Write true or false for the following statements:

In water, the ratio of the mass of hydrogen to the mass of oxygen is always 1:8, whatever is the source of water.

True

According to the postulates of Dalton’s atomic theory atoms of different elements combine in fixed ratios to form compounds. So, in water, the ratio of the mass of hydrogen to the mass of oxygen is always 1:8, whatever is the source of water.


Hence, the above statement is true.
