There are 5.4181024 atoms in 3 moles of Carbon Dioxide

Explanation:

1 Mole is 6.021023 molecules

Therefore 3 Moles of Carbon Dioxide CO2 =3(6.021023) or 18.061023 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)18.061023 molecules =54.181023 atoms

or

5.4181024 atoms
