Definition of a mole

• A mole (mol) refers to Avogadro's number of particles of

any substance.

• 1 mole = 6.02 x 1023 particles (atoms, ions, molecules)

• 1 mole of an element = the average atomic mass of the

element from the periodic table (in grams)

• 1 mole of a compound = the sum of the masses of all

elements in the compound.

• 1 mole of a gas = 22.4 L

Calculating molar mass

•1 mole of an element = the average atomic mass of the element
from the periodic table

•(in grams).

•Round periodic table masses to two decimal places

•Example: What is the molar mass of:

•

oxygen?

hydrogen?

sodium?

Drag and Drop

True

Calculating molar mass

• The subscripts in a chemical formula tell

you the number of moles of each element in
one mole of a compound.

• Example: 1 mole of H 2O2 contains ______

moles of H and _____ moles of O.

Calculating Formula Mass

Calculate the formula mass of carbon
dioxide, CO2.

12.01 g + 2(16.00 g) = 44.01 g

∴ One mole of CO2 (6.02 x 1023 molecules)
has a mass of 44.01 grams

Multiple Choice

How many moles of Oxygen are in sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄)?

• 8 moles

• 1 mole

• 4 moles

• 2 moles

Calculating molar mass

• To find the molar for a compound, multiply the subscript by the mass for
  that element, then add all masses together.

Example: H2O2

Example: Ca(NO3)2
