9. Remember your “ideal gas law”

One mole of methane (at “standard temperature and pressure”) has roughly the same volume (22.4 liters) as one mole of hydrogen.

On the other hand, one mole of methane weighs sixteen times as much as one mole of hydrogen.

http://www.convertunits.com/molarmass/Methane : Molar mass of CH4 = 16.04246 g/mol
http://www.convertunits.com/molarmass/Hydrogen : Molar mass of H = 1.00794 g/mol

Actually comparing hydrogen to octane by weight isn't valid either. TexasTowelie Aug 2016 #6
