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

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

11 g S

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[PT] Molar Mass of S - 32.07 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

  1. Set up:                                \displaystyle 11 \ g \ S(\frac{1 \ mol \ S}{32.07 \ g \ S})
  2. Multiply/Divide:                  \displaystyle 0.343 \ mol \ S

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 2 sig figs.</em>

0.343 mol S ≈ 0.34 mol S
