Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A mole of any substance contains Avogadro's number of entities, which is approximately $6.022 \times 10^{23}$. Given that a steel shotput ball weighs around 7.26 kg (for men's shotput), the total mass of a mole of these balls would be $7.26 \text{ kg} \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \approx 4.37 \times 10^{24} \text{ kg}$. This is in the ballpark of the mass of the Earth, which is approximately $5.97 \times 10^{24} \text{ kg}$.
