[@arnoutkroeze4704]

[@AKracecars]

Hey Ted, can we have our baby back? Thanks - everyone on WSB

[@dhk1126]

He didn't mention about the relationship between the mole and the atomic weight. For those who couldn't understand why it's 6.02*10^23, let me tell you. Chemists made a so-called atomic weight. They decided that the atomic weight of a single Carbon atom, which has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, would be '12', and the rest of the atoms' weight would be decided by the relative weight of the Carbon. The atomic weight is pretty neat; almost every atom has a integer weight except a few (of course they are not perfect integers. They are very close to the integers, like 26.982; the atomic weight of the aluminium). If you take 6.02*10^23 numbers of an atom, there will be exactly 'the atomic weight of the atom' grams of the atom. For example, If you take 32 grams of an Oxygen atom, which has 16 atomic weight, there will be 2*6.02*10^23 numbers (=2 moles) of the Oxygen atoms.

[@Shamaate]

If anyone wondering that why that 6.02 * 10^23 is selected or why it is needed, So the answer is that by multiplying with this number to atomic weight of individual atom we get the value which lies in easily calculating ways for studies. Ex. 6.02 * 10^23 H2O molecules weight is 18 u. 6.02 * 10^23 O2 molecules weight is 32 u. So we get our answer in exact numbers, not in fraction and not in thousands or in decimals.

This video wouldn't have enlightened schoolkid-me to the concept or the thought-process behind "a mole" (Why/how Avogadro thought it up, how it is useful/applicable, and why it is significant). The furry-creature, doughnuts, post-mortem dancing and basketball analogies/anecdotes merely detract from the subject-matter.

[@Nereosis16]

+Aditya Mehendale I think it does a good job, I didn't get confused or distracted by the furry-creature or doughnuts, instead it put it in perspective.

[@jednixon883]

+Aditya Mehendale The video isn't dedicated to explaining the mole's reasoning, but rather seeks to get a feel for how large it really is. The mole is significant because it allows us to convert from atomic mass to grams. 1 mole of any atom weighs its atomic mass but in grams. For example carbon's atomic mass is 12.011 atomic mass units. If you had a mole , or 6.02 * 10^23, of carbon atoms, it would weight 12.011 grams. This allows chemists to calculate aproximately how many particles of a substance they have based on the mass.

[@AdityaMehendale]

+Jed Nixon Thanks, I'm sure you mean well, but I was a schoolkid many many *many* years ago. What would have interested me, back then, is not *what* Avogadro's number is, to the 16th digit behind the decimal, but rather *how* Mr. Avogadro (with the limited resources available to him in his time) actually came to determine this number, what thought experiments he must have done to reason this out etc. What bothers me about this video is the presumption that the viewers would want the 'dumbed down' version of the story and the inane factoids about Avogadro's number (just like I would be when someone recites Pi to the 2000th place without having a clue about what Pi stands for). What also bothers me, is that at the daVinci museum in Florence, kids are forbidden to touch and play with (replicas of) daVinci's designs, being asked instead to look at animations on tablets - but that's another discussion ;). Free video on 'teh Interwebs' - can't complain much, right?

Good Morning - Hi friends, today, 23rd, October is a special day for chemists and chemistry teachers across the world. All the digital clocks read (6:02 10 23) two times tomorrow, at 6.02am and at 6.02pm. It looks like Avogadro constant. Hence chemists across the world celebrate 23 October as 'International Mole Day's. Take it to the students and make them aware of it... Details of the day: Celebrated annually on October 23 from 6:02 a.m. to 6:02 p.m., Mole Day commemorates Avogadro's Number (6.02 x 1023), which is a basic measuring unit in chemistry. Mole Day was created as a way to foster interest in chemistry. Schools throughout the United States and around the world celebrate Mole Day with various activities related to chemistry and/or moles. For a given molecule, one mole is a mass (in grams) whose number is equal to the molar mass of the molecule. For example, the water molecule has an molar My mass of 18, therefore one mole of water weighs 18 grams. Similarly, a mole of neon has a molar mass of 20 grams. In general, one mole of any substance contains Avogadro's Number of molecules or atoms of that substance. This relationship was first discovered by Amadeo Avogadro (1776-1858) and he received credit for this after his death. Who all aware of this ??

[@SIMKINETICS]

According to Az tecnology, if the mass is not too hot, & doesn’t dip into chili temperatures, the borderline number of atoms in one guaca-mole can be determined by avacadro’s number.

The atomic weight is how much grams a mol of that atom is (as well as the average atomic mass in the atomic mass unit). E.g. Hydrogen being 1.008 grams/mol of Hydrogen atoms.
