Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
Find the mass of one molecule of methane, , in grams. Use , and .
One mole holds particles. and . To count atoms, multiply the molecules by the atoms in one molecule. The mass of one particle is .
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. Molar mass. .
Step 2. One molecule. .
Answer: .
Check. A single molecule must weigh a tiny fraction of a gram.
