Chemistry: Understanding Moles and Avogadro's Number

What is the symbol or unit for the amount of a substance in moles?

What number represents Avogadro's constant?

What is the formula for calculating the number of moles (n) given the number of individual particles (N) and Avogadro's constant (NA)?

What is the formula for calculating the number of individual particles (N) given the amount in moles (n) and Avogadro’s constant (NA)?

If you have 2 moles of a substance, how many individual particles do you have?

What formula is used to determine the number of moles (n) given mass (m) and molar mass (M)?

What is the molar mass of a substance?

If you have 100 g of a substance with a molar mass of 50 g/mol, how many moles do you have?

Avogadro's Number

Avogadro's number (N_A) is 6.022 x 10²³
This number represents the number of atoms, molecules, or other particles in one mole of a substance.
One mole of a substance contains 6.022 x 10²³ particles.

Moles

A mole (mol) is the SI unit for the amount of a substance.
It is a measure of the number of particles in a substance, where each particle is an atom, molecule, or ion.
Moles are used to relate mass, number of particles and molar mass.

Formulas for Moles

n = N / N_A where:
n = number of moles
N = number of particles
N_A = Avogadro's number
n = m / M where:
n = number of moles
m = mass in grams
M = molar mass in g/mol

Calculating the Number of Particles

N = n x N_A where:
N = number of particles
n = number of moles
N_A = Avogadro's number

Molar Mass

Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance.
It is expressed in grams per mole (g/mol).

Example Calculations

Given a number of moles, the number of particles can be calculated by multiplying the moles by Avogadro's number.
Given the mass and molar mass, the number of moles can be calculated by dividing the mass by the molar mass.
Given a number of particles, the number of moles can be calculated by dividing the number of particles by Avogadro's number.
