Answer:

130.1 x 10²³ molecules of sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

One dozen = 12 donuts

1 doughnut = 1.8 moles of sugar

12 doughnut = (1.8 x 12) moles of sugar = 21.6 moles of sugar

1 mole of any substance contains Avogadro’s number (6.023 x 10²³) of molecules.

1 mole of sugar = 6.023 x 10²³ molecules of sugar

21.6 moles of sugar = (6.023 x 10²³ x 21.6) molecules of sugar

= 130.1 x 10²³ molecules of sugar
