1. Determine the number of atoms per molecule:
* SO3 has 1 sulfur (S) atom and 3 oxygen (O) atoms, for a total of 4 atoms per molecule.
2. Use Avogadro's number:
* Avogadro's number states that there are 6.022 x 10^23 particles (atoms, molecules, etc.) in one mole of a substance.
3. Calculate the total number of atoms:
* Step 1: Multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's number to find the number of molecules: 2.00 moles * 6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mole = 1.2044 x 10^24 molecules
* Step 2: Multiply the number of molecules by the number of atoms per molecule: 1.2044 x 10^24 molecules * 4 atoms/molecule = 4.8176 x 10^24 atoms
Therefore, there are approximately 4.82 x 10^24 atoms in 2.00 moles of SO3.
