Scientific Notation and Molar Conversions

Mr. Johnston introduces multi-step conversions, focusing on converting particles to volume using moles as an intermediary. He explains the relationships between moles, particles, and liters, and sets up a problem involving bromine particles. The video guides viewers through the logic path, filling in the math path, and performing calculations using a scientific calculator. The process emphasizes the importance of understanding scientific notation and calculator functions to achieve accurate results.
