Each water molecule contains exactly 3 atoms, as shown by its chemical formula, H2O. The gram molecular mass of water is 18.01528. Therefore, the number of atoms in 10 g of water is 3 (10/18.01528)(Avogadro's Number), or 1.0 X 1024, to the justified number of significant digits.

To do this, you need to know the molecular weight of the element you're dealing with, by adding up the atomic weights of the elements involved (found on any Periodic Table). The molecular weight is the mass in grams of the compound in one mole - this will provide you with a conversion factor. So take the measurement in grams and divide it by the molecular weight to convert to moles. Really what you're doing is multiplying the number by 1 mole, and dividing it by the equivalent of one mole, the molecular weight. That's the thought process behind unit analysis and how you get your "units to cancel".
In this case, the answer is about .0611 moles water.
10 grams nitrogen (1 mole N/14.01 grams)(6.022 X 1023/1 mole N) = 4.3 X 1023 atoms of nitrogen ======================
Water
A molecule of of water contain 3 atoms.
Inder to find this out, you divide the numbers of grams you have by the amount of grams it takes to make one mole of that element (6.022 x 10^23) and then multiply by Avigadros number (6.022 x 10^23). That should tell you how many atoms are in the amount of grams you have. See, Avigadros number is the amount of atoms in one mole of every element, so you can use that to figure out about how many atoms are in any given element.
q = mC∆T214 cal = (10g)(1cal/g/deg)(∆T)∆T = 214 cal/(10g)(1cal/g/deg) = 21.4 degreesSo, the temperature of the water will increase by 21.4 degrees
