In a water molecule, the ratio of the mass of Hydrogen to the mass of Oxygen is always ________.

This question was previously asked in
RRB ALP 2018 CBT 2 Fitter Question Paper (21-Jan-2019) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

1:8

1 mole of hydrogen = 1 gram

1 mole of oxygen = 16 grams

Water (H2O) =  2 hydrogen atoms + 1 oxygen atom

2 moles of hydrogen = 2 grams

1 mole of oxygen = 16 grams

The ratio of the mass of hydrogen to the mass of oxygen =  2/16 = 1/8 

The ratio of the mass of hydrogen to the mass of oxygen is always 1: 8.
