The number of water molecules is maximum in:

A

18 molecules of water18\text{ molecules of water}

B

1.8 g of water1.8\text{ g of water}

C

18 g of water18\text{ g of water}

D

18 moles of water18\text{ moles of water}

Step-by-Step Solution

Let us calculate the number of molecules in each given option using the Avogadro constant (NA=6.022×1023N_A = 6.022 \times 10^{23}):

Option A: It contains exactly 1818 molecules of water.

Option B: Number of moles in 1.8 g1.8\text{ g} of water =MassMolar mass=1.818=0.1 moles= \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} = \frac{1.8}{18} = 0.1\text{ moles}. Number of molecules =0.1×NA= 0.1 \times N_A.

Option C: Number of moles in 18 g18\text{ g} of water =1818=1 mole= \frac{18}{18} = 1\text{ mole}. Number of molecules =1×NA= 1 \times N_A.

Option D: Number of molecules in 18 moles18\text{ moles} of water =18×NA= 18 \times N_A.

Comparing all the values, 18×NA18 \times N_A is the largest. Therefore, 18 moles of water18\text{ moles of water} contains the maximum number of water molecules.
