PART 1
We are asked to determine how many atoms are there per cubic centimeter of Cr given the density.
We basically need to convert g → atoms.
When doing unit conversions:
▪ Put units you need to cancel out on opposite places (if it’s in the numerator then put the conversion factor with the same unit in the denominator)
▪ always raise the units to the necessary number especially when dealing with volume, area, etc.
