You already know how to do this; it is simply the number of atoms that have that much mass in total. Since we are considering
"5 g N" xx "1 mol"/"14.007 g N" xx (6.022xx10^23 "whatever you want")/("1 mol")
= color(blue)(2.15 xx 10^23) color(blue)("atoms of N")
And if you really think about it, ths number is about 1/3 of a
If you mean the unit "gram atom", then Michael mentioned that it was an obsolete term for the "mol". So, yes, a "gram atom" (a countable quantity) is a "mol", but these days, it can be confused with a certain number of "grams" of an atom (a mass).
