What is the percent composition each element in c6h8o6

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%
