Answer:


n = 403.520\,mol

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of moles is given by dividing the total number of molecule of water by the Avogradro's Number:


n = (2.43* 10^(26)\,molecules)/(6.022* 10^(23)\,(molecules)/(mol) )


n = 403.520\,mol

Answer: Thus there are 404 moles of water in this.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number
6.023* 10^(23) of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:


\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given molecules}}{\text {avogadro's number}}


\text{Number of moles of water}=(2.43* 10^(26))/(6.023* 10^(23))=404moles

Thus there are 404 moles of water in this.
