Atomic Mass
What is the Avogadro's Number?
- Avogadro's number (NA) is a fundamental constant in chemistry and physics.
- It is defined as the number of particles (atoms or molecules) in one mole of a substance.
- The value of Avogadro's number is 6.022140857 × 10^23 particles.
Importance of Avogadro's Number
- Used to convert between the amount of a substance (moles) and the number of particles it contains.
- Essential in calculating the atomic mass of an element.
- Helps to establish the relationship between the atomic mass unit (amu) and the gram.
Calculation of Atomic Mass using Avogadro's Number
- Atomic mass (A) is the total mass of all atoms in a mole of an element.
- Atomic mass unit (amu) is one-twelfth the mass of a carbon-12 atom.
- The atomic mass of an element can be calculated using the following formula: A = (total mass of atoms in a sample) / (number of moles) = (total mass of atoms in a sample) / (NA × number of atoms in a sample)
Note: These notes provide a concise overview of Avogadro's number and its significance in calculating atomic mass.
