1. Find the molar mass of H₂O:
* Hydrogen (H) has a molar mass of 1.01 g/mol.
* Oxygen (O) has a molar mass of 16.00 g/mol.
* Since there are two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom in water:
* Molar mass of H₂O = (2 * 1.01 g/mol) + (1 * 16.00 g/mol) = 18.02 g/mol
2. Use the molar mass to convert moles to grams:
* grams = moles * molar mass
* grams = 2.50 moles * 18.02 g/mol
* grams = 45.05 g
Therefore, there are 45.05 grams in 2.50 moles of H₂O.
