[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To calculate the number of moles present in a sample of CH4, you need to divide the mass of the sample by the molar mass of CH4.

Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass
Number of moles = 10.55 g / 16.05 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.657 moles

Therefore, the answer is:
a) 0.657 moles of CH4
