The Mole Avogadro says, "Moles are our friends"

Mole Calculations Require Dimensional Analysis

 
A Mole is:

  • 6.02 x 1023 of anything.
  • The formula mass in grams of a substance contains one mole of particles.
  • Na = Avogadro's Number = 6.02 x 1023
How BIG is a mole?

Spreading a "mole" of marbles over the entire surface of the earth would produce a layer about three miles thick.

When will the World's computers have a mole of digital data stored in them?
