Explanation:

Step 1: Define

[Given] 2.56 moles He

[Solve] atoms He

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Avogadro's Number

Step 3: Convert

1. [DA] Set up:                                                                                                      $\displaystyle 2.56 \ mol \ He(\frac{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ atoms \ He}{1 \ mol \ He})$
2. [DA] Multiply [Cancel out units]:                                                                     $\displaystyle 1.54163 \cdot 10^{24} \ atoms \ He$

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.

1.54163 × 10²⁴ atoms He ≈ 1.54 × 10²⁴ atoms He
