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:

0.24 g (1 mol / 342.3 g) (6.022 x 10^23 molecules / 1 mol) = 4.222 x 10^20 molecules
