The mole

The mole

The mole is the unit of amount in chemistry. A mole is 6.022 x 10 to the 23 power. A mole is similar to a dozen, because both are words used to describe a specific number of countable things. Avogadro calculated the number.

how you convert moles to grams and grams to moles

According to google "Moles to Grams Conversion Formula. In order to convert the moles of a substance to grams, you will need to multiply the mole value of the substance by its molar mass. More commonly written for this application as: where, is the molar mass of the substance."


Mole day

Mole day is Wednesday,October 23. According to moleday.org "Celebrated annually on October 23 from 6:02 a.m. to 6:02 p.m., Mole Day commemorates Avogadro's Number (6.02 x 1023), which is a basic measuring unit in chemistry. Mole Day was created as a way to foster interest in chemistry. Schools throughout the United States and around the world celebrate Mole Day with various activities related to chemistry and/or moles. For a given molecule, one mole is a mass (in grams) whose number is equal to the molar mass of the molecule. For example, the water molecule has an molar mass of 18, therefore one mole of water weighs 18 grams. Similarly, a mole of neon has a molar mass of 20 grams. In general, one mole of any substance contains Avogadro's Number of molecules or atoms of that substance. This relationship was first discovered by Amadeo Avogadro (1776-1858) and he received credit for this after his death."

The use of moles

According to google "Applications of the Mole. The mass of a mole of substance is called the molar massof that substance. The molar mass is used to convert grams of a substance to moles and is used often in chemistry. The molar mass of an element is found on the periodic table, and it is the element's atomic weight in grams/mole (g/mol). "

Molar Mass of Group one

Hydrogen 1.008 g/mol

Lithium 6.941 g/mol

sodium 22.99 g/mol

Potassium 39.098 g/mol

Rubidium 85.468 g/mol

Caesium 132.90545 g/mol

Francium 223 g/mol

Molar mass of Group 2

Li 6.94 g/mol

Be 9.01 g/mol

B 10 g/mol

C 12.01 g/mol

N 14.01 g/mol

O 16 g/mol

F 19 g/mol

Ne 20.18 g/mol

Calculate the molar masses of water, carbon dioxide, Sodium Chloride, Carbon monoxide, Hydrochloric acid and methane. Show work in your calculation. You need to search and write the Chemical formula of those compounds before you calculate the molar mass

18.01528 g/mol = 2.02 + 16 H2O

44.01 g/mol = 24.02 + 16 CO2

58.44 g/mol = 22.99 + 35.45 NaCl

28.01 g/mol = 12.01 + 16 CO

36.46 g/mol = 1.01 + 12.01 + 126.90 HCI

16.04 g/mol = 12.01 + 4.04 CH4

How big is the mole

The mole is very big because the mole contains so many units, they're most often used in chemistry is a way of measuring really really small things like atoms or molecules. So a mole of water is 6.02 x 1023 molecules of water, which works out to be about 18 grams, or 18 mL. Amole of aluminum is about 26 grams.
