Answer: The percent composition of oxygen is 54.5%
Explanation:
Below I have attached my work through, but essentially the percent composition relies on finding the mass of the oxygens and dividing it by the mass of the whole compound. The masses of the elements can be found on the periodic table and added together to get a mass of the whole compound- ascorbic acid. Then, you turn this proportion into a percent by multiplying by 100%.

To find the mass of glucose, you must multiply the atomic weight of each of the elements in the molecule by the subscripts in the formula:
Then you add all of them together:
Therefore, the molar weight of glucose is 180.15 grams.
