    Remember the Avogadro Number ( 6.022 x 10^(23)) is the number of atoms/molecules in ONE mole of an element/compound.

    For O3( Ozone) 1.0 x 10^25 / 6.022 x 10^(23) = 16.065 moles.

    moles = mass(g) / Mr

    mass(g) = moles X Mr

    mass(O3) = 16.065 / 48 = 0.35 g(grams) ( 2.s.f.)

    CCl2F2 (di-chloro-di-fluoro methane)

    Moles = 3.11 x 10^19 / 6.022 x 10^23 = 5.164 x 10^-5 = ( 0.00005164) moles.

    mass(CCl2F2) = 0.00005164 X (12 + (2 x 35.5) + (2 x 19))

    mass(CCl2F2) = 0.00005164 X 121 = 6.25 x 10^-3 g (3 s.f.)

    moles(H2O) = 9 / 6.022 x 10^(23) = 1.4945 x 10^-23

    mass(H2O) = 1.4945 x 10^-23 X 18 = 2.690 x 10^(-22) g ( 4 s.f.)
