Chapter 8: The Mole – Part 1

What is Avogadro’s favorite saying from American History?

The Mole

• A mole is Avogadro’s number of particles, that is 6.02 × 1023 particles.

1 mol = Avogadro’s Number = 6.02 × 1023 units

• This is the gram formula mass of water.

• This is the molar mass of water.

• The gram formula mass (molar mass) is the molecular mass of the substance in grams.

What is the mass of 1 mol sucrose (C12H22O11)

1 mol sucrose (C12H22O11) = 342.0g

• 12 x 12.0 = 144.0

• 22 x 1.0 = 22.0

• 11 x 16.0 = 176.0

gfm = 342.0 g
