Answer: D
Solution.
The average mass of one mole of H_{2}O is 18.02 grams.
The molecular weight of water is 18 g/mol. Hence, one mole of water weighs 18 g. 

One mole of water contains 6.023 \times 10^{23} water molecules.

2 moles of H_{2}O is 36 g (2 \times 18 g) and 20 moles of water is 360g (20 \times 18 g). The mass of 6.022 \times 10^{23} molecules of water is 18g.

Therefore, the mass of 1.2044\times10^{25} molecules (= 20 \times 6.022 \times10^{23} molecules) of water is 20 \times 18g = 360g.
