I am wondering if when using Tor my requests are hidden from my DNS servers.

For example, I have set up my computer to use google's IPv6 DNS servers, does google see the domains I am accessing?

I am sorry to have to ask such a seemingly basic question here, but I was really struggling to find a comprehensive answer through search engines.

It depends, nowdays. A lot of people are using OpenDNS or Google DNS or other public DNS servers. For good - yes, but Tor routes DNS requests to the exit node to resolve, and sometimes a situation when you have the same open dns as the exit node is not rare. So the answer is - it hides your requests from your ISP DNS servers, but if you use open dns - there's a possibility that you will use the same open one as the exit node.
