Moles

Dozen = 12, Pair = 2, Triple = 3, Score = 20

Term Dozen Pair Triple Score Mole
Number 12 2 3 20 6.022 x 1023

1 mole = 6.022 x 1023

1 mole = Molar Mass (An element or a compound)

The atomic mass of Carbon is 12 grams.

12 grams of C is 1 mole of C. (Instead of saying 6.022 x 1023 particles of carbon
we just say 1 mole C and we know that 1 mole C weighs 12 grams)
Element Atomic Mass Mole
Magnesium (Mg) 24g 1 mole of Mg weighs 24 grams
Calcium (Ca) 40g 1 mole of Ca weighs 40 grams
Sodium (Na) 23g 1 mole of Na weighs 23 grams
Same number of particles but different weights or masses.
Compounds
We have to combine the individual elements to find the mass of 1 mole of the
compound.

What does ½ a mole weigh? 90g

When we know moles, we can figure out weight.

Number of Moles × Atomic Mass=Mass of Element
( Number of Moles × Atomic Mass ) + ( Number of Moles × Atomic Mass )=Mass of Compound

When we know weight, we can figure out moles.
