To calculate the number of atoms in 2 moles of aluminum, it is necessary to use the Avogrado constant.

Avogadro's constant is the number of elementary entities contained in 1 mol whose value is 6.02 x 10^23 mol^-1.

So you can just use the rule of three to find the answer:

1.00 mol of aluminum ------ 6.02 x 10^23 mol^-1 atoms of aluminum

2.00 moles of aluminum ----- x atoms of aluminum

x = 2.00 x 6.02 x 10^23

x = 1.20 x 10^24

Answer: There are 1.20 x 10^24 atoms of aluminum
