Introductory Message
For the facilitator:
Welcome to the Science 9 Self-Learning Module 14 on Mole and Number of
Moles of a Given Compound

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K
to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in
developing this instructional resource.
This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.
In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

LESSON

Atom is the basic unit of an element. According to John Dalton, atom was extremely
small and indivisible. Can you count the atoms?

Atomic mass unit provides relative scale for the masses of elements, but since atom
has such small masses, no usable scale can be devised to weigh them in calibrated
instruments or units of atomic mass. Thus, chemist used a special unit to describe
a very large number of atoms. Example, a pair means (two)2, a dozen means (twelve)
12, and a gross means144 items.

The unit defined by the system International (SI) is the mole (mol). Mole is the
amount of a substance that contains particles. These particles can be an atom, a
molecule, an ion. This definition specifies only the method by which the number of
particles in a mole maybe found. The actual number is:

1 mole = 6.022 x 1023 particles.

Again, the particles can be an atom, a molecule or an ion. This number is called
the Avogadro’s number in honor of Italian scientist named Amadeo Avogadro.

The mole of a substance can be defined as the mass of substance containing the
same number of fundamental units- this fundamental units may be atoms,
molecules, or formula units which will depend on the substance involved.
One mole is said to be the number of atoms in exactly 12grams of the isotope 12C
which is also defined as the amount of substance containing the Avogadro’s number
in any kind of chemical unit.
The mass in grams of one mole of substance called molar mass. For example, 1 mole
of C-12 atom has a mass exactly 12 grams and contains 6.022 x 1023 atoms.

Examples:

Element Atomic Weight Molar Mass

C 12 amu 12 g/mol
Na 23 amu 23 g/mol
O 16 amu 16 g/mol

To calculate the number of moles of given compound, the formula is:

𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠 (𝑔)
mole (n) =
𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑟 𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠 (𝑔/𝑚𝑜𝑙)

The following are sample problems:

1.Gold (Au) is used in jewelry making. The atomic weight of gold is 197. Find the ff:
a. number of moles
b. number of atoms in 200 grams gold
Solution
𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠 (𝑔)
mole (n) =
𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑟 𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠 (𝑔/𝑚𝑜𝑙)

a. X Mole = 200 grams x 1mole b. X atoms = 200g x 6.022 x 1023

197 grams 197 grams
= 1.02 moles = 6.11 x 1023 atoms

2.Suppose you consume 500grams sugar (C12H22O11) in one week. How many moles
of sugar did you consume? Calculate the number of molecules in 500grams sugar?
Molar mass of sugar is 342 grams per mole.

a. X Mole = 500 grams x 1mole b. X atoms = 500g x 6.022 x 1023

342 grams 342 grams
= 1.46 moles = 8.8 x 1023 molecules

Activity 3. Importance of Mole Concept

Direction: Read and answer what is ask.

As humans, we need oxygen in order for us to stay alive, good thing it is found around
us in the air we breathe in. Oxygen is generated by plants during photosynthesis.
This oxygen plays a critical role in our respiration as it fuels our cells.

Let’s have a simple task, follow the instructions very clearly. Close your eyes and
take a deep breath, as you breathe in the molecules pass through your nose then
into your lungs where 0.001 mole of oxygen are absorbed into your blood. Those
molecules will help each cell in your body produce energy to keep your body moving
and your heart pumping. How many molecules are there in 0.001 mole of oxygen?

 VALUING

As Covid-19 continues to spread worldwide, researchers, doctors and medical

professionals strive in search for a cure. In Russia, specifically in Moscow they began
their vaccine trials to 40,000 individuals they claimed that their vaccine could
provide lasting immunity to Covid-19 but offered no proof. But did you know that in
order for them to make this drug, someone must be able to figure how much amount
of ingredients they need to make the final drug. Figuring out the amount of
ingredients for the said drug involves the mole concept.
