Lesson 1
What’s In a Mole?

MELC: Use the mole concept to express mass of substances S9MT-IIi-19

Objectives:
1. Relate the mole concept to Avogadro’s number
2. Apply the mole concept to represent particles of a substance

Let’s Explore and Discover

Good day learners! Have you seen a pack of
colored chocolates or mixed nuts? What can you say
about their appearance? Can you segregate their
components? In our daily life, we prefer
convenience! We always want an easier life and way
of living. Every single day, we do lot of work that
needs the ability to count or measure. We count
reactions in the new uploaded profile picture or
shares and subscribers in an uploaded videos in our
social media accounts. While others do the number
of measurements such as the cup of rice to cook, the
volume of water to drink and others. Have you ever
try to count the number of grains of rice we cook?
It’s not that easy right?

There are terms that indicate certain

number such as dozen, ream, and century.
Terms Numbers
1 dozen donuts 12 donuts
1 case softdrinks 24 bottles of softdrinks
1 pair shoes 2 shoes
1 century old artifact 100 year old artifact
1 ream bondpaper 500 pcs of paper
1 gross of straws 144 straws
1 Gig or Giga 1 billion GigaByte

Are you familiar that a ream of bond paper consists of 500 pieces of papers? Chemists
also need the right amount of substances in their fields. It is impossible to count the number
of atoms present in the substance by knowing their masses. These substances are very
small and too many to count individually, the reason why chemists use a unit called mole.

1
 Do you have any idea how many particles are there in one mole?
The mole concept is the convenient way of expressing the amount of a
substance. Particles are counted by mole (mol), a unit that contains very
large number equal to 6.02x1023 representative particles (atom,
molecules, formula unit) of that substance and is called Avogadro’s
number in honor of Amadeo Avogadro (1776-1856) and is often
represented by the symbol “N”.

n= N/N where n is the number of moles of the substance.

Now, that you are aware how big the Avogadro’s number is, try to take the following
as one mole sample.

Substance Number Type of Particles

1 mole Gold 6.02 x 1023 atoms of Gold
1 mole of water (H2O) 6.02 x 1023 molecules of water
1 mole table salt (NaCl) 6.02 x 1023 formula units of table salt

The number of moles of a molecule may not always be equal to the number of moles
of it’s constituent elements. An example of this is a mole of water contains n number of
molecules of H2O. Each water molecule contains 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
Therefore, one mole of H2O contains 2 moles of hydrogen one mole of oxygen.

Sample Problem:

How many molecules are there in 4.0 moles NaCl?

To answer this, consider that: 1 mole = 6.02 x 1023 particles

Using the dimensional analysis, you will be able to convert the number of moles to
its equivalent amount in the number of particles.

Thus, 4.0 moles NaCl x 6.02 x = 2.41 x 1023 molecules NaCl.

In the previous lesson, you learned that the symbols and subscripts in a formula
tell the number of atoms of each type of element.

Example:

1 mole Glucose (C6H12O6) contains six atoms of Carbon, 12 atoms of Hydrogen and
six atoms of Oxygen. In one mole of glucose, there are as many moles of each element as
the atoms in a molecule of a compound. Therefore, 1 mole of C 6H12O6 contains 6 moles of
Carbon, 12 moles of Hydrogen, and 6 moles of Oxygen.

Can you guess the number of marbles and its

approximate weight in the bowl?

Can you weigh a single atom or molecule? What

particular instrument are you going to use? It is not
possible to weigh a single atom or molecule even if you
use the most accurate high technology instrument.
When you weigh one mole of a substance, you are
weighing its mass in grams which is also numerically
equal to its mass in atomic mass unit. This mass is
known as molar mass of the element.

2
 Molar mass of the element = atomic mass expressed in g/mol of the element. Let’s
take this example.

What is the molar mass of one mole H2SO4?

1g 32 g 16 g
Molar mass of H2SO4 = 2 mol H x + 1 mol S x + 4 mol O x
mol H mol S mol O
= 2 g + 32 g + 64 g
= 98 g

The molar mass and molecular mass are the same. It is the mass in grams per mole
of a substance, that is,

grams
Molar mass = mole

This equation or its reverse is used to relate the number of moles with the number
of grams of a substance. So, to determine the mass of a given number of mole, we use:

no. of moles x molar mass = mass

grams
mole x mole = grams

To determine the number of moles n in a given mass, the ff. equation is used;

no. of grams x 1 = mole

molar mass

mole
grams x = mole n
grams

The definition of mole in terms of Avogadro’s number gives the factors that are reciprocals
1 mole of particles / 6.02 x 1023 and 6.02 x 1023 / 1 mole

These factors are used to obtain the number of moles and number of molecules as
illustrated below:

No. of particles x 1 mole = no. of moles

6.02 x 1023 particles

No. of moles x 6.02 x 10 particles = no. of particles

23

1 mole

To summarize the relationships,

You got it right learner! Congratulations for trying your best in accomplishing this lesson.

Activity 1
Directions: Identify the measuring units with its equivalent number based from the picture
given.

Example: 1 century old artifact = 100 year old artifact

A. 2 B. 10 C. 12

D. 24 E. 144 F. 500

________________ ___________________

Questions:

Is it useful to use measuring units like dozen, gross and ream? Why?
⃝ No, it is not useful because it doesn’t give us the appropriate number of items we are
counting.
⃝ Yes, it is useful because we can approximately determine how many items are there.

 Activity 2
Directions: Read the given situation and help Nathan to identify the number of moles in
each element for the given compounds. Take the first one as example.

Nathan is a junior high school learner. During their science class, he was asked by
his teacher to go to the Laboratory Room and look for the available materials for their
science activity. Looking at the cabinet, he felt confused as he saw different bottles
containing samples of compounds.
Can you help Nathan identify the number of moles of each element in the given list
of their teacher so that Nathan would come up with the correct compounds listed by
his teacher.

Compounds Number of Moles for each Element

Example: Example:
Baking Soda, NaHCO₃ 1 mole Sodium
1 mole Hydrogen
1 mole Carbon
3 moles Oxygen

1. Table Salt, NaCl

2. Water, H2O

3. Glucose C6H12O6

4. Aspirin, C9H8O4

5. Copper sulfate, CuSO4

Questions:

1. How did you get the number of moles in each element from the given compounds?
⃝ Jackpot! I just made a guess with it! I truly trust my intuation.
⃝ I knew it! By looking at the symbols and subscripts in the formula.

2. Have you helped Nathan in identifying the number of moles of each element?
⃝ Yes, because I am familiar with the elements in each given compounds based from
our science lesson.
⃝ No, because I am also confused with the names of the elements.

3. How did you feel helping Nathan with his task?

⃝ I feel happy because I was able to help Nathan with his task.
⃝ I feel happy because I am better than Nathan in accomplishing the task.

 Let’s Do More

Activity 1
Directions: Using dimensional analysis approach, convert number of moles to its
equivalent amount in the number of particles. The first one is done for you.

Example: How many molecules are there in 4.0 moles of CO2?

6.02 x 1023 molecules CO2

4.0 moles CO2 x = 2.41 x 1024 molecules CO2
1 mole CO2

1. How many mongo seeds are equal to 3.50 moles of mongo seeds?

2. How many bananas are equal to 7.50 moles of bananas?

3. How many moles of rice grains are equal to 1.807 x 1024 grains of rice?

4. How many moles of tomatoes are in 3.01 x 1023 of tomatoes?

Questions:

1. Do substances with the same mass have the same number of particles? Why?
⃝ Yes, substances with the same mass have the same number of particles.
⃝ No, because the same masses have different numbers of atoms, molecules and
moles.

2. Can you relate the concept to Avogardro’s number?

⃝ Yes, The mole concept is a convenient way of expressing the amount substance that
contains a very large number equal to 9.02x1023 representative particles called the
Avogadro’s number.
⃝ Yes, The mole concept is the convenient way of expressing the amount of a
