What is the mass ratio of hydrogen to oxygen in a water molecule?
2:3
1:8
1:4
1:16
The chemical formula of water is H2O .The mass of two hydrogen atoms is 2.The mass of oxygen atom is 16.Thus ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is 1:8.
In water, the mass ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is always 1:8.
Hydrogen and oxygen combine in a ratio of 1:8 by mass to form water. What mass of oxygen gas is required to react completely with 3g of hydrogen gas?
