Avogadro’s [ENDORSED]

[Ainsley DeMuth 1H]

Hello,
When you are converting grams to atoms, one of the steps includes multiplying by avogadro’s constant. However, when you are also converting from grams to molecules, you follow these same steps (one of which is multiplying by avogadro’s constant). Can someone explain as to how the same process is used to find both atoms and/or molecules from grams? It seems the process is first converting grams to moles by using the molar mass and then converting to atoms/molecules by using avogadro’s.

Avogadro’s constant refers to the number of “objects” per mole. So you multiply by Avogadro’s constant when converting from grams to atoms or grams to molecules because they are both amounts that can be expressed in moles, which is what Avogadro’s constant converts a value to. This constant is used to find either the number of atoms, molecules, or ions in a sample.

Avogadro's number isn't specific to atoms. It's just the number of objects in a mole of that thing.
