To find the number of electrons present in 1.6 grams of methane (CH4), we first need to determine the number of moles of methane using its molar mass and then use Avogadro's number to find the number of molecules, and finally, since each methane molecule contains 4 hydrogen atoms, we multiply the number of molecules by 4 to get the total number of hydrogen atoms and hence, the total number of electrons.
