\(5.87 * 10^(22)\) molecules of water is approximately
\(0.0976\) moles of water.

To determine the number of moles in a given quantity of molecules, you can use Avogadro's number, which is approximately
\(6.022 * 10^(23)\)molecules/mol.

Given that you have
\(5.87 * 10^(22)\) molecules of water, you can use the following formula:


\[\text{Number of moles} = \frac{\text{Number of molecules}}{\text{Avogadro's number}}\]

Substitute the values:


\[\text{Number of moles} = (5.87 * 10^(22))/(6.022 * 10^(23))\]

Calculating this expression gives:


\[\text{Number of moles} \approx 0.0976 \, \text{moles}\]

So,
\(5.87 * 10^(22)\) molecules of water is approximately
\(0.0976\) moles of water.
