Question

in water the hydrogen to oxygen mass ratio is
a) 1:8
b) 1:16
c) 1:32

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Water is created when the mass ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is 1:8.

Mass Ratio of Hydrogen to Oxygen:

The mass ratio provides information on an element's mass in relation to another element.

• The symbol of Hydrogen is H.
• The symbol of oxygen is O.
• The molecular formula of water is $H_{2} O$.
• It has 2 Hydrogen atoms and 1 Oxygen atoms.
• Atomic mass of hydrogen is 1u.
• Atomic weight of oxygen is 16u.

Since, water molecule contains 1 oxygen atom and 2 hydrogen atoms, their mass ratios are 2 : 16 = 1 : 8.

Therefore, Water is created when the mass ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is 1:8.
