Why is the value of Avogadro's number `6.022 xx 10^(23)` and not any other value ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

It represents the number of atoms in one gram atom of an element or the number of molecules in one gram mole of a compound. If we divide the atomic mass of an element by actual mass of its atom, the value is `6.022 xx 10^(23)`. Similarly, by dividing the molecular mass of a compound by the actual mass of its molecules, the same result is obtained.

What is the value of Avogadro's number of particles?

Mole concept is an important tool for dealing with chemical calculations. The element have atomic mases while compounds have molecular masses or molar masses. Mole is infact, a collection of Avogadro's number (N_(A)) of the particles of a substance whether element or compound.
