C₂H₂ has the greatest percent by mass of carbon (92.3%)

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Hydrocarbons

Required

The greatest percent by mass of Carbon

Solution

Proust states <em>the Comparative Law</em> that compounds are formed from elements with the same Mass Comparison so that compounds have a constant composition of elements

% A in AxBy = (x.Ar A/MW AxBy) x 100%

C₃H₄ = 3.12/40 x 100%=90%

CH₄ = 12/16 x 100% = 75%

C₂H₄=2.12/28 x 100% = 85.7%

C₂H₂=2.12/26 x 100% = 92.3%
