Moles

Moles are a measurement of chemical amounts.

Individual atoms

  • Because atoms and molecules are so small, it is inconvenient to talk about individual atoms.
  • Instead, chemical amounts can be measured in moles.

Moles

  • 1 mole of a substance is 6.02x1023 atoms of that substance.
  • This number is called the Avogadro constant.

Relative Formula Mass (Mr)

The relative formula mass (Mr) of a substance is equal to the mass of 1 mole of that substance (in grams). For an element, this is the same as the relative atomic mass.

Illustrative background for CarbonIllustrative background for Carbon ?? "content

Carbon

  • The mass of 1 mole of carbon is 12 g, which is the same as the relative atomic mass of carbon.
Illustrative background for Carbon dioxideIllustrative background for Carbon dioxide ?? "content

Carbon dioxide

  • Every carbon dioxide molecule has 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms:
    • Ar of carbon = 12
    • Ar of oxygen = 16
      • Mr of carbon dioxide = 12 + (2 x 16) = 44
