Dimensional formula of Avogadro constant

[mol-1]

SymbolNA SI unitper mole (mol⁻¹)

The number of particles in one mole. The mole is a base quantity, so the constant is one over it.

Derivation

How to get the dimensional formula of Avogadro constant

  1. Start from the definition: Avogadro constant = 1 / amount of substance.
  2. Put in the dimension of each part: 1 / [mol].
  3. Add the powers of each base quantity: [mol-1].
