Definition of moles
Number of carbon atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12
1 mole = 6.02 x 10^23 particles
Avogadro's number = 6.02 x 10^23

Definition of a mole
Amount of a substance containing Avogadro's number of atoms, ions, molecules, or any other chemical unit
1 mole of C-12 atoms = 12.00 g
Page 5
Mole calculations
1 mole = 6.02 x 10^23 objects (atoms, molecules)
Examples:
1 mol 12C atoms = 6.02 x 10^23 12C atoms
1 mol H2O molecules = 6.02 x 10^23 molecules
1 mole NO3- ions = 6.02 x 10^23 NO3- ions

The mole as a practical unit
Number of atoms in 12.000 grams of 12C
1 mol = grams / formula weight
Moles provide a practical unit for measuring atoms, ions, and molecules
Page 7
Weighing moles
Moles cannot be directly weighed
Grams are used to measure moles
Different number of grams needed to have the same number of molecules
Page 8
Moles and masses
Atoms have different sizes and masses
Mole of atoms of one type has a different mass than a mole of atoms of another type
Examples of atomic masses: H - 1.008 u, O - 16.00 u, Mo - 95.94 u, Pb - 207.2 u
Page 9
Masses of atoms and molecules
Atomic mass: average, relative mass of an atom in an element
Atomic mass unit (u): arbitrary mass unit for atoms
Molecular or formula mass: total mass for all atoms in a compound
Page 10
Molar masses
Mass of one unit: use u
Mass of one mole of units: use grams/mole
Numbers don't change, only the units
Page 11
Molar mass
Atomic mass of a substance expressed in grams corresponds to 1 mol of the substance
Molar mass of a diatomic substance is twice its atomic mass
Page 12
Generic term for the mass of one mole
Same as gram molecular mass, gram formula mass, and gram atomic mass

Gases are difficult to weigh, so we need to know the number of moles of gas
Two factors that affect the volume of a gas: temperature and pressure
Comparison should be made at the same temperature and pressure
Page 38
Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP): 0ºC and 1 atm pressure
At STP, 1 mole of gas occupies 22.7 L (molar volume)
Avogadro's Hypothesis: equal volumes of gas at the same temperature and pressure have the same number of particles
Page 39
Molar Volume at STP = 22.7 L
Avogadro's Theory: two gases containing equal numbers of molecules occupy equal volumes under similar conditions
STP: 0°C and 1 atm
Page 40
Examples:
Calculate the volume of 4.59 moles of CO2 gas at STP
Calculate the number of moles in 5.67 L of O2 gas at STP
