Aloha Mole Day
Celebrated annually on October 23, Mole
Day commemorates Avogadro's Number (6.02 x 10²³), which is a
basic measuring unit in chemistry. Mole Day was created as a way
to foster interest in chemistry. For a given molecule, one mole
is a mass (in grams) whose number is equal to the molar mass of
the molecule. In general, one mole of any substance contains
Avogadro's Number of molecules or atoms of that substance. This
relationship was first discovered by Amedeo Avogadro (1776-1858)
and he received credit for this after his death.

state removes 2,000 tires from Thurston County park. Why were
they there?
Work crews removed about 2,000 tires offshore of Frye Cove Park in northwest Thurston County this month.
