In a compound such as water, the ratio of the mass of hydrogen to the mass of oxygen is always 1:8, whatever the source of water. Thus, if 9 g of water is decomposed, 1 g of hydrogen and 8 g of oxygen are always obtained.

Answer:
1:8
Explanation:
In water (H2O), hydrogen and oxygen are always present in the ratio of 1 : 8 by mass whatever the method of source from which water is obtained.
Mass of two hydrogen atoms=2
Mass of one oxygen atom=16
Ratio of hydrogen and oxygen by mass= 2:16 = 1:8
