Moles are the hinge
Here is the map of this whole chapter, and it is worth memorising as a picture: grams ⇄ moles ⇄ particles. Grams cross to moles through ; moles cross to particles through . There is no direct road from grams to particles — none — so every such question is a two-step, and moles are the hinge every chemistry chain swings on.
Going right you divide by , then multiply by . Coming back you divide by , then multiply by . Write hop one's answer down before starting hop two: a chain question grades the CHAIN, and a slip in the first line walks all the way to the last. And keep the magnitude habit alive — if your particle count comes back looking like an ordinary number, you divided where you should have multiplied.
