Answer:

The molecular formula of the compound is C_6H_{12}O_6.

Explanation:

Let the molecular formula of the compound is C_xH_{y}O_z.in

Molar mass of compound = 180 g/mol

Number of carbon atom = x

Number of hydrogen atom = y

Number of oxygen atom = z

Atomic mass of carbon = 12 g/mol

Atomic mass of hydrogen = 1 g/mol

Atomic mass of oxygen = 16 g/mol

Percentage of element in compound :

=\frac{\text{number of atoms}\times \text{Atomic mass}}{\text{molar mas of compound}}\times 100

Carbon :

40.00\%\%=\frac{x\times 12g/mol}{180 g/mol}\times 100

x = 46

Hydrogen :

6.713\%=\frac{y\times 1 g/mol}{180 g/mol}\times 100

y = 12

Oxygen:

53.28\%=\frac{z\times 16 g/mol}{180 g/mol}\times 100

z = 5.99 ≈ 6

The molecular formula of the compound is C_6H_{12}O_6.

These could all go either way, hardness and other special properties are what I'm guessing would be the most accurate in determining the kind of material.
luster, cleavage, streak, and color can all be affected by other factors. but I guess cleavage would also be accurate. so I guess hardness special properties and cleavage would be the most reliable.
