Mol Day has arrived!
The long-anticipated Mol Day has finally arrived! Students celebrated from 6:02 am to 6:02 pm by playing mol games, eating mol food, and paying tribute to Amadeus Avagadro--"Father of the Mol."
The mol is an important number used in Chemistry. It is similar to a dozen, in that it always represents the same number of particles. Where a dozen is 12, a mole is 6.022 x 1023. This number is used in mass conversions so chemists can compare amounts of subastances. The basis for the "mol" was discovered by Amadeus Avagadro who based his calculations on Carbon-12; however his work was not widely accepted until after his death.
