The hematocrit, also known as the "Hct", "crit" or PCV (packed cell volume) determines the percentage of red blood cells in the plasma. The term hematocrit means "to separate blood."
A patient with a severe burn loses huge amounts of plasma from damaged capillaries. As a result, the vascular space loses fluid in relation to cellular elements and the patient's hematocrit will be significantly increased.

The mass of oxygen and hydrogen must be equal to the mass of the substance they create the water. So if the hydrogen is 2.8 g the oxygen must account for the rest of the mass. Basically just subtract 25.4-2.8=mass of oxygen
