2mol, 4mol, and 2mol of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms respectively.

Explanation:

And had the question asked how many C,H,O atoms in a dozen such molecules, I think you would have been able to answer 24, 48, and 24 atoms respectively.

And the mole is simply a (much) larger number, 6.022×1023mol1, where 1 mole of C specifies a mass of 12.01g. Capisce?
