What is an atomic mass
number?
What is a mole?
The mole (symbol mol) is
a unit of measurement,
the base unit in the
International System of
Units (SI) for amount of
substance, a quantity
proportional to the
number of elementary
entities of a substance.
A mole is a quantity used by chemists to
count atoms and molecules.
23
A mole of something is equal to 6.02 x 10
“somethings”.

1 mole = 602 200 000 000 000 000 000 000


Who is Avogadro?
Amedeo Avogadro

Most noted for his


contribution to molecular
theory now known as
Avogadro's law, which states
that equal volumes of gases
under the same conditions of
temperature and pressure will
contain equal numbers of
molecules.
What is molar mass?
Molar mass of a substance is the mass in
grams of one mole of the compound.

In a substance, the amount of entities


present e.g. atoms, molecules, ions, is defined
as a mole.
23
A mole of any substance is 6.022×10
molecules.

Formula to Remember!

The number of moles in a given sample of an


element/compound can be calculated by dividing the
total mass of the sample by the molar mass of the
element/compound, as described by the following
formula.

# of moles =
Molar Mass
Formula to Remember!

The relationship between the atomic mass unit (amu)


and the gram is given by:

1 amu = 23
6.022 x 10
= 1.66*10 -24
grams

2. Calculate the moles of 3.75x10
molecules of oxygen gas?
Let’s try it out!

1. How many moles of iron are present in a


pure sample weighing 558.45 grams?

2. How many molecules of water


are present in 36 grams of water?

3. How many grams of carbon can be


found in 1 mole of carbon dioxide?

Mole Concept and
Molar Volume of Gases
For reactions that involve gases, the reacting
volumes of gases (rather than their reacting
masses) are often used. The volume occupied by
one mole of any gas is called molar volume.

3
The molar volume of any gas at STP is 22.4 dm
that is also equivalent to 22.4L.
Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) is
defined as 0•C (273.15K) and 1 atm pressure.

23
At STP, one mole (6.022 x 10 representative
particles) of any gas occupies a volume of 22.4L.
Let’s try it out!

He = 4g NH 3 = 15g O 3 = 32g
