Using mass spectrometer, one can identify and/or separate the isotopes of the elements and also predict its composition in a given mixture.

How do you find the mass of hydrogen?

Look on a periodic table. If you have different isotopes then you need to multiply the mass number and atomic number and then find the average of them and you'll have the average atomic mass which is the same as on the periodic table. The location of the mass number on a periodic table depends but it's normally the one with a decimal.
