When we talk about the gram weight of any food item, it may or may not include the gram weight of its different nutrient molecules. It may have different reasons to it. One of the reasons can be because the nutrient molecule might contain a large percentage or proportion of water. Also, the nutrient molecules might be insoluble or indigestible fiber so it does not add up to the total gram weight of food.

How many atoms are in 5 grams of H2O?
mojhsa [17]

Hello!

We know that by the Law of Avogrado, for each mole of substance we have 6.02 * 10²³ atoms, if:

The molar mass of water (H2O)

H = 2 * (1u) = 2u

O = 1 * (16u) = 16u

---------------------------

The molar mass of H2O = 2 + 16 = 18 g / mol

If:

1 mol we have 6.02 * 10²³ atoms

1 mole of H2O we have 18 g

Then we have:

18 g ------------- 6.02 * 10²³ atoms

5 g -------------- x

\dfrac{18}{5} = \dfrac{6.02*10^{23}}{x}

18*x = 5*6.02*10^{23}

18\:x = 3.01*10^{24}

x = \dfrac{3.01*10^{24}}{18}

\boxed{\boxed{x \approx 1.672*10^{23}\:atoms}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark

I Hope this helps, greetings ... DexteR! =)
