In describing how many particles are there in 1 mole, please include or cite the URL where you get your information. I hope majority of you (my students) will be able to use the conversion factors.
Why 4 Million years to count 6.022 x10^23 particles if 5 Billion people are counting it, at the rate of 1 particle/sec for each person. How do you know? Show your conversion and how do you cancel out the units.
You can be creative and original as long as you show the evidence using "calculation." Have fun!

Now that there are 6+ billion people to help, it'll only take about 3 million years.
Yes, you are right about it. For my students who are still asking how? Check this out
Assume: 3 Billion = 3 x10^9
[6.022 x10^23)atoms]/ [(6X10^9)atoms/s(60s/min)(60min/hr)(24h/d)(365d/y)]
3,182,606.122 years
About 3 Million years!
Legend: s= seconds, min= minute, d=day, y= years, rate of atom/s for each person.
Thanks for sharing, anonymous
