    The reason is that Oxygen atoms contain 16 times more mass than Hydrogen atoms.

    Explanation:

    Hydrogen H 11 Has only one proton and no neutrons and so has an atomic number of 1 and a mass of 1

    Oxygen O 168 Has 8 protons and also 8 neutrons and having atomic number of 8 and a mass of 16.

    Hydrogen takes 16 Hydrogen atoms to equal the mass of 1 oxygen atom.
