The compound C₆H₁₂O₄ contains

22 atoms per mole

twice the mass percent of H as compared to the mass percent of C

six times the mass percent of C as compared to the mass percent of H

thrice the mass percent of H as compared to the mass percent of O

Explanation:

There are 6.022×1023 entities in 1 mole.
Atomic mass of Carbon = 12
Atomic mass of Hydrogen = 1|
Atomic mass of Oxygen = 16
Molecular mass = (6 × 12) + (12 × 1) + (4 × 16)
= 72 + 12 + 64 = 148
Mass percentage of carbon = 72/148 = 49% Mass percentage of hydrogen = 12/148 = 8%
Mass percentage of oxygen = 64/148 = 43%
