To convert between atoms and moles we use something called Avogadro's constant, which basically acts as the definition of a mole.

More specifically, in order to have one mole of an element you need 6.022⋅1023 atoms of that element. You can thus use this number as a conversion factor to take you from atoms to moles or vice versa.

In your case, you will have
