Hydrogen atomic weight

Coal Hquefaction iavolves raising the atomic hydrogen-to-carbon ratio from approximately 0.8/1.0 for a typical bituminous coal, to 2/1 for Hquid transportation fuels or 4/1 for methane (4). In this process, molecular weight reduction and removal of mineral matter and heteroatoms such as sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen may need to be effected. 

On the earth itself, however, hydrogen is not the most common I element it is only the tenth most common on the basis of weight, and only third in the number of atoms. Hydrogen, chemically combined with other elements, is found in huge quantities in coal. and petroleum, in clay and some minerals, and in all plant and animal matter. If you weigh 100 pounds, 10 pounds of you is hydrogen. 

Atomic weight—the relative weights of atoms hydrogen is the lightest and is defined to be one carbon is 12 and oxygen is 16, meaning they are 12 and 16 times as heavy as hydrogen. 

Hydrogen capacity H in Fig. 1.24 can be expressed in either atomic HIM ratio (H - number of H atoms, M - number of metal atoms) or weight percent (wt%), both of which are commonly used [14]. It must be noticed that calculating wt% both mass of hydrogen and mass of metal (not only mass of metal) must be considered in the denominator. 

To evaluate further the CAMD results, a number of atomic and chemical parameters from each structure (number of atoms, fractions of aromatic carbon and hydrogen, weight fraction or each atomic species, empirical formula) were compared with the original literature for each structure. This provided a useful check on the accuracy of the computer models. Results of the computer analyses for the four coal structures are given in Table I. The total numbers of atoms only appear as guides to the size and complexity of each structure, and bear no relationship to the size of a "coal molecule" or a decomposition product.

The comparison between the method-specific trends for the partial positive and negative surface areas (PPSA-1, PNSA-1) as well as their total charge weighted and atomic charge weighted counterparts (PPSA-2, PNSA-2 PPSA-3, PNSA-3) is summarized in terms of R2 values in Table 6.7 together with respective results for the three PPSA descriptors confined to heavy atoms (PPSA-1Z, PPSA-2Z, PPSA-3Z) and to hydrogen (PPSA-1H, PPSA-2H, PPSA-3H). 

Hydrogen is by far the most widespread element in the universe, but on Earth (litho-, bio- and atmosphere) it is only the ninth most common element with 1% by weight (or 15 atomic %). Hydrogen is almost exclusively present as water, hydrates, in the biomass and in fossilized raw materials.
