Answer: 1.93 x 10^24 molecules
Explanation:
CH4 is the chemical formula for methane, the first member of the alkane family.
Based on Avogadro's law:
1 mole of any substance has 6.02 x 10^23 molecule
So, 1 mole of CH4 = 6.02 x 10^23 molecules
3.2 moles of CH4 = Z
To get the value of Z, cross multiply:
(Z x 1 mole) = (6.02 x 10^23 molecule x 3.2 moles)
Z•mole = 19.26 x 10^23 molecules•mole
Divide both sides by 1 mole
Z•mole / 1 mole = 19.26 x 10^23 molecules•mole/ 1mole
Z = 19.26 x 10^23 molecules
Place Z in standard form
Z = 1.93 x 10^24 molecules
Thus, 3.2 moles of ch4 has 1.93 x 10^24 molecules
