hydrogen (h)
sulfur (s)
oxygen (o)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate hydrogen atoms

For \(5H_2SO_4\), hydrogen atoms: \(5\times2 = 10\). For \(2H_2O_2\), hydrogen atoms: \(2\times2=4\). Total hydrogen atoms: \(10 + 4=14\).

Step2: Calculate sulfur atoms

For \(5H_2SO_4\), sulfur atoms: \(5\times1 = 5\). For \(3SO_2\), sulfur atoms: \(3\times1=3\). Total sulfur atoms: \(5 + 3=8\).

Step3: Calculate oxygen atoms

For \(5H_2SO_4\), oxygen atoms: \(5\times4 = 20\). For \(3SO_2\), oxygen atoms: \(3\times2=6\). For \(2H_2O_2\), oxygen atoms: \(2\times2 = 4\). Total oxygen atoms: \(20+6 + 4=30\).

Answer:

Hydrogen (\(H\)): \(14\)
Sulfur (\(S\)): \(8\)
Oxygen (\(O\)): \(30\)
