Final answer:

Using the concept of moles, typically applied in chemistry, the number of dogs in 3.32×10⁻²⁴ moles would theoretically be calculated by multiplying by Avogadro's number. However, this results in a non-integer number of dogs, which is not physically meaningful, hence the count of dogs would be 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculating Number of Dogs in a Mole

In chemistry, the mole (mol) is used as a unit of measurement for the amount of substance. It is equivalent to Avogadro's number, which is 6.02214076 × 10²³ particles per mole. To calculate the number of dogs in 3.32×10⁻²⁴ moles of dogs, you would multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's number:

Number of dogs = 3.32×10⁻²⁴ moles × 6.022×10²³ particles/mole

However, since the number of moles is extremely small (3.32×10⁻²⁴), the calculation results in a fraction much less than one, which is not physically meaningful when counting whole dogs. Thus, we cannot have a fraction of a dog, so the actual count would be 0 dogs.
