(a) Two of the simplest compounds containing just carbon and hydrogen are methane and ethane. Given that methane contains 0.3357 g hydrogen for every 1.00 g carbon and that the ratio of g hydrogen/1.00 g carbon in methane to g hydrogen/1.00 g carbon in ethane is 4:3, determine the number of grams of hydrogen per gram of carbon in ethane. (b) Xenon
