HAPPY CHEMISTRY WEEK! “MOLE DAY” IS
CELEBRATED ANNUALLY ON OCTOBER 23 FROM 6:02AM-6:02PM. MOLE DAY COMMEMORATES
AVOGADRO’S NUMBER 6.02 *10 ^ 23, WHICH IS A BASIC MEASURING UNIT IN CHEMISTRY.
THIS DAY WAS CREATED AS A WAY TO FOSTER INTEREST IN CHEMISTRY. FOR A GIVEN
MOLECULE, ONE MOLE IS A MASS WHOSE NUMBER IS EQUAL TO THE MOLAR MASS OF THE
MOLECULE. ONE MOLE OF ANY SUBSTANCE CONTAINS AVOGADRO’S NUMBER OF MOLECULES OR
ATOMS OF THAT SUBSTANCE. THIS RELATIONSHIP WAS FIRST DISCOVERED BY AMADEO
AVOGADRO AND HE RECEIVED CREDIT FOR THIS AFTER HIS DEATH. IF YOU HAD A MOLE OF
DOLLARS YOU WOULD BE A MOLINNAIRE AND COULD SPEND $100 PER SECOND PER DAY FOR
YOUR WHOLE LIFE AND NOT RUN OUT OF MONEY. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT “MOLE
DAY” IS ALL ABOUT PLEASE COME SEE MRS. BEAU IN E-109!
