A mole is a counting unit similar to a dozen. A dozen is associated with the number 12 while a mole is associated with the number 6.02 x 6.02 x is also know as Avagadro’s number after the scientist Why would scientists use such a large number? What is a mole?
Avagadro’s number is used to convert between moles and particles. 1 mole = 6.02 x particles Particles can be atoms, ions, or molecules Avagadro’s Number
Just like using molar mass to convert back and forth between moles and grams we can use Avagadro’s number as a conversion unit to convert between moles and particles. When going from moles to particles use: When going from particles to moles use: Conversion Units
Convert 8.23 moles of NaCl to molecules Example
2.98 x atoms of Silver are equal to how many moles of Silver? Example
Another mole conversion unit that can be used in chemistry is 1 mole=22.4 Liters of a gas This can be used to go back and forth between moles and liters of a gas When going from moles to liters use: When going from liters to moles use: Conversion Unit
23 moles of chlorine gas has a volume of how many liters? Example
98 Liters of Hydrogen gas is exactly how many moles? Example
