Explanation:

Step 1: Define

3.25 × 10²⁴ molecules N₂O₅

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Avogadro's Number

Step 3: Convert

1. Set up:                               $\displaystyle 3.25 \cdot 10^{24} \ molecules \ N_2O_5(\frac{1 \ mol \ N_2O_5}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ N_2O_5})$
2. Multiply:                                                                                                           $5.39688 \ mol \ N_2O_5$

Step 4: Check

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

5.39688 mol N₂O₅ ≈ 5.40 mol N₂O₅
