Oxygen is 16, hydrogen 1; therefore 17 > As hydroxide OH (or the alcohol functional group)
33 > As water H2O
The molecular mass of a molecule is just the sum of the masses of each atom in it. So if water has a mass of 18, and hydrogen has a mass of 1, and there are two hydrogens and one oxygen in water (it has formula H2O), than oxygen must weigh 16. That is: 18 - (2*1) = 16 You can also look at a periodic table, and it will tell you the mass of every element without doing any calculations! See the Web Links to the left of the answer.
The atomic mass of a human is the sum of atomic masses of all the elements that make up the body. On average, a human body is composed mostly of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen, with trace amounts of other elements. The total atomic mass of a human is about 30 kilograms.
Atomic number is the number of protons. Atomic mass is (mostly) the sum of the masses of the protons and neutrons (more or less).
First, find its empirical formula: C9H8O4 Then find the atomic masses of C, H and O: 12.01, 1.01, 16.00 Then multiply those numbers by the number of each of them in Aspirin: 12.01 X 9 = 108.09, 1.01 X 8 = 8.08, 16.00 X 4 = 64.00 Then add those three numbers up to get Aspirin's molar mass: 180.17 Then divide each of those three numbers by Aspirin's molar mass and multiply by 100%: C = 60.00%, H = 4.48%, O = 35.52
If the atomic mass of water is 18 and the atomic mass of hydrogen is 1 then the atomic mass of oxygen is 16

Isotopes involve different atomic masses. It is sum of number of protons and neutrons.
molecular mass
Because of conservation of matter the nucleus would weigh the same as the sum of the two isotopes.
The atomic mass of a human is the sum of atomic masses of all the elements that make up the body. On average, a human body is composed mostly of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen, with trace amounts of other elements. The total atomic mass of a human is about 30 kilograms.
The molar mass of an element is its atomic weight in grams. The molar mass of a molecule or compound is the sum of the subscripts times the molar masses in grams. For example, the molar mass of hydrogen, H, is 1.00794g and the molar mass of oxygen, O, is 15.9994g. The molar mass of water, H2O, is (2 x 1.00794g) + (1 x 15.9994g O) = 18.01528g.
There are 8 neutrons in oxygen element because the no. of electrons are equal to the number of protons and oxygen element contain 8 electrons.
daltons law!
The formula mass of a compound that contains the element would be a larger number than the mass number of the individual element. The individual element would simply be the mass of just that one atom, where as the compound would be the mass of that atom plus the other masses of the other atoms that make up the compound. ex. Oxygen-O has a mass number of about 16 grams. Water-H2O has a formula mass of 2 x mass of Hydrogen-H (about 1) + the mass of Oxygen-O 16 = 18 grams. A formula mass of 18 g is more than a mass number of 16 g.
The reaction SO2 + H2O -> H2SO3 is not balanced because the sum of the atoms of each element is not equal on both sides of the chemical equation. Specifically, the hydrogen and oxygen atoms are unbalanced.
To determine the total number of elements in a chemical formula, you count the atoms of each element present in the formula. Each element is represented by its chemical symbol (e.g., H for hydrogen, O for oxygen). The sum of the atoms of each element gives you the total number of elements in the chemical formula.
Atomic weight of oxygen is 15,999. Atomic weight of hydrogen is 1,008. Two hydrogen atoms: 2,016. Two oxygen atoms: 31,998. The sum is the molar mass of hydrogen peroxide: 34,014.
