A Kilo of Rice
1 sack of Rice = 50 kg Rice
A Dozen of Egg = 12 pcs. of Egg
A Pair of Shoes (2 pcs. of same shoes)
1 sheet of Paper = 1 pc. of paper
1 Ream of Paper = 500 sheets of paper
To figure out the countless
things in this world we used
MOLE.
 MOLE
A convenient method of expressing
the amount of a substance.
 MOLE
is the SI unit used to measure the
amount of substance whose number of
particles is the same as the number of
atoms of carbon in exactly 12g of
Carbon-12
 MOLE
Avogadro’s number is the number of
representative particles in a mole.

1 mole = 6.02x1023 representative

particles
Avogradro’s number
was named after
Amedeo Avogadro
(1776-1856)
 1 Pair = 2 pcs.
1 Dozen = 12 pcs.
1 Ream =500 pcs.

1 mole = 6.02x10 representative

particles
a. How many mongo seeds are equal to 3.50 moles of
mongo seeds?
b. How many bananas are equal to 7.50 moles of
bananas?
c. How many moles of rice grains are equal to 1.807 x
1024 grains of rice?
d. How many moles of tomatoes are in 3.01 x 1023
tomatoes?
 The representative particle of an ionic
compound is the formula unit.
1 mole = 6.02 x 1023 formula units

Example: How many hydrogen ions (H+) are in 2

¿
mole?
2 moles

1.20x10 24 formula units H +

 The representative particle of a covalent
compound is the molecule.
1 mole = 6.02 x 1023 molecule
How many molecules are there in 4.0
Example:
moles CH4 (Methane)?

( )
23
6.02𝑥10 𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑢𝑙𝑒𝑠
4 moles of CH 4
1𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒𝐶𝐻 4
= 2.41 x 10 24 molecules of CH 4
 The representative particle of an element is
the atom.
1 mole = 6.02 x 10 atom

Example: How many moles of copper are in

6,000,000 atoms of copper?
6,000,000 atoms of Cu ( 1 𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒𝐶𝑢
23
6.02 𝑥 10 𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑚𝑠 )
= 9.97x10 -18 mole of Cu
