==>>First we will calculate amount of water in 65kg body
given 80% of body weight is water
80% of 65kg= 65*(80/100)= 52kg
first find number of moles by dividing 1kg by molar mass
1000/18=55.56 moles per kg
Now to calculate molecules multiply it by Avagadro number we get
55.56*6.023*1023 =3.344*1025
This is number of molecules in 1kg of water
Now multiply it by 52kg we get
3.344*1025 * 52 = 173.89*1025 molecules
