How many grams of H are in 1 mole of methane?
I don't understand this. I got 16.1 but it's wrong. Any help is much appreciated

If you're trying to determine grams of H in 1 mole of methane, you would first have to take in consideration that the second derivative of this would result in the gradient of 2 mole to the power of 6. in a way, yes it would equal to 16.1 but geometric sequence would deduce that
Huh?
Methane = CH4
C = 12 grams per mole
H = 1 gram per mole
so CH4 = 16 grams/mole of which 4 are H
so 4 grams
Methane = CH4
C = 12 grams per mole
H = 1 gram per mole
so CH4 = 16 grams/mole of which 4 are H
so 4 grams
Damon has said it very well. Here is another way to look at it.
mols H = 1 mol CH4 x (4 mols H/1 mol CH4) = 4
Then grams H atoms = 4 mols H atoms x (1 g H/mol H) = 4 grams
mols H = 1 mol CH4 x (4 mols H/1 mol CH4) = 4
Then grams H atoms = 4 mols H atoms x (1 g H/mol H) = 4 grams
