how many particles in 3.02 x 10^34 moles of NaCl

makes my head hurt :confused:

Are you sure that question wasn't how many moles in 3.02 x 10^34 particles? :p

No. I just made something up. :p

That's a sh1tload of salt dude...

:D

I wonder if it would be possible to ever terraform a planet consisting of 3.02x10^34 moles of table salt.

A mole is actually a unit of chemical quantity that is used to calculate reaction kinetics and chemical equations.

A mole of something is to have 'avogadro's constant' amount of something. So it is the same number in the end.

Most likely. 3.02 x 10^34 moles of NaCl would be 1750000000000000000000000000000000000 grams. :Q

If it was salt of the earth than by definition, yes.

That's true, but he was talking about the number itself. I think we both understand each other ;)

This is funny. Instead of doing my chem homework, I'm posting on ATOT about it.

Avagadro's number! Is that all?! Boy, you are in for some crazy stuff in the future:) We just covered maximal velocity of enzymes with inhibitors. Vnaught = (Vmax )/(Km +) Several cookies for those who know this one!

Well, Earth only masses 5.97e24 kg... so your salt world would be like 290 billion times more massive (1 mole of NaCl = ~58 g).

In fact, the sun only masses 1.99e30 kg, so I think the salt world would probably collapse into a star or something...
