Answer:


4.92\text{ moles}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the number of moles in the given mass of water

To get this, we have to divide the mass given by the molar mass of water

Mathematically:


Number\text{ of moles = }\frac{mass}{molar\text{ mass}}

The molar mass of water is 18 g/mol

Thus, we have the number of moles as:


Number\text{ of moles = }(88.5)/(18)\text{ = 4.92 moles}
