Step 1

Avogadro's number states that:

1 mole of C3H8 = 44.11 g of C3H8 = 6.02x10^23 formula units (molecules in this case)

---------

Step 2

Information provided:

2.37 g C3H8

The molar mass = 44.11 g/mol

---------

Step 3

Procedure:

44.11 g C3H8 ---------- 6.02x10^23 molecules of C3H8

2.37 g C3H8 ---------- X

X = 2.37 g C3H8 x 6.02x10^23 molecules of C3H8/44.11 g C3H8

X = 3.23x10^22 molecules of C3H8

Answer: Please, revise your options because I cannot find any mistake in my procedure. (Ask your teacher, please)

I found 3.23x10^22 molecules of C3H8 but there is no option alike.
