How do you decrease the number of molecules in a glass of water without changing the number of water molecules?

If the water is impure, you could remove the impurities. If the water is pure, it's impossible to decrease the number of molecules without changing the number of water molecules, which would be the only kind of molecules present in that case.


How do you calculate molecules to moles?

Multiply the number of molecules by the number of molecules per mole for that particular element or molecule (sum of the molecules/mole of each element in the molecule). The number of molecules per mole for any element can be found on charts and on the periodic table.
