The value of Avogadro's number was obtained by dividing the charge of a mole of electrons by the charge of a single electron which is equal to 6.02214154 x 1023 particles per mole.

The most common used way is

  • n=Charge of one mole of atom /charge of one single atom

There can be another derived way

  • No of molecules=No of moles ×Avagadro no
  • Avagadro no=No of molecules/No of moles
