Answer:
Methane is a chemical compound with the molecular formula CH4. It is the main component in natural gas. Methane is considered the simplest of alkanes, compounds that consist only of hydrogen (H) and carbon (C) elements. Methane is an odorless, colorless, tasteless gas that is lighter than air.

Answer:
You can fill 212 balloons.
Explanation:
First we <u>calculate the helium moles in the small cylinder</u>, using <em>PV=nRT:</em>
- P = 14300 kPa ⇒ 14300 * 0.009869 = 141.13 atm
- R = 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹
- T = 25 °C ⇒ 25 + 273.16 = 298.16 K
141.13 atm * 2.20 L = n * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 298.16 K
Then we <u>calculate the number of moles that can fit in a single balloon</u>:
- 1.22 atm * 1.20 L = n * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 298.16 K
Finally we <u>divide the total number of available moles by the number of moles in a single balloon</u>:
- 12.70 mol / 0.0599 mol = 212.09
So the answer is that you can fill 212 balloons.
