The mass of any molecule is equal to the sum of the Atomic Mass Units of all of its constituent atoms. Atomic Mass Unit values may be found on any Periodic Table. In this case, a water molecule consists of two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom. Hydrogen has a mass of approximately 1 AMU. Oxygen has a mass of approximately 16 AMU. Therefore, the mass of one molecule of water is approximately 18 AMU (or 18.01528 AMU exactly). What does this number mean? If you had exactly 6.022 x 10^23 molecules of water, it would weigh 18 grams.

If the mass of water is 4.5 times greater than the mass of helium how does the mass of a water molecule compare with the mass of a helium atom?

The mass of the water molecules is greater than the mass of the helium atoms. It just so happens I had the same question in science, and that's what I put down. It might be wrong, it might not. But I'd be at least at like 65-35% chance it's right.
