Answer

There are $7.71 \times 10^{23} molecules$ of $SO_2$ in 1.28 moles of that.

Work Step by Step

1. State the data and objective: $1.28$ moles of $SO_2$ Objective: Number of $SO_2$ molecules. 2. Identify the conversion factor. Using Avogadro's number: 1 mole $SO_2$ $= 6.02 \times 10^{23}$ $SO_2$ $molecules$ $\frac{1 mole (SO_2)}{6.02 \times 10^{23} molecules (SO_2)}$ and $\frac{6.02 \times 10^{23} molecules (SO_2)}{1 mole (SO_2)}$ 3. Use the conversion factor and the data to calculate the number of $SO_2$ molecules: $1.28 mole (SO_2) \times \frac{6.02 \times 10^{23} molecules (SO_2)}{1 mole(SO_2)} = 7.71 \times 10^{23} molecules (SO_2)$
