The molecular formula of methane (CH_4) suggests that one molecule of this compound consists of 4 atoms of H.

So 1 mole of CH_4 will have 4 mol atom of Hydrogen.

Now number of moles of CH_4 in 5.2 xx10^24 molecules is

=(5.2 xx10^24)/"Avogadro's number"

So the number of moles of H atom in it

=(4xx5.2 xx10^24)/"Avogadro's number"

=(4xx5.2 xx10^24)/(6.024xx10^23)~~34.5mol atom
