Approx. 6*mol.

Explanation:

"Number of moles" = "Mass of methane"/"Molar mass of methane"

=(96.00*cancelg)/((12.011+4xx1.00794)*cancelg*mol^-1)

=??mol

Note that the quotient is dimensionally consistent. We want an answer in moles, and we get an answer in 1/(mol^-1)=mol as required.

At STP, what volume would this quantity of methane occupy?
