Answer
Information conveyed by formula [H2O] —
- One molecule of water (H2O) is made of two atoms of Hydrogen and one atom of Oxygen.
- As atomic weight of hydrogen is 1 and that of oxygen is 16. Therefore, ratio by weight of hydrogen and oxygen is = =
- Molecular weight of H2O is 2H + O = 2 + 16 = 18g.
