1 mole = 6.023 x 10 units 23


1 mole of a substance represents a
fixed number of chemical entities and
has a fixed mass
1 mole = 6.023 x 10 units 23

The atomic mass of an element expressed in amu


is numerically the same as the mass of 1 mole of
atoms of the element expressed in grams
1 Fe atom has a mass of 55.85 amu;
1 mole of Fe atoms has mass of 55.85g
1 O2 molecule has a mass of 32.00 amu;
1 mole of O2 molecules has a mass of 32.00g
-Is the mass per mole of its entities
(atoms, molecules or formula units)
- unit = grams per mole (g/mol)
