INTRODUCTION TO THE MOLE CONCEPT
Moles
o The SI unit for an amount of a substance

o A mole is equal to Avogadro's Number (6.02 x 10
23
)

o 1 Mole = 6.02 x 10
23
2 Moles = 2 x 6.02 x 10
23


Molar Mass
o 1 Mole = Molar Mass

o Example:
1 mole of CH3OOH weigh 60g
if 180g 3 moles:
Moles = mass/molar mass
= 180/60
= 3 moles
