THE MOLE CONTENTS What is a mole and

THE MOLE CONTENTS • What is a mole and why do we use it? • Calculating the number of moles of a single substance • Reacting mass calculations

THE MOLE Before you start it would be helpful to… • know how to balance simple equations • know how to re-arrange mathematical formulae DON’T BE LEFT IN THE DARK!

THE MOLE WHAT IS A MOLE ? it is the standard unit of amount of a substance it is just a number, a very big number it is a way of saying a number in words, just like. . . DOZEN for 12 SCORE for 20 GROSS for 144

DOZEN for 12 SCORE for 20 GROSS for 144 HOW BIG IS IT ? 60220000000000 (Approximately). . . THAT’S It is a lot easier to write it as. . . BIG !!! 6. 022 x 1023

DOZEN for 12 SCORE for 20 GROSS for 144 HOW BIG IS IT ? 60220000000000 (Approximately). . . THAT’S It is a lot easier to write it as. . . It is also known as. . . BIG !!! 6. 022 x 1023 AVOGADRO’S NUMBER It doesn’t matter what the number is as long as everybody sticks to the same value !

THE MOLE WHY USE IT ? Atoms and molecules don’t weigh much so it is easier to count large numbers of them. In fact it is easier to weigh substances. Using moles tells you. . . how many particles you get in a certain mass the mass of a certain number of particles DO I NEED TO KNOW ANYTHING ELSE ? Yes, it would help if you can balance equations AND Keep trying, you will get the idea. . . EVENTUALLY!

THE MOLE – AN OVERVIEW WHAT IS IT? The standard unit of amount of a substance just as the standard unit of length is a METRE It is just a number, a very big number It is also a way of saying a number in words like DOZEN for 12 GROSS for 144
