How do we measure matter?• What if I wanted to know how many ATOMS
were in this copper penny? Would you like to count? Could you?
Avogadro’s Number• You can count particles if you introduce a term
that represents a specified number of particles.
• In chemistry, the term used to express a specific number of particles is a mole.
Avogadro’s Number• 1 mole = 6.02 x 1023 particles
• That’s 602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
• A very large number!
Avogadro’s Number
This number is known as Avogadro’s number, named after Amedeo Avogadro (an Italian physicist and mathematician).
1 mole of hockey pucks would equal the mass of 1 mole of hockey pucks would equal the mass of the moon!the moon!
1 mole of pennies would cover the Earth 1/4 mile 1 mole of pennies would cover the Earth 1/4 mile deep!deep!

MOLE• A mole is the SI unit that measures the
amount of a substance.
• A mole can be related to: • number of particles•mass• volume of a gas
mass in grams using the periodic

MOLE• Use dimensional analysis to convert:
– moles to molecules– moles to atoms– moles to formula units– moles to grams– grams to atoms– and many more….
MOLEWhen converting between moles and particles, the conversion factor to remember is:
1 mol = 6.02 x 1023 particles
The particle unit can be atoms, molecules, or formula units.

Molar Mass
molar mass – the mass in grams of one mole of an element or compound.
Terms that Describe the Mass of a Substance
• Atomic mass – mass of one atom of an element (unit = amu)
• Molecular mass - mass of one molecule of a covalent compound (unit = amu)
• Formula mass - mass of one formula unit of an ionic compound (unit = amu)
• Molar mass - mass of one mole of an element or compound (unit = g/mol).
Molar MassTo calculate molar mass:
1. Obtain all of the masses of the involved elements from the periodic table.
2. Multiply each element’s mass by the subscript.3. Add the resulting products.4. Round the answer to the proper number of
decimal places.

Molar Volume of a Gas
• The volume of a gas changes as the temperature and pressure change, so the volume is usually measured at standard temperature and pressure.
• STP = abbreviation for standard temperature and pressure
• Standard temperature = 0oC = 273 K• Standard pressure = 1 atm or 101.3 kPa
Molar Volume of a Gas
• At STP, one mole of any gas occupies the same volume: 22.4 L.
