So, here you have to look at the periodic table and see what the molar mass of each molecule composing the water compound
H_2 O
its two hydrogen atom plus an oxygen molecule, making it about 18g per mol.

That said, looking at the mass, we have to ask ourselves, if a mol of water contains 18g of mass, how many moles do we have in 0.5g of water?
We just do a cross multiplication:

((0.5))/(18) =0.027 mol
