If the density of water is 1 g /cm-3 , then the volume occupied by one molecule approximately 2.9×10-23 cm-3.
Density of water = 1 g /cm-3
Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol
The Molar volume is directly proportional to molar mass and inversely proportional to density. The formula of the molar volume is expressed as
Molar volume (Vm) =Molar massDensity
                                 1818 g/mol1 g /cm-3
                                 18 cm3/mol.
Volume of 1 water molecule is equal to Vm/NA.
NA is the Avogadro number.
Water molecules have a volume of 18/(6.022×10-23)
Volume of a single water molecule = 2.9×10-23 cm-3
                                                     =3×10-23cm-3.
