Given:
Moles of water : 2.64 mol
Mass of 1 mole of water = 18 g/mol
Mole is the measurement of particles an element contain which is the same with Avogadro's number denoted as
6.02 x 10^23
Examples: The number of particles found in 18.00 grams of water is equal to 1 mol, which is 6.02 x 10^23 atoms.
In order to get the mass of water, we simply add the mass of 2 mol of Hydrogen, and 1 mol of Oxygen, since water contain 2 moles of hydrogen and 1 mole of oxygen.
1 mole of hydrogen = 1 gram
2 moles of hydrogen = 2 grams
1 mole of oxygen = 16 grams
Molar Mass of Water = Mass of Oxygen + (2) Mass of Hydrogen
Molar Mass of Water = 16 grams + 2 grams
Molar Mass of Water = 18 grams
Solution:
Multiply the given moles of water to the mass of 1 mole of water.
= (2.64 mol)(18 g/mol)
Noticed that the unit mol cancels, leaving behind gram.
= 47.52 g
2.64 moles of water is equal to 47.52 grams
