Answer

Information conveyed by formula [H2O] —

  1. One molecule of water (H2O) is made of two atoms of Hydrogen and one atom of Oxygen.
  2. As atomic weight of hydrogen is 1 and that of oxygen is 16. Therefore, ratio by weight of hydrogen and oxygen is 2HO\dfrac{2\text{H}}{\text{O}} = 216\dfrac{2}{16} = 18\dfrac{1}{8}
  3. Molecular weight of H2O is 2H + O = 2 + 16 = 18g.
