What is a Mole?  A small rodent-like animal that burrows underground  A double-agent  A dark growth on a person’s body  It is all of these things and more…

The Chemist’s Dozen  How many in a couple?  How many in a few?  How many in a dozen?  How many in a ream?

The Chemist’s Dozen  The mole is the chemist’s dozen  1 mole = 6.02 x particles  That is 602 sextillion  Or   This is called Avogadro’s number

Avogadro’s Number  Like a dozen, a mole is used to measure the amount of a substance.  If you have 1 dozen donuts, you have 12 donuts.  If you have 1 mole of donuts, you have 6.02 x donuts x donuts.  In chemistry, the mole is commonly used to count atoms, ions, formula units and molecules.

How Big Is It?  If you could travel at the speed of light, how long would it take to travel 6.02 x miles?  It would take more than 100 billion years to travel a mole of miles.

 How long would it take for 6.02 x drops of water to pass over Niagara Falls?  years years How Big Is It?

 If one mole of dollars were divided among six billion people on Earth, how much money would each person have?  Each person would have enough money to spend a million dollars every minute day and night for as long as we lived and still have more than half of it left.

The Mole and Mass  The molar mass of a substance is the mass of 6.02 x particles of that substance.  The molar mass of an element is equal to the atomic mass in g/mol.  The molar mass of a compound is equal to the sum of the atomic mass of all the elements present in g/mol.

Molar Mass  Find the molar mass of:  FePt  C 12 H 22 O 11 Ca(NO 3 ) 3

Relating Moles to Mass  To calculate the mass represented by a certain number of moles of a substance, we use the relationship:  Where n= moles (mol) m = mass (g) M = molar mass (g/mol) m = n M

Finding moles…  How many moles are represented by 56.2g of Cu?

Finding Mass…  Calculate the mass of 6.72 mol of Na 2 CO 3.
