Avocado’s Number” in a kitschy reference to a mathematical theory

Kitschy, si. But Avogadro's number is used in a physical theory, not mathematical.

Perhaps the regular size is 602g, and the family size is 1023 g.

Or you could just skip the guac and go for the mole!

4.23 X 10 to the 23rd power
The number of molecules in a mole. — Chemistry
The above is from memory. I haven’t had a chemistry class in over 40 years. So, I may be incorrect?!

Not a theory. It is the number of atoms or molecules in a mole of an element or compound, isn’t it?

Actually, Avogadro’s Number is not a theory at all but a fundamental physical constant. It is the number of atoms or molecules in one mole of any element or compound. The number is 6.02214076 x 10^23. (x 10 to the 23rd power)
