given 4.01 g of ch4, determine the number of moles of ch4. 1 mol ch4 = 16.04 g ch4 ? mol ch4 = 4.01 g ch4 round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall mole - mass formula
The formula to calculate the number of moles $n$ is $n=\frac{m}{M}$, where $m$ is the mass and $M$ is the molar mass. Here, $m = 4.01$ g and $M=16.04$ g/mol for $CH_4$.
Step2: Calculate the number of moles
$n=\frac{4.01}{16.04}$ $n = 0.25$ mol
Answer:
$0.25$
