What is the ratio of hydrogen atoms (H) to oxygen atoms (O) in 2 L of water? Enter the simplest whole number ratio in order of hydrogen to oxygen, respectively.

Answer : The ratio of hydrogen and oxygen in water is, (2:1)

Explanation :

As we know that the chemical formula of water is, .

In , there are 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen.

As we are given that the volume of water is, 2 L. So, there is no matter what is the volume of water that means there is no role of volume of water.

The ratio of hydrogen and oxygen in water is, (2:1)

Thus, in 2 L volume of water, the ratio of hydrogen and oxygen in water is also same that is, (2:1)
