In one mole of stuff there are 6.022×1023 individual items of stuff, or NA items of stuff, where NA = Avogadro's Number,6.022×1023.

Explanation:

Here, your stuff is sulfuric acid. Thus, there are 2×NA individual hydrogen atoms, NA individual sulfur atoms, and 4×NA individual oxygen atoms, in NA sulfuric acid formula units. Here, I have used NA as I would ANY other collective number: half-dozen; dozen; score; century. Of course, Avogadro's number is rather larger than the other numerical terms.

What is the mass of this 1 mol sulfuric acid?
