Hello!

First you have to find the molar mass of the molecules

C = 12
O = 16
2Cl = 71
6H2O = 108

Add them up to find the total molar mass

12 + 16 + 71 + 108 = 207g/mol

Divide the amount of water by the total molar mass

108 / 207 = 0.5217

Convert this to a decimal

0.5217 = 52.17%

The answer is 52.17%

Hope this helps!
