How would the volume of an 18*g18g mass of water change if its temperature changed by over 100100 ""^@CC?

Well, there is a PHASE CHANGE associated with your question......

Explanation:

18*g18g clearly constitutes a mole of water. However, the water can be condensed or in the gaseous phase. Water is quite involatile, and 18*g18g of ice or water indeed contains a molar quantity of OH_2OH2 molecules, i.e. 2xxN_A2×NA HH atoms, and N_ANA OO atoms; 18*g18g in total.

At normal pressures, if we heat the water up over 100100 ""^@CC, a phase change occurs, and the water enters the gaseous phase. And 18*g18g of GASEOUS water would indeed occupy 22.4*L22.4L....of course the temperature of the gas phase would also change the volume.
