What is a Mole?
A mole of a substance is 6.02 x 1023 representative particles of that substance.
The number of particles in a mole (6.02 x 1023) is called Avogadro’s number.
The Mass of a Mole of an Element
The mass of a mole of an element is its molar mass.
The Mole-Volume Relationship
At STP 1 mol, or 6.02 x 1023 representative particles, of any gas occupies a volume of 22.4 L.
Standard temperature and pressure (STP) means a temperature of 0C and a pressure of 1 atmosphere.

Empirical Formulas
The empirical formula of a compound gives the lowest whole-number mole ratio of the atoms of the elements in a compound.
Molecular Formulas
The molecular formula of a compound is either the same as its experimentally determined empirical formula, or it is a simple whole-number multiple of its empirical formula.
