<u>Answer:</u>

Mass of C in 3.40 g of HCN =1.51 gram.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mass of sample of HCN = 7.99 g

Mass of H in 7.99 g of HCN = 0.296 g

Mass of N in 7.99 g of HCN = 4.14 g

Mass of C in 7.99 g of HCN = (7.99-0.296-4.14) = 3.554 g

Now mass of HCN = 3.40 g

Mass of C in 3.40 g of HCN = $\frac{3.554}{7.99} *3.40 =1.51 g$

So mass of C in 3.40 g of HCN =1.51 gram.
