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 grams of hydrogen are there in 16 grams of methane gas?

First you need atomic masses. Then you need to add them up to find the molecular mass of methane (CH4).Carbon = 12.0 gramsHydrogen = 1.0×4 = 4.0 grams--------------------------------------Methane = 16.0 gramsNow that you know the total mass, you can figure out how much of the compound is actually hydrogen (by percent). So you take the mass of hydrogen and divide it by the total mass of methane.4.0 ÷ 16.0 = .25 = 25% of methane is hydrogenNow we take the 16 grams and figure out how much of that 16 grams is hydrogen. We know that 25% of it is hydrogen, so take one-fourth of 16 to get 4. But sometimes the numbers aren't as easy and you have to multiply them out.25% of 16 = .25 × 16 = 4 grams hydrogen


What does the letters C and H stand for in methane?

Carbon and hydrogen. Methane has the chemical formula CH4, which means a single molecule of methane contains one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms.


Distance between hydrogen to hydrogen atom in methane molecules?

In a methane molecule, the distance between the hydrogen atoms is approximately 1.09 angstroms. This distance is determined by the molecular structure and the bond length between the hydrogen and carbon atoms in methane.
