Answer:
Percentage of oxygen = 30%
Percentage of carbon = 30%
Percentage of hydrogen = 40%
Explanation:
Formula:
Percentage of element = given amount / total amount × 100
Given compound:
C₆H₈O₆
Number of atoms of carbon = 6
Number of atoms of hydrogen = 8
Number of atoms of oxygen = 6
Total number of atoms = 20
Percentage of carbon = 6/20 × 100
Percentage of carbon = 30%
Percentage of Hydrogen = 8/20 × 100
Percentage of Hydrogen = 40%
Percentage of oxygen = 6/20 × 100
Percentage of oxygen = 30%
