Q: Comment-Answers

ringoI've noticed a recent trend of people answering questions in the comments. I've asked about this issue in the past, and though I understand that sometimes people don't want to write out a complete answer, the entire premise of Stack Exchange is "ask questions, get answers," NOT "ask questions, ge...

@Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ. I had to go on friday before TRE was supposed to start; I see that you canceled it :(

What is a homework question?—Please answer, even if it's not going to be comprehensive. The lack of activity and the drive-by downvotes are starting to annoy me.

@jonsca @manish (because Mart is on holiday) sorry if you have to decline my comment flag on this comment ^^'
@Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ. Going to, just wasn't ready enough yet … ^^'

Manish was pingable last week.
At least we do have a mod that'll visit chat.
 
Jan
Jan
Yabbut that mod is on holiday, so they'll reject the flag before Mart sees the ping ^^
Although if I'm honest I'm not entirely sure whether they actually process flags because one of mine has been pending for like forever since Mart left xD

Oh maybe @Loong knows if there is an all-mods chat or any other place where a mod on one site can contact any diamond mod on another?

@Jan Teacher's Lounge is a seekrit chatroom where all mods go hang.

I'm scared that @Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ. knows the answer to a moddistic question, and I'm also scared that @Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ. knows the answer to a question directed @IUPAC Ó____Ò

@Jan looks good. You might want to add the current value of the Avogardo constant, which still has to be determined experimentally.
(therefore, this value has an uncertainty)
 
Jan

@Loong Done.

@Jan In Appendix 1, page 157 of the English SI Brochure (page 65 of the pdf), you can find the English translation of all three points.

@Jan In school, my French was terrible.

This allows us to also add Spanish, Portugese and Dutch but then we are out of elements D=

@jan what was wrong about "amount"?
 
Jan
Jan
11:01 PM
@Loong See MaxW's comment.
I can change it back if you think it is better. I was confused too, but Wiktionary seems to back MaxW.
 
Loong
Loong
@Jan yeah, I saw the comment, and I'm confused what it is supposed to mean.
 
Jan
Jan
amount
Noun: amount ‎(plural amounts)
  1. The total, aggregate or sum of material (not applicable to discrete numbers or units or items in standard English).
  2. A quantity or volume.
  3. (nonstandard, sometimes proscribed) The number (the sum) of elements in a set.
Verb: amount ‎(third-person singular simple present amounts, present participle amounting, simple past and past participle amounted)
  1. (intransitive, followed by to) To total or evaluate.
  2. (intransitive, followed by to) To be the same as or equivalent to.
  3. (obsolete, intransitive) To go up; to ascend.
 
Loong
Loong
The official name of the quantity n is "amount of substance".
Thus 1 mol is an amount of substance. 1 mol hydrogen is an amount of hydrogen.
1 kilogram is not an amount; it's a mass.
Hence his comment is misleading.
(Not for the first time.)
