Determine the percentage composition of each element in table sugar, C12H22O11.

Answer

Solution:

  1. For carbon: The percentage composition is calculated as follows:
    (12(12.011 g/mole C) / 342.297 g/mole C12H22O11) x 100 = 42.107% C
  2. For hydrogen: The percentage composition is calculated as follows:
    (22(1.008 g/mole H) / 342.297 g/mole C12H22O11) x 100 = 6.479% H
  3. For oxygen: The percentage composition is calculated as follows:
    (11(15.999 g/mole O) / 342.297 g/mole C12H22O11) x 100 = 51.414% O
