To express the square root of a number with a rational exponent, you can use the exponent \( \frac{1}{2} \).

For the expression \( 3 \sqrt{23} \), you can rewrite the square root of \( 23 \) using the rational exponent:

\[
\sqrt{23} = 23^{\frac{1}{2}}
\]

Thus, the expression \( 3 \sqrt{23} \) can be expressed as:

\[
3 \sqrt{23} = 3 \cdot 23^{\frac{1}{2}}
\]

So, the rational exponent you would use to express \( \sqrt{23} \) is \( \frac{1}{2} \).
