Avagadro's number is so large because it defines a basic unit in chemistry. To be precise it is defined as the number of atoms of carbon it would take to equal twelve grams. This is to allow for convenient comparison between various weights of atoms and molecules.

The name that tells the number of molecules?
it is Avagadro's no
What is the name given to the number of particles in a mole?
The name given to the number of particles in a mole is Avagadro's number/constant
What is the name given to the number of atoms in a mole?
The number of atoms in a mole of any pure substance is called?
What is the Avogadro's number for water?
Each molecule of H2O contains three atoms. Avogadro's number of water molecules constitutes about 18 grams; therefore one-third of this mass, or 6 grams, will contain the stated number of atoms.
How many molecules are in 1.0g of CH4?
First divide 1 by molecular mass 16.then multiply by Avagadro number
Can a mole represent a molecule?
A mole represents a set number of molecules, not just 1 molecule. There are avagadro's number of molecules in a mole. Avagadro's number: 6.022x10^23
The name that tells the number of molecules?
it is Avagadro's no
What is the value of Avagadro's number?
6.022 x 1023
How can you calculate no of moles from no of atoms?
You divide the number of atoms by avagadro's number. Avagadro's number is 6.022x10^23 atoms/molecules / mole. The best way to remember this is by the units, atoms in each mole.
How is Avogadro's number represented?
Avagadro's number is represented by the symbols L or NA
What is the mass of an atom of?
It is its molecular weight divided by avagadro's number.
The number of particles in a mole is a constant?
Yes - it is Avagadro's number/constant
How big is avagadro's number?
It is approx 6.022 * 1023 per mole.
What does Avagadro have to do with moles?
Avagadro was the scientist who determined the number of molecules that make up a basic unit in chemistry called the "mole". Moles are a certain number of basic units of a substance - 6.02 x 1023
How many molecules are there in one mole of oxygen?
There is 1 Avagadro number - so, 6.022 x 1023 molecules in 1 mole of oxygen.
Why the unit of a mole is useful to a chemist?
Well with a simple calculation factor we can keep track of how many molecules there are (avagadro's number), and at the same time, we don't have to deal with ridiculously large numbers
What is the name given to the number of particles in a mole?
The name given to the number of particles in a mole is Avagadro's number/constant
