1. Find the molar mass of CH4:

* Carbon (C): 12.01 g/mol

* Hydrogen (H): 1.01 g/mol (and there are 4 hydrogen atoms)

* Molar mass of CH4 = 12.01 + (1.01 x 4) = 16.05 g/mol

2. Use the molar mass to convert grams to moles:

* Moles = (Mass in grams) / (Molar mass)

* Moles = 96.0 g / 16.05 g/mol

* Moles = 5.98 mol (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, there are approximately 5.98 moles of CH4 in 96.0 grams of CH4.
