The question:
How many atoms of hydrogen are there in 560cm^3 of hydrogen at s.t.p.?

My answer:
22,400cm3 at s.t.p. = 1 mole
560cm3 at s.t.p. = 560 รท 22,400 moles
= 0.025 mol-1
1 mole = 6 x 1023 molecules
0.025 moles = 0.025 x 6 x 1023 molecules
= 0.15 x 1023 molecules
2 x 0.15 x 1023 (2 atoms in H2) = 3 x 1022

Is this right? I googled it and someone on another forum said that the answer is  6.02x1023.

That's just Avogadro's number.

Your answer looks (almost) OK. Just be sure you have used correct number of significant digits. (Not that it matters much).
