Happy Mole Day!

I started this on an existing thread, but I decided that it needed it’s own thread.
So, without looking it up, what is Avogadro’s number? Two sig figs is sufficient.
The first correct reply gets bonus points.

Ed Fred is the winner! Good going Ed!

[EdFred]

Well with me its usually over before they know it.

Wait, what??

6.02 x 10^23?
(Genuinely from memory... did not look up...)

Yep, that's correct.

I got another paper published!

Too bad they posted it a day early.

Very cool! I've run so very, very many TLC plates in my day. Must be thousands. Prep TLC, too. Getting my hands on a Chromatatron in my first industrial job was a huge step forward.

Since we've covered Avogadro's number, I should note that Avocado's number is the number of avocados in a guacamole.

You were early, you were supposed to post this at 6.02.

Thanks! Ironically, for flash chromatography, I've come up with a way to determine the solvent composition to elute the desired compound without TLC.

Actually he was late. 6.02 would have been before sunrise, and he posted in the 1700 hour (eastern)

I was expecting something about a sauce containing chiles and chocolates...

 

[FormerHangie]

Yeah, maybe. I thought that but, 6.02 is not as significant as 10^23. October 23.

At 6:02 on 10/23. EdFred says it should be 6:02 AM, I'd go at 6:02 PM because if I'm at the computer at that time of day it's because I'm working.
