What is the percent by mass of oxygen in table sugar?

51.41%

Percentage Composition from Formulas

A more complex example is sucrose (table sugar), which is 42.11% carbon, 6.48% hydrogen, and 51.41% oxygen by mass.

Or

53.3 %

Thus the % composition of glucose by mass is carbon 40.0 % oxygen 53.3 % hydrogen 6.7 % In this way, the % composition by mass of any compound can be calculated provided that its formula is known.

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.
