Best Answer

Methane and hydrogen are different gases because they have different chemical compositions and properties. Methane (CH4) is composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms, while hydrogen (H2) is composed solely of hydrogen atoms. Additionally, they have different physical properties such as boiling and melting points.

How can you tell that methane is saturated?

We know that methane is saturated, because carbon can form a maximum of four bonds, and methane is a molecule in which a carbon atom is bound to four hydrogen atoms, so it has reached its limit.

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
