The amount of physical material in an object
The answer that would best complete the given statement above is the term ATOM. <span>The smallest unit which maintains the physical properties of a compound is an ATOM. But for a compound, it would be molecule. Hope this answers your question.</span>
Answer:
The combustion of 59.7 grams of methane releases 3320.81 kilojoules of energy
Explanation:
Given;
CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O, ΔH = -890 kJ/mol
From the combustion reaction above, it can be observed that;
1 mole of methane (CH₄) released 890 kilojoules of energy.
Now, we convert 59.7 grams of methane to moles
CH₄ = 12 + (1x4) = 16 g/mol
59.7 g of CH₄ 
1 mole of methane (CH₄) released 890 kilojoules of energy
3.73125 moles of methane (CH₄) will release ?
= 3.73125 moles x -890 kJ/mol
= -3320.81 kJ
Therefore, the combustion of 59.7 grams of methane releases 3320.81 kilojoules of energy
To covert from moles to atoms times the number of moles by Avogadro's Number (6.022×10²³)
4.0 × 6.022×10²³ = 2.4088×10^24
