Q:

What does one mole of H2O correspond to

A) 16 gms B) 18 gms
C) 20 gms D) 22 gms
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 18 gms

Explanation:

The molar mass of H2O can be calculated as the following.

M(H2O)= [2 x M(H)] + [M(O)].

And we know that M(H) = 1g/mol, M(O) = 16g/mol.

So, M(H2O)= 2x1 + 16 = 18g/mol,

That means 1 mole of H2O contains 18g.

 

Hence, one mole of H2O corresponds to 18 grams.
