Answer:

0.914moles

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of moles in a substance can be got by dividing the number of atoms/molecules/particles by Avagadro's constant (6.02 × 10^23).

That is;

number of moles (n) = number of atom (nA) ÷ 6.02 × 10^23

According to this question, there are 5.5 x 10-23 molecules of H2O

n = 5.5 x 10^23 ÷ 6.02 × 10^23

n = 0.914 × 10^(23-23)

n = 0.914 × 10^0

n = 0.914 × 1

n = 0.914moles
