MOLE Chemical unit of amount Refers to the amount of a substance which contains the same number of pieces as there

e are the number of atoms of Carbon in 12 grams of C12 12 grams C12 = 6.02 x 1023 atoms of Carbon = 1 mole 1 mole any substance = 6.02 x 10 23 pieces 1 mole of O atoms = 6.02 x 10 23 O atoms 1 mole Na atoms = 6.02 x 10 23 Na atoms 1 mole of H2O = 6.02 x 10 23 H2O molecules 1 mole of apples = 6.02x 1023 apples Molar Mass mass in grams of 1 mole of a substance G atomic mass- mass in grams of 1 mole of atoms that is numerically equal to its atomic mass g-molecular mass mass in grams of 1 mole of molecules that is numerically equal to its molecular mass (sum of all atomic masses of atoms comprising the molecule if the formula of the molecule is known) g formula mass mass in grams of 1 mole of formula units that is numerically equal to its formula mass ( sum of all atomic masses of atoms comprising the formula unit if formula of the compound is known)

H2O 1 mole x 15.9 = 15.9 2 moles x 1 = 2 17.9 g or

H2O 1mole x 16 = 16 2 moles x 1 = 2 18 g

NaCl 1 x35.45 = 35.45 1 x 23 = 23 58.45 g

MOLE = 6.02 X 10 23 = Molar mass PROBLEM CATEGORIES OF THE MOLE CONCEPT Category I : Conversions between mole , grams, atoms, molecules Calculation where information about the quantity of the substance is sought from a given quantity of the same substance. E.g. How many moles of Na are present in 100 grams of Na ? Category II : Calculation about Composition Calculation where information about the quantity of substance is sought from a given amount of a compound containing the substance. E.g. How many grams of Cl are contained in 20 grams of CCl4 ?

Emperical Formula = formula which shows the smallest whole number ratio of atoms of the elements comprising the compound. Molecular Formula = formula which shows the actual number of atoms of the elements comprising the compound.
