Calculate the atomic mass in grams of 0.35 moles of CH4

First, you must know the molecular mass of CH4. (how many grams in one mole)
C=12g
H=4g
So since the molecular mass is 16 grams, just multiply your given number of moles, .35 moles, by the molar mass, 16. That will give you a final answer of 5.6 grams of CH4.

Hope this helps!

Answer: 5.6 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:


\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Thus mass =
{\text {number of moles}}* {\text {Molar mass}}

For
CH_4

Moles of
CH_4= 0.35 moles

Molar mass of
CH_4 = 16 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

mass =
0.35moles* 16g/mol=5.6 g

The atomic mass of 0.35 moles of
CH_4 is 5.6 grams.
