Approx. $1xx10^22*"carbon atoms"$ .

We got $5.85*g$ of $CBr_4$ .

This represents a molar quantity of .................

$(5.85*g)/(331.63*g*mol^-1)=0.0176*mol$

And of course in such a molar quantity, there are $4xx0.0176*mol$ of bromine, and $1xx0.0176*mol$ of carbon. Are you with me?

And so we take the product of the molar quantity and Avogadro's number, to get.......

$0.0176*molxx6.022xx10^23*mol^-1=1.06xx10^22$ individual carbon atoms.....
