Answer:

6.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the compound is given as:

C₆ H₁₂ O₆

The problem here is to find the percent composition of hydrogen.

First;

Find the molar mass of C₆ H₁₂ O₆ = 6(12) + 12(1) + 6(16) = 180g/mol

Secondly;

Percentage composition of H =
(molar mass of H)/(Molar mass of compound) x 100

Percentage composition of H =
(12(1))/(180) x 100 = 6.7%
