B
Let us consider 1 molecule of H2O
Mass of hydrogen in 1 molecule of H2O = 2g
Mass of oxygen in 1 molecule of H2O = 16g
Therefore, total mass of 1 molecule of H2O = 2+16 = 18 g
Now percentage of hydrogen is given by:
= Mass of hydrogen in 1 molecule of H2OTotal mass of 1 molecule of H2O
= 218×100=11.11%
