<span>The student is incorrect because helium has 2 valence electrons and it's in group 18 because the first energy level is full. Although helium is placed in Group 18 which generally has 8 valence electrons, it does not have 8 valence electrons as the student suggested. It was grouped together with the noble gases because it exhibits similar properties with them. </span>
CH4 + 2 O2 ---> CO2 + 2 H2O Q = 891,6 kJ / mol CH4
1 mol CH4 = 16 g
16 g ---- 891,6 kJ
x g ----- 272 kJ
x = 272 kJ × 16 g / 891,6 kJ = 4,88 g
You must burn 4,88 g of CH4.

According to Newton's first law of motion, it takes an unbalanced force to move an object at rest.
I hope this helps :)
