Okay, so first, let's turn the grams into moles.

1.3 g C / 12.011 g/mol = 0.1082341187 mol C

Next, we need to multiply it by Avogadro's Number for the number of atoms.

0.1082341187 mol C * 6.022*10^23 mol^-1 = 6.51785863*10^22 atoms C

Now we take significant figures into consideration. We started with two, so we need to end it with two.

6.5*10^22 atoms C
