The Mole Concept

Learning Competency:
S9MTIIi-19
Use the mole concept to
express mass of substances
Activity 1: Match Me
 

Direction: Match column A (measuring units) to


column B (equivalent number)
Column A Column B
1. 1 dozen of eggs A. 2
2. 1 gross of leaves B. 12
3. 1 ream of bond paper C. 20
4.1 pair of slippers D. 24
5. 1 quire of writing paper E. 144

• The word mole means different
things to different people.
 To some, it’s that little creature
that burrows underground
 For others, it’s that birthmark one
has above the lips or on the cheek.

 For chemists, mole is the atom’s


unit of measurement.
The dictionary defines the mole as the
unit of amount in chemistry.
 The 1971 General conference on
Weighs and Measures officially
defined the mole as “the amount of a
substance of a system which contains as
many elementary entities as there are
atoms in 0.012 kg of carbon-12.”
 The mole represents the number 6.02
x1023. This means that one mole of any
substance contains 6.02x1023 particles.
 This constant number is also known as
Avogadro’s constant, in honor of
Amedeo Avogadro, an Italian physicist
who proposed in1811 that equal
volumes of various gases contain equal
numbers of molecules if kept at the
same temperature.
 One mole of a substance:
 consists of 6.02x1023 particles of that
substance;
 has the same number of particles as
exactly 12 grams of carbon-12;
 has a mass equivalent to atomic,
molecular or formula mass of the
substance expressed in grams.
Example:
1. Caffeine is the stimulant found in
coffee, tea and chocolate. It is used in the
formulation of some analgesic and
antipyretic tablets. Its molecular formula
is C8H10N4O2. In 50.0 grams of caffeine,
how many molecules are present?
2. Calculate the number of particles present in
the following substances:
a. 0.25 mol NO2 ( molecules NO2)
b. 7.15 mol NH3 (molecules NH3)
c. 48.0 g O2 (molecules O2)
3. Determine the mass in grams of the
following substances:
d. 1.25 mol Mg
e. 0.692 mol C8H18
f. 3.01 x1023 molecules of Al(NO3)3

1. A cancer patient needs to increase his
ascorbic acid (C6H8O6) intake to fight
cancer cells.
a. How many moles of ascorbic acid does he
need to complete the doctor’s prescription of
13.00 g of intravenous ascorbic acid every
day?
b. How many molecules of ascorbic acid does
he need everyday to fight the cancer cells?
2. Aspartame (C14H18N2O5) is
synthetic table sugar substitute in
food and drinks. If a food product
needs 0.25g of C14H18N2O5 to sweeten
the cupcake, and you ate this food
product, how many molecules of
aspartame have you eaten?
3. During exercise, lactic acid,
(C3H6O3) forms in the muscles
causing muscle cramps. If 5.0 g of
lactic acid concentrate in your leg
muscles, how many moles of lactic
acid are causing you pain?
4. Paraffin ( C22H46)is a wax used
in candle making. During
combustion, a 20.0g candle
produces 1.42 moles of CO2. How
many molecules of CO2 are
released in the atmosphere after
using the candle?
