Step 2

From the top of the image, we can see the expression for moles is six point zero two times ten to the twenty-third, divided by five thousand five hundred and twenty.

$$\text{moles} = \frac{6.02 \times 10^{23}}{5520.2}$$

Step 3

Notice that the Avogadro constant in the numerator is already given in standard form. Now, we perform the division using a calculator.

Step 4

Let's write out the calculation clearly. We have the Avogadro constant divided by the total count. Using a calculator, this division gives us approximately one point zero nine零五七 times ten to the twentieth.

Calculation Step

$$ \text{moles} = \frac{6.02 \times 10^{23}}{5520}$$
$$ \text{moles} \thickapprox 1.0905797 \times 10^{20}$$
