4.07xx10^2" mol of S"4.07×102 mol of S

Explanation:

The factor label method of converting units begins with writing the given quantity as the numerator of a fraction whose denominator is 1.

Given:

(2.45 xx 10^26" atoms of S")/12.45×1026 atoms of S1

Multiply by the reciprocal of the Avogadro Constant so that units of atoms of Sulfur are cancelled:

(2.45 xx 10^26" atoms of S")/1(1" mol of S")/(6.02xx10^23" atoms of S")2.45×1026 atoms of S11 mol of S6.02×1023 atoms of S

Please observe the cancellation:

(2.45 xx 10^26cancel" atoms of S")/1(1" mol of S")/(6.02xx10^23cancel" atoms of S")

This leave us with only the units of moles of Sulfur:

(2.45xx10^26)/(6.02xx10^23)" mol of S"

4.07xx10^2" mol of S"
