ib chemistry stoichiometry question

I have had a go at this question but think my answer is wrong- would be grateful if anyone could answer it:

Calculate the amount of sulfuric acid, H2SO4, which contains 6.02 × 10^23 atoms of oxygen.
"amount" is a bit vague, you need 1/4 a mol of H2SO4 but id imagine the rest of the q mentions concentration/volume

You should put your working so far, so the study helpers can see what you've done and advise you on whether you've made a mistake or where to go next.

They won't do your homework for you.

I actually worked it out myself.

((6.02 x 10^23) / 4 ) / (6.02 x 10^23) = 0.25 mol H2SO4

The word "amount" is a reserved term in chemistry meaning the number of moles.
