Definition 25.5 School Chemistry — Grades 1 to 12 · Chapter 25 — The Mole and Molar Mass

The Avogadro constant NAN_A is the number of entities per mole:

NA=6.022 140 76×1023 mol−1.N_A = 6.022\,140\,76 \times 10^{23}\,\mathrm{mol}^{-1} .

Its value is exact, fixed by definition. In calculations it is rounded to 6.02×1023 mol−16.02 \times 10^{23}\,\mathrm{mol}^{-1}.
