- Relative molecular weight of CH4: 16.04246
- Molar mass of CH4: 16.04246 g/mol (0.01604 kg/mol)
Element | Total atoms | Atomic mass | Total mass |
---|---|---|---|
C (Carbon) | 1 | 12.0107 | 12.0107 |
H (Hydrogen) | 4 | 1.00794 | 4.03176 |
16.04246 |
- Mr[CH4] = Ar[C] + Ar[H] * 4 = 12.0107 + 1.00794 * 4 = 16.04246
- Molar mass (kg/mol) = Mr[CH4] : 1000 = 16.04246 : 1000 = 0.01604 kg/mol
- Carbon (C) = 12.0107 : 16.04246 * 100 = 74.868 %
- Hydrogen (H) = 4.03176 : 16.04246 * 100 = 25.132 %
