1. What's the value of the number?

Explanation

The given answer, 6.022140857 × 10^23, represents a number in scientific notation. In scientific notation, a number is expressed as a decimal number multiplied by a power of 10. The power of 10 indicates the number of places the decimal point has been moved to the right or left. In this case, the number 6.022140857 is multiplied by 10 raised to the power of 23, which means the decimal point has been moved 23 places to the right. Therefore, the value of the number is a very large number, 6.022140857 followed by 23 zeros.

What Do You Know About The Avogadros Number? - Quiz

Avogadro's number is the number of particles (atoms or molecules most of the time) that is contained in one mole of a substance. The theory is actually very simple, and you should easily get these questions sorted out, but it depends on whether or not you've used the number before.

2. What's the name of the man behind the number?

Explanation

The name of the man behind the number is Amedeo.

Submit
3. Who actually cemented the theory but named it in the honor or Avogadro?

Explanation

Jean Perrin is the correct answer because he was the one who actually cemented the theory, but named it in the honor of Avogadro. Perrin was a French physicist who conducted experiments on Brownian motion, which provided strong evidence for the existence of atoms and molecules. He also made significant contributions to the understanding of Avogadro's law and the determination of Avogadro's number. Therefore, Perrin's work played a crucial role in solidifying the theory and honoring Avogadro's contributions to the field of chemistry.

Submit
4. Who first defined Avogadro's number as the number of atoms in one gram per molecule of atomic hydrogen, meaning one gram of hydrogen?

Explanation

Jean Baptiste Perrin first defined Avogadro's number as the number of atoms in one gram per molecule of atomic hydrogen, meaning one gram of hydrogen.

Submit
5. When Amedeo Avogadro first propose the theory that dictates the number?

Explanation

Amedeo Avogadro first proposed the theory that dictates the number in 1811.

Submit
6. What's the symbol of Avogadro's number?

Explanation

The symbol for Avogadro's number is "L". Avogadro's number, also known as Avogadro's constant, is a fundamental constant in chemistry and physics that represents the number of particles (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.) in one mole of a substance. The symbol "L" is derived from the Italian word "loschimia," which means chemistry. It is used to represent Avogadro's number in various equations and calculations involving the mole concept.

Submit
7. What's the number called in German literature?

Explanation

The Loschmidt Constant, also known as the Avogadro Constant, is a fundamental constant in physics and chemistry. It represents the number of particles (atoms, molecules, ions) present in one mole of a substance and is often used to convert between the macroscopic and microscopic scales. It is named after the Austrian physicist Johann Loschmidt, who made significant contributions to the understanding of gases and kinetic theory. In German literature, the Loschmidt Constant may be mentioned in the context of scientific discussions or historical references.

Submit
8. Who first indicated the value of the number?

Explanation

Johann Josef Loschmidt was the first to indicate the value of the number.

Submit
9. When did Loschmidt estimate the number's count?

Explanation

Loschmidt estimated the number's count in 1865.

Submit
10. Do you know the unit of Avogadro's number?

Explanation

The unit of Avogadro's number is N^-1. This is because Avogadro's number represents the number of particles (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.) in one mole of a substance. The unit N^-1 indicates that it is the reciprocal of Avogadro's number, meaning it represents the number of moles per particle. So, N^-1 is the correct unit for Avogadro's number.
