Answer

6.022 x 10$^{23}$

Work Step by Step

As the density of water is 1 $\frac{gram}{milliliter}$, 18 mL of water is equal to 18 grams. Thus, the given mass is 18 grams. Molecular Mass of H$_{2}$O = (16+2) x 1 = 18 grams Number of Moles = $\frac{Given Mass}{Molecular Mass}$ Number of Moles = $\frac{18}{18}$ Number of Moles =1 We can now calculate the number of molecules using this formula: Number of Molecules = Number of Moles x Avogadro Number Number of Molecules = 1 x 6.022 x 10$^{23}$ Numer of Molecules = 6.022 x 10$^{23}$
