1. Find the molar mass of benzene:
* Carbon (C): 12.01 g/mol * 6 = 72.06 g/mol
* Hydrogen (H): 1.01 g/mol * 6 = 6.06 g/mol
* Total molar mass of benzene: 72.06 g/mol + 6.06 g/mol = 78.12 g/mol
2. Calculate the mass percentage of hydrogen:
* (Mass of hydrogen / Molar mass of benzene) * 100%
* (6.06 g/mol / 78.12 g/mol) * 100% = 7.74%
Therefore, the percent composition of hydrogen in benzene is 7.74%.
