How big is a mole?

1 Answer

Nov 23, 2015

$6.022 \times 10^{23}$ $6.022xx10^23$

Explanation:

A mole of anything is just a way of expressing how many of something there are.

If I were referring to a mole of ballerina dancers, I would be talking about $6.022 \times 10^{23}$ $6.022xx10^23$ ballerina dancers.

The reason a mole is $6.022 \times 10^{23}$ $6.022xx10^23$ is because one mole of hydrogen atoms weighs about $1$ $1$ gram.
