\textbf{1.3877}*\textbf{10}^{\textbf{17}}\textbf{ mol}

Explanation:

We are considering
2.5*10^(18)\text{ }g of water.

We know that each mole of a substance weights equal to the substances' molar weight.

The molar weight of water (
H_(2)O ) is
18.0153\text{ }(g)/(mol). 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}}


\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

∴ Number of moles of water =
1.3877*10^(17)\text{ }mol
