Methane has one carbon and by mass there are three grams of carbon for every gram of hydrogen. How many hydrogen atoms does methane molecule have show work

1 answer

g C = 3*gH
So C represents 3/4 mass methane.
H represents 1/4 mass methane3.
0.75x = 12
x = 16; mass methane is 16
1/4 *16 = 4 = mass H atoms which is 4 H atoms at 1 each.
