KH (Henry's constant) = 1.4x10-3 M/atm
According to Henry's law, C = KP where P = partial pressure; K = Henry's constant; C = concentration (M)
C = (1.4x10-3 M/atm)(0.07 atm)
C = 9.8x10-5 M = 9.8x10-5 mols/L
mols methane = 9.8x10-5 mols / L x 1500 L = 0.147 mols
molar mass methane = 16.04 g / mol
grams methane = 0.147 mols x 16.04 g/mol = 2.36 g = 2.4 g methane (2 sig. figs.)

Thanks. You were just off by 1 decimal point so its actually 2.35788 grams of methane.10/05/21
