Practice Problem: Conversions Using Avogadro's Number

The video tutorial explains how to use Avogadro's number for conversions. It covers two main problems: calculating the number of gold atoms in a 5 kg brick and determining the number of carbon atoms in a 40 mg sample of saccharin. The tutorial guides viewers through the conversion process, including converting mass to moles using molar mass and then to atoms using Avogadro's number. It also provides tips for simplifying calculations and adjusting scientific notation.
