Answer:
1.19*10^(24)

Mass of each proton
= 1.67*10^-27 \hspace{1mm} kg

Mass of protons in each bag = 2.0 g

Number of protons in each bag


= \frac{Mass\hspace{1mm} of \hspace{1mm} protons \hspace{1mm} in \hspace{1mm} each \hspace{1mm} bag}{Mass \hspace{1mm} of \hspace{1mm} each \hspace{1mm} proton}\\ =(2*10^-3kg)/(1.67*10^(-27)kg)=1.19*10^(24)
