Answer:
mass is a measure of the amount of matter in a sample or object. It is measured in grammes or kilogrammes
Answer:
The mass of CH4 is 60, 29 grams.
Explanation:
We use the weight of the atoms C and H for calculate the molar mass:
Weight of CH4= weight C+ 4 x weight H= 12,01 g/mol +4 x 1,008g/mol=
Weight of CH4 =16, 042 g/mol
1molCH4-----16, 042grams
3,758 mol CH4--X= (3,758 mol CH4 x 16, 042 grams)/1 mol CH4=60,285836 grams
<span>Compounds are composed of different elements in a fixed proportions. For example, 1 atom of oxygen (O) combines with 2 atoms of hydrogen (H) to form one molecule of water (H2O) compound. Similarly other numbers of atoms would produce other chemical compounds. Even adding 1 more atom of oxygen would convert the water (H2O) into hydrogen peroxide(H2O2). Even if we were only to list the ones we know there are over 20 million known compounds.
In order to list all possible compounds such a table would rapidly become combinatoric nightmare of such size that it would not be practical to use even with a computer database and it would consist of over 100 billion possible compounds containing only H, C, O and N.
Creating a table to handle all possible elements would mean a table of many trillions of compounds.</span>
