To determine the number of hydrogen atoms in one molecule of sulfuric acid ([tex]\( H_2SO_4 \)[/tex]), we should carefully examine its molecular formula. The formula [tex]\( H_2SO_4 \)[/tex] indicates the different types and numbers of atoms in a single molecule of sulfuric acid.
Let's break down the molecular formula:
- The subscript number following an atom symbol indicates how many of those atoms are present in the molecule.
- In [tex]\( H_2SO_4 \)[/tex], the "H" represents hydrogen.
- The "2" subscript next to the "H" tells us there are 2 hydrogen atoms in one molecule of sulfuric acid.
Therefore, there are:
- 2 hydrogen atoms in [tex]\( H_2SO_4 \)[/tex].
The correct answer is:
2
