Answer:

8.098 x 10²² molecules

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Calculate the moles of the compound.

C3H6 = (3 x 12) + (6 x 1) = 42

5.65 ÷ 42 = 0.1345

2. Multiply.

In order to find the number of molecules in the sample, we must multiply the number moles of the compound with the avogadro's constant.

0.1345 x 6.02 x 10²³

= 8.098 x 10²²
