    I agree with all of your answers EXCEPT the first.

    Recall that the molecular formula for water is H2O

    so there are 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom

    2 hydogens have a mass of 2 units

    1 oxygen has a mass of 16 units

    so there is 8 times more oxygen mass than hydrogen mass.
