Methane gas contains carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms in the ratio of 1: 4. a sample of methane gas contains 92 hydrogen atoms. how many carbon atoms are in the sample? how many total atoms are in the sample?

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Methane: 1 carbon and 4 hydrogens

A sample 92 hydrogen atoms / carbons = ?

total atoms = ?

Process

                         1  :  4  ::  x  :  92

       x = number of carbons

                         x = (92 x 1) / 4

                         x = 92 / 4

                        x = 23 carbons

Total atoms = hydrogen atoms + carbon atoms

                    = 92 + 23

                    = 115 atoms

4+4+2x

or

2x+8
