Answer:

A. 2.107x10^24

Step-by-step explanation:

1 mole is defined as the particles containing in 12g of 12-C. That is 6.022x10²³ particles.

When you say 1 mole of atoms means 6.022x10²³ atoms, 1 mole of molecules means 6.022x10²³ molecules, etc.

Now, 3.5 moles of H₂O are:

3.5mol * (6.022x10²³ molecules / 1mol) = 2.107x10²⁴ molecules of H₂O.

Thus, right answer is:

A. 2.107x10^24
