Should I memorize how many Coulombs are in a mole of electrons?

[bretonnia]

I thought this would be something given in a passage if it was needed, but I just had a practice question that required it and it wasn't given in the passage. I'd rather not memorize another stupid value if I don't have to. 🙂

Was it AAMC or some other source? I cannot remember any material from AAMC which relies on remembering such constants.

For what it's worth, I don't know the number (took it on 4/27).

No, but you should know the charge of an electron and avogadro's number, and therefore be able to ballpark the charge of a mole of electrons pretty quickly.

That's Faraday's constant, isn't it?

9.64853399(24) x 10^4 C mol-1
