    The amount of carbon is 37.40 kg.

    Explanation:

    Molecular weight of anthracite (C240H90O4NS) = (12*240) + (1*90) + (16*4) + 14 + 32 = 2,880 + 90 + 64 + 14 + 32 = 3,080 g/mol

    Molecular weight of carbon in anthracite = 12*240 = 2,880 g/mol

    Mass of sample of anthracite = 40 kg

    Amount of carbon = 2,880/3,080 * 40 kg = 37.40 kg
