Question

The formula of compound containing H And O having mass ratio 1:8

Answer 1

If the ratio, by mass, of hydrogen to oxygen is 2:16 then the total weight of water is 2+16=18 where oxygen is 16/18 and hydrogen makes up the other 2/18

Answer 2

FIND THE MOLAR MASS OF EACH ELEMENT.

Here molar mass of

H = 1.00

O = 16.00

FiND MASS OF EACH ELEMENT IN THE COMPOUND

here

H = 2(1.00) = 2.00

O = 1(16.00) = 16.00

fIND MOLAR MASS OF THE COMPOUND

Here molar mass = 2.00+16.00 = 18.00

FIND RATIO TO THE MASS OF THE COMPOUND.

Ratio of H = 2/18

Ratio of O = 16/18

Ratio of H:O::2:16 = 1:8

Ratio of H:O::2:16 = 1:8
