It's just a naming convention. The rules of nomenclature were somewhat arbitrary at first. Then the need of standardization became apparent, and so formal naming rules came into play (sort of).

How many grams of carbon are present in 45.0 g of CCl4?

To find the grams of carbon in 45.0 g of CCl4, we first determine the molar mass of CCl4. The molar mass of carbon (C) is approximately 12.01 g/mol and that of chlorine (Cl) is about 35.45 g/mol. Thus, the molar mass of CCl4 is 12.01 g/mol + (4 × 35.45 g/mol) = 153.81 g/mol. The fraction of the mass that is carbon is 12.01 g/mol / 153.81 g/mol, and multiplying this by 45.0 g gives approximately 3.52 g of carbon in 45.0 g of CCl4.
