What is a mole in chemistry?

Back

A mole is a unit of measurement used to express the amount of a substance. It is defined as the amount of substance that contains as many entities (atoms, molecules, etc.) as there are in 12 grams of carbon-12.

Front

How many particles are in one mole?

Back

One mole contains approximately 6.022 x 10^23 particles, known as Avogadro's number.

Front

What is molar mass?

Back

Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance, typically expressed in grams per mole (g/mol). It is calculated by summing the atomic masses of all atoms in a molecule.

Front

How do you calculate the number of moles from mass?

Back

Number of moles = mass (g) / molar mass (g/mol).

Front

What is the formula to find the mass of a substance from moles?

Back

Mass (g) = number of moles x molar mass (g/mol).

Front

What is the relationship between moles and volume for gases at STP?

Back

At standard temperature and pressure (STP), one mole of an ideal gas occupies 22.4 liters.

Front

How do you convert moles to grams?

Back

To convert moles to grams, multiply the number of moles by the molar mass of the substance.

Front

What is the significance of Avogadro's number?

Back

Avogadro's number allows chemists to count particles by weighing them, as it relates the macroscopic scale (grams) to the microscopic scale (individual atoms or molecules).

Front

How do you find the number of particles in a given number of moles?

Back

Number of particles = number of moles x Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23).

Front

What is the concept of limiting reactants in a chemical reaction?

Back

The limiting reactant is the substance that is completely consumed first in a chemical reaction, limiting the amount of product formed.
