From the balanced reaction, 2 moles of H2O is formed for every 6 moles of HNO3 that reacts. The mole ratio of H2O to HNO3 is 2:6. Use this ratio to setup your stoichiometry conversion.
4.4 mol HNO3 x (2 mol H2O / 6 mol HNO3) = 1.5 mol H2O
Convert mol H2O of g of H2O using its MW (18 g/mol).
1.5 mol H2O x (18 g H2O / 1 mol H2O) = 27.0 g H2O (rounded to the nearest tenth)
