Measuring Quantities How many donuts will we get if we ask for a dozen? Twelve How about a baker’s dozen? Thirteen So, we know “dozen” and “baker’s dozen” are both words that represent numbers
Measuring Quantities How many donuts will we get if we ask for a mole? 6.02 x 1023 Or, 602 with 21 zeros after it! Since atoms are SO small we must count them in moles
The Mole A.K.A. the Avogadro Constant, named in honor of Amadeo Avogadro SI unit for amount of a substance Abbreviation is mol It is simply a WORD that represents a NUMBER
Converting Units 6.02 x 1023 particles = 1 mol Equality that can be used as a conversion factor Particles include atoms, molecules, etc. Ex: How many atoms are in 5.0 moles of tin (Sn)? 5.0 𝑚𝑜𝑙 𝑆𝑛 1 × 6.02× 10 23 𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑚𝑠 𝑆𝑛 1 𝑚𝑜𝑙 𝑆𝑛 =3.0× 10 24 𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑚𝑠 𝑆𝑛

Two-Step Problems A 12.0-gram sample of iron (III) oxide, Fe2O3, contains how many formula units? 6.02 x 1023 formula units = 1 mole 1 mole of Fe2O3 = 159.70 g (formula/molar mass) 12.0 𝑔 𝐹𝑒 2 𝑂 3 1 × 1 𝑚𝑜𝑙 𝐹𝑒 2 𝑂 3 159.70 𝑔 𝐹𝑒 2 𝑂 3 × 6.02× 10 23 𝑓𝑢𝑠 1 𝑚𝑜𝑙 𝐹𝑒 2 𝑂 3 = (12.0)(6.02× 10 23 ) 159.70 𝑓𝑢𝑠=4.52× 10 22 𝑓𝑢𝑠
Summary Use Avogadro’s number to convert between moles and particles 1 mol = 6.02 x 1023 particles for every substance Use molar mass to convert between moles and grams 1 mol = ___ grams Grams depends on substance
