SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the calculation of molar mass using Avogadro's number, specifically addressing a miscalculation involving the value of Avogadro's number. The correct value is 6.022 x 1023 mol-1, not 6.022 x 10-23 mol-1. The erroneous calculation led to an incorrect result of 3.545 x 10-46 g·mol-1 instead of the correct 35.45 g·mol-1.
