Mole Day Project
Celebrated annually on October 23 from 6:02 a.m. to 6:02 p.m., Mole Day commemorates
Avogadro's Number (6.02 x 10^23), which is a basic measuring unit in chemistry.
For a given molecule, one mole is a mass (in grams) whose number is equal to the atomic mass
of the molecule. For example, the water molecule has an atomic mass of 18 amu, therefore
one mole of water weighs 18 grams. This was first discovered by Amedeo Avogadro (17761858) and he received credit for this after his death.
