    Mass H2O = 9.01 grams

    Mass He = 8.0 grams

    The mass per mol of water is more than the mass per mol of helium.

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Data given

    Molar mass water = 18.02 g/mol

    Molar mass of helium = 4.0 g/mol

    Number of moles H2O = 0.5 moles

    Number of moles He = 2.0 moles

    Step 2: Calculate mass

    Mass = moles * molar mass

    Mass H2O = 0.5 moles * 18.02 g/mol

    Mass H2O = 9.01 grams

    Mass He = 2.0 moles * 4.0 g/mol

    Mass He = 8.0 grams

    The mass per mol of water is more than the mass per mol of helium.
