One mole of anything is 6.022 x 1023 everythings, including molecules. To determine the number of molecules in a given number of moles, multiply the moles by 6.022 x 1023. The chemical formula of sucrose is C12H22O11.2.5 mol C12H22O11 x (6.022 x 1023 molecules C12H22O11 )/(1 mol C12H22O11 ) = 1.5 x 1024 molecules C12H22O11 (rounded to two significant figures)
