Study Notes
Mole Concept
Definition
- A mole (mol) is the SI unit of amount of substance.
- It is defined as the amount of substance that contains as many particles (atoms, molecules, ions, or electrons) as there are atoms in 0.012 kilograms of carbon-12.
Key Concepts
- Avogadro's Number: 6.022 x 10^23 particles (atoms or molecules)
- Molar Mass: the mass of one mole of a substance, expressed in grams per mole (g/mol)
Mole Calculations
-
Mole to Particle Conversion:
- 1 mole = 6.022 x 10^23 particles
- number of particles = number of moles x Avogadro's Number
-
Mole to Mass Conversion:
- mass = number of moles x molar mass
- number of moles = mass / molar mass
-
Mole to Volume Conversion (Gases):
- volume = number of moles x molar volume (22.4 L/mol at STP)
Importance of Mole Concept
- Allows for accurate calculations of quantities in chemical reactions
- Enables conversion between amount of substance and mass or volume
- Fundamental concept in chemistry, physics, and biochemistry

Mole Calculations
- 1 mole is equal to 6.022 x 10^23 particles.
- Number of particles can be calculated by multiplying the number of moles by Avogadro's Number.
- Mass can be calculated by multiplying the number of moles by molar mass.
- Number of moles can be calculated by dividing mass by molar mass.
- Volume of a gas can be calculated by multiplying the number of moles by molar volume (22.4 L/mol at STP).
