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

What is the change in boiling point for a 0.615m solution of Mgl2 in water?
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer :  The change in boiling point is, 0.94^oC

Explanation :

Formula used :

\Delta T_b=i\times K_f\times m

where,

\Delta T_b = change in boiling point = ?

i = Van't Hoff factor = 3 (for MgI₂ electrolyte)

K_f = boiling point constant for water = 0.51^oC/m

m = molality  = 0.615 m

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

\Delta T_b=3\times (0.51^oC/m)\times 0.615m

\Delta T_b=0.94^oC

Therefore, the change in boiling point is, 0.94^oC

Which situation would cause the following equilibrium reaction to decrease the formation of the products? 2SO2 (g) + O2 (g) Two
vovangra [49]

The given equilibrium reaction is,

2 SO_{2} (g) + O_{2}(g)  2 SO_{3} (g) + Energy

The given reaction is exothermic. So, heat energy will be a product. Therefore, decreasing the temperature (heat energy) would lead to the formation of more products as when the amount of energy which is a product is reduced, there is more room for the products to form.

Increasing the pressure would shift the equilibrium towards that side which has least number of moles of the gaseous substance. Hence, here increasing the pressure would lead to the formation of more products by shifting the equilibrium towards the right side.

Decreasing the volume would make the equilibrium shift towards the least number of moles of the gaseous substance. So, here in this equilibrium decreasing the volume would lead to the formation of more products.

A beaker was half filled with freshly distilled H2O and placed on a hot plate. As the temperature of the water reached 100°C, vi
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

If anything but H2O were found, it would be evidence of a chemical change. Therefore, 4 is the only viable evidence that it was a physical change of H2O liquid to H2O gas.
