Happy Mole Day! 🤓

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 10²³), 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 molar mass of the molecule. For example, the water molecule has an molar mass of 18, therefore one mole of water weighs 18 grams. Similarly, a mole of neon has a molar mass of 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.

They’re everywhere it’s mole season!

They were whacking them with traps at the local park a few ago filling up a cart full of them

Amadeo actually looks like a Mole, or something that lives underground, requiring huge eyes and a small head.

A mole of moles would weigh 5.119923876375E+19 Tonnes.

Mass of Earth is 5.972E+21 Tonnes

As this was named after some white guy it is inherently racist. The number itself promotes systemic racism and oppresses people of color and gender non-binary self representation.

This value should be condemned and a new value selected. I propose Junteenth, this will allow proper representation and a culturally relevant inclusivity.

Moles have torn up our front yard.

Mole is also a Mexican peanut sauce.
