Using the law of constant proportions  which says that within the same compound, elements exist in fixed ratios. 

Therefore; we can use the ratio of total mass to the mass of carbon, to determine the amount of carbon in another sample.

Mass C / Mass CH4 = Mass C / Mass CH4

43.2 g / 57.6 g = Mass C / 37.8 g

Mass C = 37.8 g × 43.2 g / 57.6 g 

              = 28.35 g

Hence; the percentage of carbon will be; 

=(28.35/ 37.8 )× 100%

= 75 % 

Thus; 75% of 37.8 g of methane is carbon

Match the following items. Match the items in the left column to the items in the right column. 1. general or nonspecific observ
ivann1987 [24]
when column B is like the attached pic: (missing in your question)

so the matches will be like that:

1- Qualitative :

as Qualitative is a general or nonspecific observation, they also don't require

measurements and even can't be measured, that is because of the reality is

being approximated only. It  describes qualities and uses opinion

2- Hypothesis : 

as a hypothesis is an educated guess quantitative, and it is a prediction stated

in " If and then " form. a hypothesis to be valid need a research such as:

-Encyclopedia & state and local research facilities & scientific journals.

3- Direct relationship:

as a Direct relationship is when two variable change in the same direction,

and one remaining larger than the other by the same factory.  

- this is a type of a relationship in which there is a change with one variable, and corresponding with the change in the other. and because this corresponding change with the other variable in the same direction so it refers to a positive relationship. 

4- Quantitative:

as Quantitative is a measured observation, It's an information or data based

on quantities obtained. And using numbers, equipment and standard units.

5- Control :

as control is standard, reference data or experiment qualitatively. this is what

you compare your experimental results to. This is for comparing results, it

used as a standard for comparison and use baseline measurements to use in

the comparing.

6- Theory :

 as Theory is a presently accepted explanation of how something happened.

 Scientifically acceptable general principles to explain phenomena. It the

general or abstract principles of the science. for example the  wave theory of

light.

7- Law :

as a law is a statement that explains what something does under the same

conditions. when we take about law in science, it is a general rule to explain

the observations in the form of a mathematical statement. Scientific law may 

be stated in words or expressed as a mathematical equations.

8- Best fit curve:

as best fit curve is a curve drawn to average the data's deviations direct

relationship. It is a process of constructing a curve that has best fit to a

series of data points.
