    The document defines and explains the mole concept which is used by chemists to conveniently quantify amounts of substances. It states that a mole is the amount of a substance that contains 6.023x1023 elementary units like atoms, molecules or formula units. It provides examples showing that 1 mole of oxygen contains 6.023x1023 oxygen molecules, 1 mole of NaCl contains 6.023x1023 formula units of NaCl with a mass of 58.44 grams, and the standard definition of a mole as the amount of a substance containing the same number of elementary units as 12 grams of carbon-12.

    The Mole Concept

    1 DOZEN
    THE MOLE
    • Moles is a Latin word meaning “ a mass”.
    • Chemists need a useful unit to predict the potential yield
    when treating an ore and to measure the amounts of
    reactants and products in the Lab and Industry.
    • The mole is a convenient unit that can be converted to
    grams, number of particles or in case of a gas to volume.
    A MOLE OF A COMPOUND
    1. 1 mole O2 contains 6.023× 10²³ oxygen molecules
    = 12.044× 10²³ oxygen atoms.

    2. A mole of NaCl contains 6.023× 10²³ formula units of NaCl with a mass of 58.44 .
    • A dozen of eggs is a pack of 12 eggs.
    • Similarly a mole of Gold is the quantity that
    contains 6.023× 10²³ gold atoms = a mass of
    197.0 grams.

    • A mole of sodium = 6.023× 10²³ sodium


    atoms
    •= a mass of 22.99 grams.

    • A mole of iron = 6.023× 10²³ iron atoms


    •= mass of 55.85 grams.
    DEFINE A MOLE

    A mole of a substance is that quantity which contains as many


    elementary units( atoms, molecules or formula units) as there
    are atoms in exactly 12 grams of c-12 isotope.
    CALCULATING NUMBER OF MOLES
    SOME CALCULATIONS
    •Q-  How many moles are present in 3.7× 10²³ molecules of Ammonia ?
    6.022× 10²³ molecules contained in 1 mole of NH3 .
    So 1 molecule contained in 1/ 6.022× 10²³ moles of NH3 .
    So 3.7 × 10²³ molecules contained in × 3.7 × 10²³
    = 0.614 moles of ammonia.
