Answer:


1.05x10^(24)atoms

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the definition of the Avogadro's number, it is possible to realize that one molecule of CO2 contains 3 moles of atoms, one of carbon and two of oxygen, thus, we have:


0.580molCO_2*(3mol\ atoms)/(1molCO_2) =1.74mol\ atoms

Then, we use the Avogadro's number to obtain:


1.74mol\ atoms*(6.022x10^(23)atoms)/(1mol\ atoms) \\\\1.05x10^(24)atoms

Best regards!
