Solution

The correct option is A 2.98×1023cm3
The density of water is approximately 1g/ml.
Thus, 1g of water occupy volume = 1 ml
The molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

​Number of moles of water in 1g = 118 moles = 0.055 moles H2O

​Now 18 g water contain = 6.022 × 1023 moleculesH2O

Thus 1 g water will have =6.022×102318 molecules H2O = 0.334 × 1023 molecules H2O

This shows that
0.334 ×1023 molecules H2O will occupy volume = 1 ml

Therefore volume occupied by 1 H2O molecule =10.334×1023=2.99× 1023 ml

Thus volume occupied by 1 H2O mlecule is ​2.99 ​ × 1023 ml.

Hence, the correct option is A
