Explanation and answer:

The molar volume of a gas is 22.4 L at 0 deg. C.

So the molar mass of the gas is, by proportion,

0.16 g * (22400 mL)/(240 mL) = 14.93 g

The molar mass of (CH4)n = 12+4(1) = 16.

So n = 15.93/16 = 1, or the molecular formula is CH4.

Note: The temperature at which the volume was observed was not given.  If 240 cm^3 was observed at 20 deg.C, then the volume at 0 deg.C would be

V=240*(273+0)/(273+20) = 223.6

The molar mass = 0.16*22400/(223.6) = 16.03

which gives n = 16/16.03 = 1 again, but more accurately.

an atom is the smallest unit of matter or a substance.

Explanation:

the structure of the

atom consists of electrons, protons, neutrons) which makes up the nucleus is more than a hundred thousand times smaller than it's atom but makes up 99.9% of the mass of the atom.

the protons are the positively charged particles. The neutrons are the negatively charged particles. The electrons are the negatively charged particles.

the first energy level consists of two electrons. the second energy level consists of eight electrons. the 3 energy level consists of eighteen electrons. the 4 energy level consists of thirty two electrons.

A sample of gas has a mass of 0.0707 grams and has a volume of 48.9 milliliters. What is the density of this gas?
GREYUIT [131]

The density of the gas is 1.45 g/L.

The mass of the gas is 0.0707 g.

The volume of the gas is 48.9 mL.

Density = mass/volume = 0.0707 g/48.9 mL = 1.45 × 10⁻³ g/mL = 1.45 g/L
