Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to use the concept of molar mass and Avogadro's number.

The molar mass of carbon (atomic weight) is approximately 12 g/mol, and the molar mass of water is approximately 18 g/mol.

One mole of any substance contains Avogadro's number of atoms or molecules, which is 6.02 × 10^23.

Therefore, the number of atoms in 1 g of carbon is:

(1 g) / (12 g/mol) x (6.02 × 10^23 atoms/mol) = 5.02 × 10^22 atoms

To find the number of atoms in 1 g of water, we first need to calculate how many moles of water are in 1 g:

(1 g) / (18 g/mol) = 0.0556 mol

Then, we can find the number of water molecules (or atoms) in 1 g of water:

0.0556 mol x (6.02 × 10^23 molecules/mol) = 3.34 × 10^22 molecules (or atoms)

Therefore, there are approximately 3.34 × 10^22 atoms in 1 g of water.
