Question: how many atoms of carbon are found in one mole of methane gas?
Answer: For example the atomic mass of methane (CH4)is 12 amu for the carbon plus 4 x 1 amu for the four hydrogens, for a total of 16 amu. Therefore the molar mass of methane is 16g. We say that one mole of methane has a mass of 16 g, and that there are 6.022 x 1023 atoms in that mass of methane.
