Spoiler: look what I made for my chemistry mole project! (click to show/hide)

Wind is not an element, dipshit.

I don't know what a chemistry mole is, but that's awesome.

[Furtuka]

It's a creative assignment to go and make a stuffed mole with a certain theme. Tis a pun, becasue Moles. I was gonna make a Rose, Jade, and Dave but not enough time

I don't know what a chemistry mole is,

6.02x10²³

You're welcome.

More importantly, a mole is the number of atoms required for x grams of a substance of atomic weight x. For example, carbon has an atomic weight of 12.03 amu (1 amu ~= weight of a proton), so one mole of C would weigh 12.03 grams.

No, that's backwards. A mole is 6.02x10²³ atoms. Atomic weight happens to have a perfect quantity-to-mass ratio due to scientists being awesome.

aka scientists using units that work nicely.

I don't think a 6.02*10^23 is a perfect ratio, since a mole is basically defined as the ratio between 1amu and 1 gram.

Wow Darvi, post Avagadro's number why don't you...

[Max White]

In chemistry, a mole is a number, but it is a significant number. Sort of like pi is a number... Except is is a very big number that relates to the atomic mass of a molecule and it's weight.

Yeah, so?

1 mole is defined as the number of atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12.

that's... pretty much exactly what they were saying up there. The atomic mass of a carbon-12 atom is 12 (something), so 6*10^23 carbon-12 atoms weighs 12 grams. To an outside observer this is all starting to look very much like circular logic.

I was responding to this:

because it's not true. (Avagadro's constant is 6.02214129(27) * 10²³ mol^-1 where the (27) represents uncertainty as to the actual value)
