According to the definition of the mole of a substance, one mole of water contains Avogadro's number of water molecules : 6.02214076 × 1023 mol-1. The number of the moles of water in 0.045 g of water can be calculated using its molar mass, 18.02 g/mol:

n=mM=0.04518.02=0.002497n = \frac{m}{M} = \frac{0.045}{18.02} = 0.002497 mol.

Therefore, the number of water molecules is:

N=nNA=0.0024976.022140761023N = n·N_A = 0.002497·6.02214076·10^{23}

N=1.5041021N = 1.504·10^{21} .

Answer: In on drop of water whose mass is 0.045 g , there are 1.504 × 1021 molecules of water.
