Here it is again: one mole of ANY specified entity contains x of that entity. For example: n One mole of donuts contains x donuts n One mole of H2O contains x molecules n One mole of nails contains x nails n One mole of Fe contains x atoms n One mole of dogs contains x dogs n One mole of electrons contains x electrons

Jump to first page What is molar mass ? n The mass in grams of 1 mole of a substance n When we weigh one mole of a substance on a balance, this is called a "molar mass" and has the units g/mol (grams per mole). This idea is very critical because it is used all the time.

Jump to first page Conversion factors n Give two conversion factors for the molar masses of the following Na Br 2 Ba(OH) 2 1 mol Na 22.99g Na 22.99g Na 1 mol 1 mol Br g Br g Br 2 1 mol Br 2 1 mol Ba(OH) g Ba(OH) g Ba(OH) 2 1 mol Ba(OH) 2
