Answer:

a.) 6.06 x 10⁻¹ mol

b.) 4.35 x 10⁻⁴ mol

Explanation:

To find the final answer, you need to use Avogadro's number to convert between molecules and moles. Remember to arrange the ratio/conversion in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The answer should have 3 sig figs because the given values also have 3 sig figs.

Avogadro's Number:

6.022 x 10²³ molecules = 1 mole

a.)

3.65 x 10²³ molecules                     1 mole
---------------------------------  x  ------------------------------------  = 6.06 x 10⁻¹ mol
                                             6.022 x 10²³ molecules

b.)

2.62 x 10²⁰ molecules                       1 mole
--------------------------------  x  ---------------------------------------  = 4.35 x 10⁻⁴ mol
                                             6.022 x 10²³ molecules
