Well, there are 20mol of hydrogen, so approx. 20g........

Explanation:

In one mole of methane we have a mass 16.0g. Carbon constitutes 12g of this mass, and 4g of this are hydrogen. If there is a 5.0mol quantity of methane, clearly there are 4×5mol hydrogen, and a mass with respect to hydrogen of approx. 20g. What is the mass of carbon in this quantity?
