The formula for methane shows that each molecule of it contains 5 atom: 1 carbon atom and 4 hydrogen atoms. The gram molecular mass of methane is 16.04. Therefore, 28 grams of methane contains 28/16.04 moles of methane and 5 times this number, or 8.7, "moles of atoms", to the justified number of significant digits.

CO2 has a molecular weight of one carbon (12) plus two oxygen (2x16) or 44. A gram-mole is one gram times the molecular weight so a gram mole of CO2 is 44 grams.

Thus 28 grams is 0.636 gram-mole.
