Approx. 5.8xxN_Axx24

Explanation:

N_A specifies "Avogadro's number" -= 6.022xx10^23*mol^-1. And "the mole" this is simply another collective number like a dozen, or a score, or a gross........

And we gots 5.78*mol of glucose.......

And thus the number of atoms is........

5.78xx{6_"carbon atoms"+12_"hydrogen atoms"+6_"oxygen atoms"}xxN_A

138.72xxN_A atoms in total........

Can you tell me the mass of this number of atoms? This is the next question you will be asked.
