Understanding Atomic Mass, Avogadro's Number, and Moles

The video tutorial explains the concept of average atomic mass and its application in chemistry labs. It introduces Avogadro's number, a fundamental constant used to relate atomic mass units to grams. The tutorial also covers the concept of a mole, a unit representing a specific number of atoms or molecules, and demonstrates how to calculate the number of atoms in a sample using dimensional analysis and Avogadro's number.

What is the primary purpose of understanding average atomic mass in chemistry?

• To calculate the speed of chemical reactions

• To determine the color of compounds

• To connect atomic scale masses to lab-scale masses

• To predict the taste of chemical substances

Avogadro's number is used to convert atomic mass units to what?

• Seconds

• Grams

• Liters

• Meters

Who is Avogadro's number named after?

• Marie Curie

• Wilhelm Ostwald

• Dmitri Mendeleev

• Amadeo Avogadro

In chemistry, what does the term 'mole' refer to?

• A type of chemical reaction

• A unit of measurement for amount of substance

• A small animal

• A color change in a solution

The concept of a mole was first introduced by which chemist?

• Antoine Lavoisier

• Dmitri Mendeleev

• Wilhelm Ostwald

• Amadeo Avogadro

How many atoms are in one mole of a substance?

• 1.022 x 10^20

• 6.022 x 10^20

• 1.022 x 10^23

• 6.022 x 10^23

What is the first step in calculating the number of atoms in a sample of germanium?

• Convert milligrams to grams

• Multiply by Avogadro's number

• Find the volume of the sample

• Determine the color of germanium

What is the molar mass of germanium used in the example?

• 12.01 grams per mole

• 1.008 grams per mole

• 72.63 grams per mole

• 6.94 grams per mole

To find the number of atoms in a sample, after finding moles, you should:

• Subtract Avogadro's number

• Divide by Avogadro's number

• Multiply by Avogadro's number

• Add Avogadro's number

What is the approximate number of germanium atoms in the given example?

• 1.28 x 10^20

• 4.12 x 10^20

• 2.56 x 10^20

• 3.84 x 10^20
