The molar mass of O2 = 2*16 = 32
The molar mass of H2 = 2*1 = 2

As w.k.t. atomic mass of both oxygen and hydrogen is 16 and 1 respectively, Hence
ratio of their masses = 32/2 = 16.

Atomic mass of H = 1,

Atomic mass of O =16.

So, the ratio of the atomic mass of both is 16. Oxygen atom 16 times heavier than hydrogen atom.

Why molecular mass is being calculated here?

When it is clearly been asked about ATOMS not MOLECULES. I think it should be 8.

Atomic mass of hydrogen is 1 & oxygen is 16.

So, the oxygen atom is 16 times heavier than a hydrogen atom.

Shahbaz Ali said:   7 years ago
Atomic mass of Oxygen is 16.
Atomic mass of Hydrogen is 1.
So it's ratio is 16/1=16. Answer.
So, option is D
(1)

Molecular weight of H = 2.016.

Molecular weight of O = 32.

So 32/2.016 = 15.87 = 16.

Anand said:   9 years ago
Molecular weight of O is 16 only.

For O2 -> 32.

So, the answer is 16/2 = 8.

Mass of hydrogen is 1.

Mass of oxygen I is 16.

So sixteen times.

Mass number of H = 2.

Mass number of O = 32.

Ratio = 16.

O+O =O2.

16+16 =32,
16/2 + 16/2 = 32/2,
8+8=16.
