Question
**Educational Content: Calculating Moles of Gas**

**Problem Statement:**

A sample of methane gas (CH₄) is collected at a pressure of 0.638 atm and a temperature of 279 K. It occupies a volume of 695 milliliters. Calculate the number of moles of CH₄ gas in the sample.

**Instructions:**

- Use the ideal gas law formula: PV = nRT
  - P = pressure (atm)
  - V = volume (liters)
  - n = moles of gas
  - R = ideal gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/mol·K)
  - T = temperature (Kelvin)

- Convert the volume from milliliters to liters by dividing by 1000.
  
- Rearrange the formula to solve for n (moles): n = PV / RT

**Interactive Components:**

- Enter your calculated value in the provided box and submit your answer.
- You have multiple attempts to ensure understanding.
- Use the "References" section for important values or additional help if needed.

**Options:**

- [Submit Answer]
