AI Thread Summary
Avogadro's number, 6.022 x 10^23, is crucial for converting grams to moles in molar mass calculations. The original calculation mistakenly used 6.022 x 10^-23, leading to an incorrect result of 3.545 x 10^-46 g·mol^-1. Correcting this to the proper value yields the expected molar mass of 35.45 g·mol^-1. Understanding the significance of Avogadro's number is essential for accurate chemical computations. Accurate calculations rely on using the correct exponential notation for Avogadro's number.

Homework Statement



I only have a question on the calculation, so I won't even give the question...
My book says

(0.5877 \times 10^{-23} \:g) \times (6.022 \times 10^{-23} \: mol^{-1} )= 35.45 \: g \cdot mol^{-1}


According to my calculator (0.5877 \times 10^{-23} \:g) \times (6.022 \times 10^{-23} \: mol^{-1})= 3.545 \times 10^{-46} \: g \cdot mol^{-1}

How did they get rid of the 10^{-46} sign??

Thanks!

There is an error in the expression, should be 6.022x1023, not 6.022x10-23. This is the Avogadro's number.

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
