Avogadros Number
The only thing I remember from high school chemistry is Avogadro’s number.
The name “Avogadro’s Number” is just an honorary name attached to the calculated value of the number of atoms, molecules, etc. in a gram mole of any chemical substance. Of course if we used some other mass unit for the mole such as “pound mole”, the “number” would be different than 6.022 x 1023
Mmmmm…. homework. Brings back the good old days.
Thanks for posting the portrait of good ol’ Amadeo. Nice to attach a face to the name.
It’s clear from his picture that he was a ladies’ man. He’s got it all going on: flat head, beak nose, bug eye and shoulders that slope enough to get a black diamond rating at a ski resort.
I bet his colorstrology color is lavendula.
Oh, he’s a real looker all right. He knows that chicks dig mutton chop sideburns.
6.022 x 10^23 (?)
On October 23rd at 6:02 in the morning, I took my daughter to have her picture taken by a clock at a local shopping center… 5 extra credit points for Chemistry!
Wow…I forgot I knew Avogadro’s number! After I saw it the whole thing just POPPED back.
Thanks, I needed that!
