Answer:
16.93* 10^(23)\ \text{molecules}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Mass of
CH_4
m=45\ gm

Molar mass of
CH_4 is
12+4*1=16

No of moles of
CH_4
=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}=(45)/(16)

No of Molecules in 45gm of
CH_4 is


\Rightarrow N_A*(45)/(16)=6.022* 10^(23)* (45)/(16)\\\Rightarrow 16.93*10^(23)\ \text{molecules}
