Avogadro's number represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. This number can be used to convert the number of atoms or molecules into number of moles. We do as follows:

10 mol NH3 ( 6.022 x 10^23 molecules / 1 mol ) = 6.022x10^24 molecules NH3
