Step-by-Step Verified Solution

A. 16 g of CH4 (g)\mathrm{CH_4~(g)}

The molar mass of CH4\mathrm{CH_4} (Methane) is 16 g/mol. Therefore, 16 g of CH4\mathrm{CH_4} is equivalent to 1 mole of CH4\mathrm{CH_4} . Furthermore, each molecule of CH4\mathrm{CH_4} has 10 electrons (6 from Carbon and 4 from Hydrogen). As a result, 1 mole of CH4\mathrm{CH_4} (or 6.022×10236.022 \times 10^{23} molecules of CH4\mathrm{CH_4} ) would have 10×6.022×1023=60.2×102310 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} = 60.2 \times 10^{23} electrons. This matches with (II).

B. 1 g of H2 (g)\mathrm{H_2~(g)}

The molar mass of H2\mathrm{H_2} (Hydrogen) is 2 g/mol. Therefore, 1 g of H2\mathrm{H_2} is equivalent to 0.5 moles of H2\mathrm{H_2} . The volume that a given quantity of gas occupies is proportional to the number of moles of gas. At standard temperature and pressure (STP), 1 mole of any ideal gas occupies 22.4 liters. Therefore, 0.5 moles of gas would occupy 0.5×22.4=11.20.5 \times 22.4 = 11.2 liters. The closest match is (IV) with 11.4 liters (the small discrepancy may be due to rounding or slightly different conditions than STP).

C. 1 mole of N2 (g)\mathrm{N_2~(g)}

The molar mass of N2\mathrm{N_2} (Nitrogen) is 28 g/mol. Therefore, 1 mole of N2\mathrm{N_2} weighs 28 g. This matches with (I).

D. 0.5 mol of SO2 (g)\mathrm{SO_2~(g)}

The molar mass of SO2\mathrm{SO_2} (Sulfur Dioxide) is 64 g/mol. Therefore, 0.5 moles of SO2\mathrm{SO_2} weigh 0.5×64=320.5 \times 64 = 32 g. This matches with (III).

Thus, the correct matches are:

A - II

B - IV

C - I

D - III
