There are 5.418⋅1024 atoms in 3 moles of Carbon Dioxide

Explanation:

1 Mole is 6.02⋅1023 molecules

Therefore 3 Moles of Carbon Dioxide CO2 =3(6.02⋅1023) or 18.06⋅1023 molecules of CO2

There is one atom of Carbon and two atoms of Oxygen in each molecule of Carbon Dioxide CO2

Therefore there are three atoms in each molecule.

(3 atoms)18.06⋅1023 molecules =54.18⋅1023 atoms

or

5.418⋅1024 atoms
