What’s in a Mole? A mole of a substance is a unique measurement of quantity used in chemistry. 12 = dozen 1 ream = 500 sheets
What is molar mass? The mass in grams of 1 mole of a substance is called the molar mass (g/mol) of the substance. (* The molar mass is numerically equal to the formula Mass (amu).)
Converting between grams and moles You can determine the number of moles by setting up an equation using a conversion factor which is a fraction whose value is equal to 1. • If we are given the # of grams of a compound, you can determine the # of moles, & vise-versa. • In order to convert from one to the other you must first calculate molar mass.
g mol g/mol mol = g g/mol g = mol g/mol “The EquationTriangle”
Example:GRAMS MOLES (÷) A. The formula mass of sodium chloride (NaCl) is 58 amu (23 amu + 35 amu). The molar mass of NaCl is then 58 g/mol. If one mole of NaCl has a mass of 58 grams, how many moles of NaCl are in 11.2 gram samples?
