Calculate the total number of electrons present in one mole of methane
Answers
Answer:
As we know in 1 molecule of methane, 1 carbon atom and 4 atoms of hydrogen is present.
In carbon there are six electrons and hydrogen consist of one electron each.
So total number of electrons in methane
= 6 + 4
= 10 electrons
By Avogadro’s Law we know that
1 mole of methane contains 6.023×1023 atoms.
So total number of electrons of in 1 mole methane
= 10×6.023×10²³
= 6.023×1024 electrons
So total number of electrons in 1 mole of methane is 6.023×10²⁴ electrons....
Answer:
1 mole of methane (CH4) = 1 mole of C + 4 × 1 mole of H
we know,
1 mole of C = 6 mole of electrons
1 mole of H = 1 mole of electron
so, 1 mole of CH4 = 6 + 4 = 10 mole of electrons
but 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³
so, 1 mole of CH4 = 10 × 6.022 × 10²³ electrons
= 6.022 × 10²⁴ electrons
