The total number of electrons present in 16 g of methane gas is:

Options

A. `96.352 xx 10^(23)`
B. `48.176 xx 10^(23)`
C. `60.22 xx 10^(23)`
D. `30.110 xx 10^(23)`

Answer

C

Explanation

Total no. of electrons in 16 g i.e., 1 mole of `CH_4 = 10 xx 6.022 xx 10^23` electrons `= 60.22 xx 10^23` electrons =`60.22 xx 10^(23)` electrons
