Post jokingly claims Avogadro's number is 14
Original: ' Avogadro's number is 14. # rugby # chemistry # physics
Avogadro's number is 14 is circulating under the tags rugby, chemistry and physics. The claim is false: Avogadro's number, the number of particles in a mole of a substance, is approximately 6.022 x 10 to the 23rd. The post appears to be a joke, and the odd mix of hashtags suggests it is meant as absurdist humour rather than a serious scientific statement.
Why now: The deliberately wrong scientific claim presented with unrelated hashtags reads as absurdist humour that people are sharing and reacting to.
