Methane is a chemical compound so it does not have an atomic number, but it does have a molecular formula, which is written as CH4.
Methane is composed of one carbon atom (atomic number 6) bonded to four hydrogen atoms (atomic number 1). The molar mass of methane is:
4 * 1.0079 + 12.011 = 16.0426 grams per mole.

∙ 14y agoThe Chemical Formula for methane is CH4. The Weight is 16.04276 g/ mol.
To find the atomic weight you take the masses of the elements and add them together. This is how to find Methane (CH4 ).
Carbon =12.011g/mol
Hydrogen=1.00794 g/mol
12.011+(1.00794 x 4)=16.04276 g/mol

Percent of hydrogen in methane?
Percentage of hydrogen in methane is 25%. Percentage of hydrogen = mass of hydrogen/mass of methane x 100 mass of hydrogen = 1 x 4= 4 and mass of carbon = 12. Since methane has 4 hydrogen atoms and one carbon atom therefore mass of methane = 16 Percentage of hydrogen = 4/16 x 100 =25
How many moles of carbon dioxide are produced from the complete combustion of 100.0 grams of methane?
First a balanced chemical equation is needed.CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2OThere is a 1:1 ratio of moles between methane and carbon dioxide so the amount of moles of methane used is the exact number of moles of carbon dioxide yielded.To determine the number of moles of methane we take the amount used and divide by methane's mass which is about 16.04 g/mol.100g/ 16.04g/mol=6.234moles of methane.6.234 moles of methane are used and 6.234 moles of carbon dioxide are produced.
How many atoms are present in a mole of methane?
Each molecule of methane contains one carbon atom, as shown by the formula for methane, CH4. Therefore, the number of carbon atoms in one mole of methane is the same as Avogadro's Number, about 6.022 X 1023.
What is the true methane number of methane?
Methane has the formula CH4. So its molecular weight is 12 + 4 = 16. Is that what you mean?
What is the number of particles in the formula M methane?
The chemical formula of methane is CH4; if you think to atoms methane has 5 atoms.
When methane burns carbon dioxide and water are formed The mass of carbon dioxide plus the mass of water equal the mass of the methane plus the mass of OXYGEN?
When methane burns, the carbon dioxide and water formed, equal the mass of the methane plus the mass of the oxygen.
Why the combined mass of CO2 and H2O produced in the combustion analysis of methane greater than mass of the methane sample being analysed?
The mass of reactants is equal to the mass of products.
Percent of hydrogen in methane?
Percentage of hydrogen in methane is 25%. Percentage of hydrogen = mass of hydrogen/mass of methane x 100 mass of hydrogen = 1 x 4= 4 and mass of carbon = 12. Since methane has 4 hydrogen atoms and one carbon atom therefore mass of methane = 16 Percentage of hydrogen = 4/16 x 100 =25

What is the atomic number of CH4?
CH4 is the compound methane. It does NOT have an atomic number. However it has a Relative Molecular Mass (Mr). To calculate its Mr ;- First refer to the Periodic Table for the Atomic Masses of each element present. We have in CH4 ;- 1 x C = 1 x 12 = 12 4 x H = 4 x 1 = 4 12 + 4 = 16 This is the Mr( Relative Molecular Mass ) of methane ; NOT atomic mass.
The mass of a hydrogen atom is 1.0 amu and the mass of a carbon atom is 12.0 amu What is the molar mass of methane CH4?
12.0 + (4.00000... X 1.0) = 16.0, to the justified number of significant digits.
