Guide Sheet
This Strategic Intervention Material (SIM) is designed in a way that you learn on your
own even without the assistance of your teacher. It is loaded with simple activities that help you
to understand easily the basic concepts of moles.
Moles refer to the amount of a substance having a mass that is numerically equal to its
molecular mass. It contains a number of particles equal to 6.02X1023. This very large number is
called the Avogadro’s number.
This Strategic Intervention Material (SIM) will help you see the relationships of the mass
of a mole of a substance and the number of particles like ions, atoms and molecules present in a
mole of any substance. The knowledge you gain from this material will help you make better
choices in whatever endeavor you will be in the future.
Chemists who do laboratory works don’t only get the amount by mass. They want to get
exactly the number of particles like the number of atoms, ions, and molecules present in a given
mass or in a given mole of a substance. In short, a mole is used to measure minute and large
numbers.
We will be solving problems on moles for you to see how things are related to each
other. You’ll appreciate the importance of studying moles after you go through this material.

REFERENCES
You have learned that particles like atoms, ions and molecules are
very, very small to be seen by the naked eye and to be counted by piece,
it is a must therefore that observable changes in chemical reactions
involve large numbers of these substances.
To get the number of particles, multiply the number of moles with the
Avogadro’s number.
