    From the periodic table, we can find that:

    molecular mass of carbon = 12 grams

    molecular mass of hydrogen = 1 gram

    Therefore, molar mass of methane = 4 (1) + 12 = 16 grams

    Now we need to calculate the mass of 5.6 moles.

    Number of moles can be calculated using the following rule:

    number of moles = mass / molar mass

    This means that:

    mass = number of moles x molar mass

    mass = 5.6 x 16 = 89.6 grams

    There are 89.6 grams of methane in 5.6 moles.

    Now, for the volume of the gas:

    At standard temperature and pressure conditions, one mole of gas occupies 22.4 liters, we can simply use cross multiplication to find the volume that 5.6 moles occupies as follows:

    volume of 5.6 moles = (5.6 x 22.4) / 1 = 125.44 liters
