For those of you who can still remember the Avogadro’s number and even those who don’t, I have a hug question for you. Avogadro stated that; one mole of any gas contains 602,200,000,000,000,000,000,000 molecules, regardless of the chemical nature of the gas. By observation, If you can count 10 million anything per second, it would take you about 2billion years to count all of the atoms in one mole. And according to his law it appears he had counted the number of molecules in different volumes of gases, and he never lived for a billion years and it’s not humanly possible to count 10 million of anything in a second! So how did Avogadro came to this value?
