Well, the formula for water is H2O, which means there is two hydrogen atoms for every one oxygen atom. If this doesn't answer your question, then maybe you're looking for percentages.

To do this you need the atomic masses of the elements involved and the sum of those masses to find the molecular mass of water.

Hydrogen = 1.0 × 2 atoms = 2.0 grams

Oxygen = 16.0 grams

----------------------------------

Water = 18.0 grams

To find the percentage of each element in water, take the mass and divide it by the total mass.

2.00 grams ÷ 18.0 grams = .111 = 11.1% water is hydrogen

16.0 grams ÷ 18.0 grams = .889 = 88.9% water is oxygen
