MOLE CONCEPT Learning Objectives: ✓ Define a mole; ✓ Illustrate Avogadro’s number with examples; ✓ Determine the molar mass of elements and compounds; ✓ Calculate the mass of a given number of moles of an element or compound, or vice versa; and ✓ Calculate the mass of a given number of particles of an element or compound, or vice versa. THE AVOGADRO’S NUMBER Mole (mol) - the amount of substance containing the same number of particles ✓ One mole of a substance is equivalent to the Avogadro's number, 6.02 × 10²³, named in honor of the Italian scientist, Amadeo Avogadro. THE AVOGADRO’S NUMBER 1) 1 mole of an element is numerically equal to its atomic mass expressed in grams. 1 mol C = 12 g 2) 1 mole of an element contains 6.02 × 10²³ atoms. 1 mol Al = 6.02 × 10²³ Al atoms THE AVOGADRO’S NUMBER 3) 1 mole of molecular compound contains 6.02 × 10²³ molecules. 1 mol H₂O = 6.02 × 10²³ H₂O molecules 4) 1 mole of ionic compound contains 6.02 × 10²³ cations and 6.02 × 10²³ anions. 1 mol NaCl = 6.02 × 10²³ Na+ 1 mol NaCl = 6.02 × 10²³ Cl- MOLAR MASS ✓ The molar mass of a compound is the mass in grams of one mole of a substance. ✓ It is numerically equal to the sum of the masses of the elements that make up the compound. ✓ It is obtained by multiplying the number of atoms by the atomic mass of each element, and getting the sum. ✓ Unit: g/mol MOLAR MASS Example 1 Galactose (C6H12O6), a simple sugar, can be found in milk. What is its molar mass? C 6 × 12 = 72 H 12 × 1 = 12 O 6 × 16 = 96 180 g/mol MOLAR MASS Example 2 Sodium carbonate decahydrate (Na₂CO3 10H₂O), also known as washing soda, is widely used in cleaning substances such as laundry detergents.
