Answer:
6 mol
Explanation:
Discussion
The answer is very nearly six. I will use rounded whole numbers to get the molar mass. Every periodic table is different so you will have to redo my numbers using your periodic table.
The trick is to find 1 mole of CH4 and divide that into 96.
Givens
96.0 grams of CH4
Solution
Find 1 mol of CH4
1 * 1C = 1 * 12 = 12 grams of Carbon in 1 mol of CH4
4 * H = 4 * 1 = 4 grams of Hydrogen in 1 mol of CH4
Total = 16 grams of C and H in 1 mol of CH4
Find 96 grams in mols.
Formula
mol = given mass / molar mass
given mass = 96 grams
molar mass = 16 grams
Mol = 96 / 16
Answer: mol = 6
