Answer:

8.879 moles.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Molar mass of water = 18.02 g/mol

Mass of water = 160.0 g

Mole of water =?

Mole is defined by the following equation:

Mole = mass / molar mass

With the above formula, we can obtain the number of mole present in 160 g of water. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of water = 18.02 g/mol

Mass of water = 160.0 g

Mole of water =?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of water = 160 / 18.02

Mole of water = 8.879 moles.

Therefore, 160 g of water contains 8.879 moles.
