Mole Concept & Molar Mass

Atomic Mass Unit (amu)

● One mole of a substance contains
a fixed number of particles and
has a fixed mass.

● The atomic mass unit (amu) is

the mass that is equal to the 1/12
of the carbon-12 isotope.
Mole Concept & Molar Mass

Atomic Mass
Atomic mass
● weighted average of the
masses of naturally occurring
isotopes of the element
● expressed in amu
● sometimes referred to as
atomic weight
● mass that appears at the
periodic table
Mole Concept & Molar Mass

Molar Mass (MM)

● mass per one mole of a given
elementary entity
● Unit: grams/mole (g/mol)
Mole Concept & Molar Mass

Molar Mass (M)

● Molar mass of an element is
equal to its atomic mass.

MMhydrogen = 1.01 g/mol

MMmagnesium = 24.31 g/mol

MMtitanium = 47.87 g/mol

Mole Concept & Molar Mass

Molar Mass (M)

● Molar mass of a compound is the sum of the molar mass of
all its constituent elements.

To Summarize:
Mole (abbreviated as mol) is amount of matter which has
the same number of particles (atoms, molecules, ions, or
1 formula units) as the number of atoms present in exactly
12 grams of the isotope carbon-12.

One mole is equivalent to 6.022 x 1023 particles. This

2 value is known as Avogadro’s number which is in honor
of Amedeo Avogadro.
To Summarize:
Atomic mass, or sometimes referred to as average atomic
mass or atomic weight, is the average of the masses of
3 naturally occurring isotopes and takes into account the
relative abundance of each. It is expressed in atomic mass
unit (amu).

The mass (in grams) of one mole of an element has an

4 equal numerical value as that of atomic mass (in amu) of
the element.
To Summarize:

Molar mass (M) is the mass per one mole of a given

5 elementary entities. It has a unit of g/mol.
