    percentage mass of oxygen = 53.2%

    Explanation:

    A sample of carbohydrate is 5.00 g. The carbohydrate contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The

    mass of carbon = 2.006 g

    mass of hydrogen = 0.334 g

    mass of oxygen = 2.66 g

    The total mass of the sample is 5.00 g which is the sum of the mass of the whole elements present in the compound.

    percentage mass of oxygen = 2.66/5.00 * 100

    percentage mass of oxygen = 266 / 5

    percentage mass of oxygen = 53.2

    percentage mass of oxygen = 53.2%
