1. Calculate the molar mass of the compound:
* Carbon (C): 2 atoms * 12.01 g/mol = 24.02 g/mol
* Oxygen (O): 6 atoms * 16.00 g/mol = 96.00 g/mol
* Hydrogen (H): 12 atoms * 1.01 g/mol = 12.12 g/mol
Total molar mass: 24.02 + 96.00 + 12.12 = 132.14 g/mol
2. Calculate the mass of hydrogen in the compound:
* Mass of hydrogen = 12.12 g/mol
3. Calculate the percentage of hydrogen:
* (Mass of hydrogen / Molar mass of compound) * 100%
* (12.12 g/mol / 132.14 g/mol) * 100%
* ≈ 9.16%
Therefore, approximately 9.16% of C2O6H12 is hydrogen.
