3.22×10^24 molecules H_2O

Explanation:

Avogadro's number states that every mole has
6.022⋅10^23 atoms (or molecules, depending on the substance).

So to figure this out you have to assume that 1 mol H_2O = 6.022×10^23

So set up a conversion.

5.35mol H_2O (6.022×10^23 molecules / 1 mol)
1 Mol cancels out with mol H_2O.

5.35×6.022×10^23=3.22×10^24 molecules of H_2O
