Cocaine is C17H21NO4 and has a molar mass of 303.353 g/mole. Mass of oxygen in cocaine is 4x16 = 64. So, % oxygen by mass is 64/303.353 (x100) = 21% (to 2 sig. figs)
16.8%
gh
65% by mass
The mass of the oxygen and hydrogen that react to form water will be exactly equal to the mass of the water produced.
11% Hydrogen and 89% Oxygen
The percentage of oxygen (in mass) is 29,776 %.
First find the percentage by mass of oxygen in water. The formula for water is H2O, showing that water contains two hydrogen atoms for every atom of oxygen. The gram atomic masses of hydrogen and oxygen are 1.00794 and 15.9994 respectively. Therefore, the percentage of oxygen in water is 100{15.9994/[15.9994 + 2(1.00794)]} or about 88.8 %, to the justified number of significant digits; the ratio of the maximum mass of water that can be made from a given mass of oxygen is 1/0.888 or about 1.126; and the answer to the question is this number multiplied by the stated mass of oxygen, or 24.9 grams, to the justified number of significant digits.

As mass percentage oxygen is the most abundant.
65% by mass
The mass of the oxygen and hydrogen that react to form water will be exactly equal to the mass of the water produced.
Codeine : C18H21NO3Molecular Mass: 299Mass of oxygen present: 3 X 16 = 48Mass% of Oxygen : 48/299 * 100 = 16 %
This is true for mass-%. Oxygen is 16 times heavier than hydrogen, that outfigures the double elemental ratio for hydrogen to oxygen (2:1) by factor 8 times.
The molecular mass of CO is 28. The carbon percentage by mass is ~43%. Hence the oxygen percentage by mass is ~57%.
