Several years ago, a newspaper article on mole day mentioned avogadro's number, 6.02 x 10”, as
the reason october 23 is chosen for the celebration, and described a mole as a unit of
measurement like a dozen or case; for example, a mole of m& m's would be equal to 18 tractor
trailers full” (c& en, january 28, 2002)
given that an m& m occupies roughly 1 ml, verify or refute this description through research and
calculations.
in the space below, outline your method for solving this problem, clearly stating your conclusion
your calculations must include an estimate of the volume of one mole of plain m& m's.
