A camper burning a piece of paper to start a campfire is a chemical change - the way you can think of this is to consider the fact that the paper cannot be put back together and has become ash, so this is therefore a chemical change. The carbon in the paper is oxidized into other chemical including carbon dioxide. Mass was conserved during this reaction because the mass is still the same, just in a different form.

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{90 g}}$

Explanation:

$\text{M$_{r}$ of H$_{2}$O} = 18.02\\\text{Mass} = \text{5 mol} \times \dfrac{\text{18.02 g}}{\text{1 mol}} = \text{90 g}\\\\\rm \text{There are $\large \boxed{\textbf{90 g}}$ in 5 mol of water.}$
