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
Okay thanks for the update I will give you a call when you get home thanks
During the electrolysis of the molten lithium chloride, the Lithium ions (Li⁺) at the cathode undergoes reduction, and the electron configuration of lithium becomes 1s²2s¹.
<h3>What is electrolysis?</h3>
Electrolysis can be described as the process in which the electric current is passed through the chemical compound to break them. In this process, the atoms and ions are interchanged by the addition or removal of electrons.
The ions are allowed to move freely in this process. When an ionic compound is melted or dissolved in water then ions are produced which can move freely.
During the electrolysis of molten lithium chloride, the lithium ions reach the cathode and accept the electrons while chloride ions reach at anode and loss electrons to become chlorine gas.
At anode : 2 Cl⁻ → Cl₂ + 2e⁻
At cathode: 2 Li⁺ + 2e⁻ → Li
