Calculate the total number of electrons present in 1.6 g of methane

Options

A. `6.023xx10^23`
B. 16
C. `12.04xx10^23`
D. `6.023xx10^24`

Explanation

To calculate the total number of electrons present in 1.6 g of methane (CH₄), we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate the number of moles of methane
The molar mass of methane (CH₄) is calculated as follows:
- Carbon (C) has an atomic mass of approximately 12 g/mol.
- Hydrogen (H) has an atomic mass of approximately 1 g/mol.

Thus, the molar mass of methane (CH₄) is:
