What is the molar mass of
CH4?
(C = 12.011 amu, H = 1.008 amu)

16.0 g/mol (3 s.f.)

Explanation:

Molar mass is the mass of a mole of substance.

1 mole of CH₄ has 1 C atom and 4 H atoms.

Since the molar mass is numerically equal to the molecular mass of a compound, let's find the molecular mass of CH₄ first.

Molecular mass= sum of all the atomic mass in a molecule

Molecular mass of CH₄

= 12.011 amu +4(1.008 amu)

= 16.043 amu

Thus the molar mass of CH₄ is 16.043g/mol, or 16.0g/mol to 3 significant figures.
