By number of atoms it has more hydrogen, by mass it has more oxygen. Each water molecule contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. However, a typical oxygen atom has about 16 times the mass of a typical hydrogen atom.

How can you tell there is more oxygen in hydrogen peroxide than in water?

You can tell that there is more oxygen in hydrogen peroxide than in water because hydrogen peroxide has an extra oxygen atom compared to water. The chemical formula for hydrogen peroxide is H2O2, while the formula for water is H2O. This extra oxygen in hydrogen peroxide makes it a more oxidizing chemical compared to water.


Does hydrogen contain one more oxygen than water or two more?

Hydrogen contains no oxygen in its chemical structure. Water contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.


Is hydrogen more soluble in water than oxygen?

Yes, hydrogen is more soluble in water than oxygen. Hydrogen is slightly soluble in water, whereas oxygen is only sparingly soluble. This is due to the difference in their molecular structures and properties.


How is the formula for water different than the formula for hydrogen peroxide?

Water is H2O. Hydrogen peroxide is H2O2. Hydrogen peroxide has one more oxygen atom per molecule than water. The extra oxygen is what makes it a peroxide. "Hydrogen oxide" would be water. The extra oxygen also makes hydrogen peroxide much more reactive than water due to the unstable oxygen-oxygen bond.


When hydrogen and oxygen conforms to water what would water be considered and what would hydrogen and oxygen be considered?

Hydrogen and oxygen are the reactants and water is the product.


In an electrolysis of water what produces more gas hydrogen or oxygen?

In an electrolysis of water, hydrogen gas is produced in greater quantity compared to oxygen gas. This is because water molecules (H2O) consist of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, so the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen produced is 2:1.


What contains two or more elements?

Water has Hydrogen and Oxygen in it.


When hydrogen and oxygen bind to one another the electrons are pulled?

When hydrogen and oxygen bind to form water, the electrons are shared between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms. This sharing creates a stable covalent bond in the water molecule.


Do hydrogen and oxygen react with water?

Hydrogen and oxygen do react with water. When hydrogen reacts with oxygen in the presence of water, it forms water again. This reaction can be seen in the process of electrolysis, where water is split into its components, hydrogen and oxygen, using electric current.


What inflammable gas mixes with oxygen to form water?

Oxygen is actually a part of Water. The formula of Water is H2O or Hydrogen2(2 atoms) Oxygen. So since oxygen is part of water, if the Earth had no more oxygen, we could get it from water, but water would evaporate because there is no oxygen. But since Oxygen is lighter that Hydrogen, if it's not mixed, it will rise, rise to the surface.


What is more in water hydrogen or oxygen?

There is more hydrogen because H2o, stands for 2 hydrogen molecules with one one 02 molecule


When hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water oxygen is?

When hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water, water is a product of the reaction.
