Question

Calculate the total number of electrons present in 1 mole of methane

Answer 1

1 mole = 6.023 x 10^23 atoms

1 molecule of methane has 10 electrons
1 mole of methane contains 6.023 x 10^24 electrons

Answer 2

Answer: The number of neutrons in given amount of methane gas is $6.022\times 10^{24}$

Explanation:

We are given:

Moles of methane gas = 1 mole

The chemical formula of methane molecule is $CH_4$

Number of neutrons in Carbon = 6

Number of neutrons in hydrogen = 1

Number of neutrons that are present in 1 mole of carbon dioxide gas = $[6+(4\times 1)]=10$

According to mole concept:

1 mole of an compound contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of molecules or electrons or protons or neutrons.

So, 1 moles of methane gas will contain = $10\times 1\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=6.022\times 10^{24}$ number of neutrons.

Hence, the number of neutrons in given amount of methane gas is $6.022\times 10^{24}$
