Period 8 Avogadro's Number Discussion Board

Avogadro's number is so big, it it difficult to comprehend its size. 6.02 x 10 ^23 particles per mole. -Your job is to create your own an analogy (a comparison between two things for the purpose of explanation or clarification) to explain how big this number is. -When you have posted your explanation and shown you work, comment on 3 other classmates. You can add to the discussion or raise questions that need to be answered. -You should respond to questions raised by classmates. -All dialogue is to be respectful, but also must be clear and effective communication. -This assignment is meant to resemble online discussion boards frequently used in modern college classes. The deadline is Tuesday 2/12

    500 million straws are released into the ocean everyday. We put 182,500,000,000,000 straws into the ocean every year.
    500,000,000 x 365 = 182,500,000,000,000. (6.20x10^23)/182,500,000,000,000 =3,298,630,137 years to make one mole of straws in the ocean.

      Having any sort of plastic in the ocean is scary. These numbers make it a bit scarier in my opinion. -Kit R.

    6.02e+23 x 17.78 cm = 1.070356e+25 cm of colored pencils
    1.070356e+25 cm converted into km is: 1.070356e+20 km
    The distance to Pluto is 7.5 billion kilometers. The distance to and from Pluto is 15000000000 km. How many times can the amount of 1.070356e+20 km stretch to and from Pluto?
    1.070356e+20/15000000000= 7135706666.67
    One mole of the length of colored pencils would make a trip to and from Pluto 7135706666.67 times.
