What is a mole? • A mole is a quantity equal to the number of atoms in exactly 12g of carbon-12. • Remember that the relative atomic mass is always based on the comparison of any atom to the carbon atom.
What is its symbol? • Symbol: mol • 12g of C-12 = 1 mol of C-12 • The Atomic mass of C-12 = 12 amu = 12g/mol This is called the MOLAR MASS
