Answer:

A mol (approximately)represents the number 6.02 X 10^^23. Mols become useful when we learn that, for any element on the periodic table, 6.02 X 10^^23 atoms of that element have a mass equal to the atomic mass in grams. So, on the periodic table carbon has an atomic mass of 12.011. That means: 12.011 grams of carbon is made up of 6.02 X 10^^23 atoms.

The above question is tricky.

If the question considers 1 molecule of SO2 as a particle, then the answer is 1.80 * 6.02 X 10^^23

If the question considers the S as one particle, and the O2 as 2 more particles, then the answer is: 3 * 1.8 * 6.02 X 10^^23.

Step-by-step explanation:
