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

Step-by-step explanation:

Hydrogen H11 Has only one proton and no neutrons and so has an atomic number of 1 and a mass of 1

Oxygen O168 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.
