How big is Avogadro’s #?<br />

• An Avogadro's number of soft drink cans would<br />

cover <strong>the</strong> surface of <strong>the</strong> earth to a depth of over<br />

200 miles.<br />

• If you spread Avogadro's number of unpopped<br />

popcorn kernels across <strong>the</strong> USA, <strong>the</strong> entire<br />

country would be covered in popcorn to a depth of<br />

over 9 miles.<br />

• If we were able to count atoms at <strong>the</strong> rate of 10<br />

million per second, it would take about 2 billion<br />

years to count <strong>the</strong> atoms in one mole.
