MOLE CONCEPT TO EXPRESS MASS OF SUBSTANCE

 MOLE is a unit of measurement used to express the AMOUNT OF SUBSTANCE.

 Amedeo Avogadro an Italian scientist who studied molecules
 Avogadro’s Number= 6.02x10 23 atoms/molecules/particles
 Molar mass- total mass of all the elements involved in that substance

We used Avogadro’s number to:

1. Convert atoms/molecules to moles.

Sample Problem #1: How many moles are there in 2.05 x 1022 of Sulfur (S)?
Given: 2.05 x 1022 of Sulfur (S)
Question: how many moles are there?
Formula:
Given atoms/molecules x 1 mole of the given
6.02x1023 (Avogadro’s #)
Solution:
= 2.05 x 1022 of Sulfur (S) x 1 mole of Sulfur
6.02x1023

= 0.03 moles of Sulfur

2. Convert moles to atoms/molecules.

Sample Problem #1: How many atoms are there in 2 moles of water (H2O)?
Given: 2 moles of water H2O
Question: How many molecules?

Formula: given atoms/mole x 6.02x1023 (Avogadro’s #)

1 mole of the given

= 2 moles of water (H2O) x 6.02x1023

1 mole of water (H2O)

= 12.04 x1023 atoms/molecules of H2O
