Chapter 28: Problem 7

How many carbon atoms are found in one mole of methane molecules?

Short Answer

Expert verified
There are approximately \(6.022 \times 10^{23}\) carbon atoms in one mole of methane (CH4) molecules.

Step by step solution

01

Identify molecular structure of Methane

Methane (CH4) is a molecular compound composed of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms.
02

Understand the mole concept

The mole concept establishes that one mole of any element or molecule contains approximately \(6.022 \times 10^{23}\) entities. These entities can be atoms, molecules, ions, etc.
03

Apply the mole concept

For a molecule of methane, one molecule contains exactly one carbon atom. Thus, one mole of methane contains exactly one mole of carbon atoms.
04

Calculate the number of carbon atoms

By using Avogadro's number, we multiply one mole of carbon atoms with the Avogadro's number \(6.022 \times 10^{23}\) to obtain the number of carbon atoms in a mole of methane.
