Explanation:
We are considering
of water.
We know that each mole of a substance weights equal to the substances' molar weight.
The molar weight of water (
) is
. This value is a standard and hence can be found from charts.
![\text{Number of moles of compound = }\frac{\text{Weight of sample given}}{\text{Molar weight of compound}}](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/high-school/wuxah1twr7z7lc4dbld2bbvihw93ls9bwd.png)
![\text{Number of moles of water present = }\frac{2.5*10^(18)\text{ }g}{18.0153\text{ }(g)/(mol)}\text{ = }1.3877*10^(17)\text{ }mol](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/high-school/1rsjir9te0vff1s7swotaa370x94eobm7o.png)
∴ Number of moles of water =
![1.3877*10^(17)\text{ }mol](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/high-school/7x9h9pb3dd5sssl73rehzgamxf09ntxkc5.png)
