1 mole = 6.22 x 10^23 molecules (Avogadro's number)
15 moles x (6.22 x 10^23) = 9.33 x 10^24 atoms

Answer:
813.1* 10^(23) atoms.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to the molecular mass and contains avogadro's number
6.023* 10^(23) of particles.

1 molecule of
C_2H_6O contains = 9 atoms

1 mole of
C_2H_6O contains =
9 * 6.023* 10^(23)=54.21* 10^(23) atoms

Thus 15 moles
C_2H_6O contains =
(54.21* 10^(23))/(1)* 15=813.1* 10^(23) atoms.

Thus the answer is
813.1* 10^(23) atoms.
