How many atoms does 1kg of mercury have?

[-] SmoothIsFast@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago

30x10^23 atoms according to my calculations.

So basically if you handle 1M atoms per second, it would take 95B years to process 1kg...

It's really hard to grasp those scales

3.0022×10^24 atoms, to be precise.
