Question

How many water molecules are present in 1.8kg of ordinary water

Answer 1

The simplest way is to know two things about the object: (1) its chemical composition and (2) its mass. This is the sort of calculation you will learn to do in high school chemistry. As an example, let's say we have a very tiny drop of water, say 1 microliter, which would have a mass of 0.001 grams. The chemical formula for water is H2O which means that every molecule of water has 2 atoms of hydrogen (H) and one atom of oxygen (O). Here comes the key part. From the Periodic Table of Elements, one sees that one mole of hydrogen atoms weighs 1 gram while one mole of oxygen atoms weighs 16 grams. What is this mole thing? A mole is a convenient counting unit whenever one is dealing with numbers of atoms or molecules. It is equal to Avogadro's number (NA), namely 6.022 x1023. If we have one mole of water, then we know that it will have a mass of 2 grams (for 2 moles of H atoms) + 16 grams (for one mole O atom) = 18 grams. Since we only have 0.001 grams, that means that we have NA * (0.001/18) = 3.35*1019 molecules of water! This is a huge number, even though we only started with a tiny amount of water.

Answer 2

Answer:

6.023 × 10²⁵ water molecules are present in 1.8 kg of ordinary water.

Explanation:

What is the concept of a mole?

• A mole is basically a measurement unit, which is defined as the amount of substance which contains as many 'entities' (particles/atoms/molecules) as there are atoms in 0.012 kg of Carbon (C₁₂) isotope.
• According to Avogadro's concept, a mole contains 6.023 × 10²³ particles/atoms/molecules.
• Mathematically,
  $Mole = \frac{weight}{molecular wt.}$

Calculation:

1 mole of water = 18 gm of water, and,

1.8 kg of water = 1800 gm of water

∵ 18 gm of water = 1 mole of water
∴ 1 gm of water = (1/18) moles of water
∴ 1800 gm of water = [(1/18) × 1800] = 100 moles of water

Now,

1 mole = 6.023 × 10²³ molecules
∴ 100 moles = 6.023 × 10²³ × 100
                     = 6.023 × 10²⁵ molecules
