  2. Avogadro constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avogadro_constant

    The Avogadro constant, commonly denoted NA [1] or L, [2] is an SI defining constant with an exact value of 6.022 140 76 × 1023 mol−1 ( reciprocal moles ). [3] [4] It is defined as the number of constituent particles (usually molecules, atoms, or ions) per mole ( SI unit) and used as a normalization factor in the amount of substance in a sample.

  3. Mole (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mole_(unit)

    The mole (symbol mol) is a unit of measurement, the base unit in the International System of Units (SI) for amount of substance, a quantity proportional to the number of elementary entities of a substance. One mole contains exactly 6.022 140 76 × 1023 elementary entities (approximately 602 sextillion or 602 billion times a trillion), which can ...

  4. Amount of substance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amount_of_substance

    The unit of amount of substance in the International System of Units is the mole (symbol: mol), a base unit. [1] Since 2019, the value of the Avogadro constant NA is defined to be exactly 6.02214076×1023mol−1. Sometimes, the amount of substance is referred to as the chemical amount or, informally, as the " number of moles " in a given sample ...

  5. Avogadro's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avogadro's_Law

    A modern statement is: Avogadro's law states that "equal volumes of all gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules ." [1] For a given mass of an ideal gas, the volume and amount (moles) of the gas are directly proportional if the temperature and pressure are constant. The law is named after Amedeo Avogadro ...

    Amedeo Avogadro was born in Turin to a noble family of the Kingdom of Sardinia (now part of Italy) in the year 1776. He graduated in ecclesiastical law at the late age of 20 and began to practice. Soon after, he dedicated himself to physics and mathematics (then called positive philosophy ), [6] and in 1809 started teaching them at a liceo ...
