Study Notes
The Mole Concept
- Provides a consistent way to count and measure the number of atoms or molecules in a sample.
- Enables chemists to relate macroscopic properties (mass, volume) to microscopic properties (number of atoms or molecules).
Definition of a Mole
- Represents the amount of substance that contains as many elementary entities (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.) as there are atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12.
- This number, known as Avogadro's number, is approximately 6.022 x 10^23.
Molar Mass of a Compound
- Determined by adding up the atomic masses of all the atoms in the chemical formula of a compound.
- Expressed in grams per mole (g/mol).
False Statement about Moles
- The mole is a unit of mass. (False - Mole represents a quantity, not mass, although it is related to mass through molar mass.)
Molar Volume of an Ideal Gas at STP
- At standard temperature and pressure (0°C and 1 atm), one mole of any ideal gas occupies a volume of 22.4 liters.
- This is because the volume occupied by the gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas present at constant temperature and pressure.
