Amadeo
Avogadro
(1776 – 1856) Amedeo Avogadro (1766-1856)
never knew his own number;
it was named in his honor by a
French scientist in 1909.
its value was first estimated
by Josef Loschmidt, an Austrian
chemistry teacher, in 1895.

?
quadrillions thousands
trillions billions millions

1 mole = 602213673600000000000000
or 6.022 x 1023
There is Avogadro's number of particles in a mole of any substance.
Just How
Big is a
Mole?
• If you had a mole of doughnuts, they would
cover the entire Earth in a doughnut-layer five
miles deep.
• If you had a mole of basketballs, you could create
a new planet the size of the Earth!
• If you received a mole of pennies on the day you
were born, and spent a million dollars a second
until you died at 100, you’d still have over 99.99%
of your money in the bank!

Conclusion
Provide a brief summary of your presentation.
Remind the audience what you covered in the previous slides.
The Mole

• 1 mole Al = 6.02 X 1023 “atoms”

• 1 mole H2O = 6.02 x 1023 “molecules”
• 1 mole Fe2O3 = 6.02 x 1023 “formula units”

• Note:
• the NUMBER of particles is always the same, but the MASS of
each mole will be very different!
• This is because atoms have different atomic masses.
Deriving Number of Particles from
the Mole of a Substance

Number of Particles
(atom/molecules/ion)
Number of atom =
Number of moles x Avogadro’s no.
 Sample Problem (Number of Particles)

• How many atoms are in 3 moles of

Sodium, Na? (Moles-Atoms)
• Given: 3 mol of Sodium 1 mole = 6.02 X 1023
• No. atoms = (3 mol) (6.022 x 1023 atom.mol)
= 1.806 x 10 atoms Na

How to celebrate
List some ways you can celebrate Black History Month.
Here are a few examples:
• Discover African American artists
• Read African American authors
• Listen to African American musicians
• Learn important moments of African American history
Let’s calculate
the moles and
number of
atoms
Deriving Number of Mole from the
Mass of the Substance

Mole of Element =
mass of a substance
Atomic mass
 Sample Problem (Number of Moles)

• How many number of moles in 10.0g of

Aluminum, Al? Number of mole = mass of a substance/atomic mass
 Sample Problem (Number of Moles)
• How many number of moles in 10.0g of
Aluminum, Al? Number of mole = mass of a substance/atomic mass
 Sample Problem (Number of Atoms)
• How many number of atoms in 10.0g of
Aluminum, Al? Number of atom = Number of moles x Avogadro’s no.
Number of moles (Al) = 0.371 mol Al
 Number of atom =
Number of moles x Avogadro’s no.

Number of mole =
mass of a substance/atomic mass
