Partying starts at 6:02!

This is from Avagodro's number: 6.02x10^23.

This and Pi day (March 14th) are the only english holidays I celebrate. Smile

LOOK WHAT I FOUND!!!!!!!!!! 8)

What is Mole Day?
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. Mole Day was created as a way to foster interest in chemistry. Schools throughout the United States and around the world celebrate Mole Day with various activities related to chemistry and/or moles.
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, therefore one mole of water weighs 18 grams. An atom of neon has an atomic mass of 20, therefore one mole of neon weighs 20 grams. In general, one mole of any substance contains Avogadro's Number of molecules or atoms of that substance. This relationship was first discovered by Amedeo Avogadro (1776-1858) and he received credit for this after his death.

(well that makes it all as clear as mud huh supermom?)

well now that I know you're in college and taking chemistry that's much clearer. sure sounded like a total nonsequitur for a while. (Guess they must have invented mole day after I graduated--never heard of it before!)
