I cant remember right now what it was... atoms maybe ?? not sure



You're all wrong!!!!
(sort of )

What you mean is 6.022136736 x 10^23 in mol^-1
This is know as Avagadros number (NA), and is the number of molecules(or atoms) in on mole of pure substance. Being a chemistry student (recently doing battle with Schrodingers Wave equation, and coming off victorious, with only a few battle wounds), I get to use it enough, so I should really know this.

Anyone care to guess what 8.314.... is? Anyone care?
