Explanation:

Step 1: Define

[Given] 7.85 × 10²² molecules NH₃

[Solve] moles NH₃

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Avogadro's Number

Step 3: Convert

1. [DA] Set up:                                                                                                      $\displaystyle 7.85 \cdot 10^{22} \ molecules \ NH_3(\frac{1 \ mol \ NH_3}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ NH_3})$
2. [DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]:                                                         $\displaystyle 0.130355 \ moles \ NH_3$

Step 4: Check

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

0.130355 moles NH₃ ≈ 0.130 moles NH₃
