The Mole
1 dozen eggs = 12 eggs
Conversion factors make measurements easier to deal with! 1 dozen eggs = 12 eggs
1 dozen eggs = 12 eggs 1 mole = 6.02 x 1023 atoms
1 mole = 6.02x1023 atoms, molecules, or particles = 602, , , , , , , 000 000 000 000 000 000 000
Who’s responsible for this madness?! 1 mole = 6.02 x 1023 atoms Amedeo Avogadro
The mole provides chemists with an easy way of figuring out how many atoms/molecules/or particles of a substance are in a sample. 1 mole of He = 6.02 x 1023 atoms of He 1 mole of Al = 6.02 x 1023 atoms of Al 1 mole of Ar = 6.02 x 1023 atoms of Ar
