Avogadro's number represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. This number can be used to convert the number of atoms or molecules into number of moles. We do as follows:

2.00 mol C3H8 (6.022 x 10^23 atoms / mole) = 1.204x10^24 atoms C3H8
