1. Discussion: The Mole
Objective: To understand the mole concept and how it is related to the more familiar dozen.

2. The Dozen How do you convert a number like 54 to dozen?
we divide by 12
How do we convert dozens to numbers?
Multiply by 12

3. Counting atoms
How many atoms are there in a single molecule of

4. The dozen is not used to measure atoms
Why would we not measure atoms in dozen?
They are to small
The quantity used to express how many in atoms is the mole.
It is equal to 6.02 x 1023

5. 6.02 x 1023 Which, if not written in scientific notation is
Mole = 602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Dozen = 12
Dozen = 1.2 x 101
Mole = 6.02 x 1023

6. How many BB are in 2.5 dozen?
If we wanted to find the number of baseballs in 2.5 dozen we would
multiply _____ by _____ = ______

7. How many atoms are in 2.5 moles of sodium?
If we wanted to find the number of atoms of sodium in 2.5 moles we would
Multiply 2.5 by 6.02 x 1023 = x 1024

8. How many atoms are in 0.5 moles of calcium?
0.5 x 6.02 x 1023 = 3.01x 1023
Another way
0.5 mol

9. Convert 5.6 x 1023 molecules of oxygen to moles

10. How to find the mass of one mole of an element
To find the mass of one mole of sodium we look on the periodic table.
1.00 mole Na = 23.0 grams
4.2 moles
4.2 x 23 = 96.6

11. Calculate the formula mass of the compounds below
CuCO (3 x 16) = 123.5
Ba(NO3)2 = x x 16 =
Ca3(PO4)2
Sodium chloride
Iron(III) oxide
Fe2O3 2 x x 16 =

12. Find the equality for the compounds below
1.00 mole CuCO3 = 123.5g
5.0 grams CuCO3
moles CuCO3
