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

Toluene (C7H8) and nitric acid (HNO3) are used in the production of trinitrotoluene (TNT, C7H5N3O6), an explosive. C7H8 + HNO3 =
olga55 [171]
  The mass in grams  of nitric  acid that is required  to react  with 454g C7H8 is 932.72  grams

     calculation
find the  moles  of C7H8  used
moles = mass/molar mass

= 454 g/92  = 4.935  moles

balanced reacting  equation

C7H8  +3 HNO3  = C7H5N3O6  +3 H20
by  use of mole ratio between  C7H8  to  HNo3  which is  1:3  the moles of  HNO3  =4.935  x3 = 14.805  moles

mass of HNo3  =  moles  x molar mass
= 14.805  x 63  = 932.72  grams

part B

the  mass of  C7H5N3o6 = 2045.5 grams

calculate the moles of C7H8
= 829 g/92  g/mol  = 9.011  moles

by use of mole  ratio  between C7H8 to C7H5N3O6  which is  1:1  the moles of  C7H5N3O6  is also  = 9.011  moles

mass of  C7H5N3O6  is therefore  =  moles x molar mass

=9.011 x227  = 2045.5 grams

netineya [11]

The unbalanced equation is one in which the moles of atoms are not equal on both sides of the reaction.

<h3>What is a balanced chemical equation?</h3>

A balanced chemical equation is one in wgich the moles of atoms in the reactants side is equal to the moles of atoms on the product side.

The given equations of reaction is not clearly stated.

Therefore, the unbalanced equation is one in which the moles of atoms are not equal on both sides of the reaction.
