Welcome to Simmons College's Website about Mole Day!

FAQ:

Why did I get a sticker?

What does this sticker mean?

What do I do with this sticker now?

I found out about this website on my own, but I would like to participate in this project!

• During National Chemistry Week, Simmons College's Chemistry and Physics Liason is giving out stickers to demonstrate the relative size of a mole.
• You have been chosen to be a participant in this fun excercise!

• This sticker allows you to enter into a raffle if you decide to help out with the project and get 10 more stickers.
• Then, you take these stickers and pass them out to ten more people OR you can tell ten people to visit this website.

• You can either email me or stop by Simmons College (The Main College Building) from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM on October 18th through October 22nd, 2004. Simmons college is loacted at 300 The Fenway; Boston, MA 02115. If you would like, you can email me for directions or if with questions.

• If you attend the Museum of Science on Mole Day (October 23rd), you will still have a chance to participate. We will be continuing to give out stickers on that day.
• On Mole Day, EVERYONE is welcome to come to the science museum where we will display our results.

• The mole is also called Avogadro's Number.
• The number is generally rounded to 6.02 X 10^23.
• The mass in grams of a molecule numerically equals the molcular weight of the molecule.
• For example, since a water molecule has an atomic mass of 18, one mole of water weighs 18 grams.
• A continuation on the definition of a mole taken from ditcionary.com is as follows:
• The amount of a substance that contains as many atoms, molecules, ions, or other elementary units as the number of atoms in 0.012 kilogram of carbon 12.
• The base unit in the International System of Units for the amount of pure substance that contains the same number of elementary entities as there are atoms in exactly 12 grams of the isotope carbon 12 (a mole of photons) (a mole of sodium chloride)
