Celebrate International Mole Day!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Yep, we’re coming up on International Mole Day! Mole Day will be celebrated on October 23rd, from 6:02 am to 6:02 pm. (The reasons for that will become clear in a moment.) This day honors Amadeo Avogadro and his constant, 6.022 x 10^23. The Mole is a specific measure of atoms, such that there are 6.022 x 10^23 atoms in a mole.

As a Chemistry student, I am celebrating on Friday the 22nd. I have to make a mole (a small, furry stuffed creature) for a test grade, and I’m also making Chicken Molé (get it? Haha!) for 3 assignment grades - this will raise my final grade 6 points (for example, go from a 91 to a 97) .

So… what are YOU doing for Mole Day?

Supposedly you can fit avagadros number on a licence plate somehow, how would you show an exponent?

I have somewhat less tha Avagadro’s number of moles in my back yard.

Sanibel, do you by any chance have a chem. teacher named Muller?

Nope. My chem teacher is Lewton.
Why?

Does playing Whack-A-Mole count, or is that considered blasphemous?

Isaac Asimov once said that there are two ways to identify a chemist:

  1. Have him pronounce “unionized”

  2. Ask him, “Define a mole.”

(Be sure to shut him up after the first half hour.)

I plan to dedicate the nasty, black hair that grows out of my mole to chemists around the world.

Please, don’t thank me. It’s my pleasure.

Well, I plan to make guaca-mole, using 6.022 “avocadros”…

Modest? You bet I’m modest! I am the queen of modesty!
