A compound containing only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen is analyzed using combustion analysis. When 0.501 g of the compound is burned, 0.711 g of carbon dioxide and 0.436 g of water are collected. Given that there are 0.0242 moles of water produced, determine the moles of hydrogen present in the water. This will be the same number of moles of hydrogen in the original compound.
