Answer

B. 6.02 x 10²³ molecules CH₄

Step-by-step explanation

Avogardro's constant says 1 mole of a substance has 6.02 x 10²³ molecules.

⇒ 1 mole = 6.02 x 10²³ molecules/atoms

Therefore, the mole of methane in the given molecules can be calculatedas follows


Mole\text{ of methane }=\frac{7.31*10^(25)_{}}{6.02*10^(23)\text{ }molecules\text{ }CH_4}=121.43\text{ mole}

Hence, what belongs to the green box is 6.02 x 10²³ molecules CH₄
