the first question says percentage by mass...so u add up the mr. and divide the mass of hydrogen and oxygen contained in the molecule by the molecules mr. if they are both equal to each other...u have ur answer...while the second is pretty straight forward....write out the equation and balance the Os on either side of the equation...
