrogen atoms in one formula unit of H2O2. Since the subscript for hydrogen is 2, there are 2 hydrogen atoms per H2O2 molecule.
Multiply the number of hydrogen atoms in one formula unit by the number of formula units: 2 hydrogen atoms × 2 formula units.
Calculate the total number of hydrogen atoms by performing the multiplication (do not provide the final number here, just the operation).
Conclude that the total hydrogen atoms in 2H2O2 is the product from the previous step.
