Step 1:
I'll solve this problem step by step, following the specified LaTeX formatting guidelines:

Step 2:
: Calculate the number of moles of C^3H^8

- $$M$$ = molar mass of C3H8 (44.09 g/mol)
• Where:

Step 3:
: Perform the mole calculation

• Rounding to three significant digits: $$n = 0.114 \mathrm{~mol}
n = 0.1136 \mathrm{~mol}

Step 4:
: Calculate the number of C atoms

• $$\mathrm{C~atoms} = 2.06 \times 10^{23} \mathrm{~atoms}
• Each molecule of C^3H^8 contains 3 carbon atoms • Number of C atoms = (moles) × (atoms per molecule) × (Avogadro's number)

Final Answer

A) 0.114 \mathrm{~mol} B) 2.06 \times 10^{23} \mathrm{~atoms}
