Avagadros number states that 1 mol of any substance is made of 6.022 x 10²³ units.

these units could be atoms, molecules or formula units.

therefore 1 mol of Calcium iodide is made of 6.022 x 10²³ formula units

so if 6.022 x 10²³ formula units make up 1 mol

then 1.20 x 10²⁵ formula units - make
(1*1.20*10^(25))/(6.022*10^(23)) = 19.9 mol

there are 19.9 mol of CaI₂ present
