THE “MOLE” A Mole (mol) is a unit of measurement used for counting very small things (atoms, molecules, etc.) A mole of something is similar to a dozen of something 1 dozen elephants = 12 elephants 1 dozen pencils = 12 pencils 1 dozen chemistry students = 12 chemistry students How are 1 dozen elephants similar to 1 dozen pencils? 1 Mole = 6.02 x 1023 of anything Or 602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Also known as Avogadro’s Number 1 mole of elephants = 6.02 x 1023 elephants 1 mole of pencils = 6.02 x 1023 pencils 1 mole of chem students = 6.02 x 1023 chem students Or, 1 mole of copper atoms = 6.02 x 1023 copper atoms 1 mole of oxygen atoms = 6.02 x 1023 oxygen atoms How is 1 mole of copper similar to 1 mole of oxygen ? How are they different?

Moles and Mass: Atomic and Formula Mass
If 1 mole of an element = (6.02 x 1023 of that element) What would 1 mole of an element weigh? Look on the Periodic Table! The atomic mass given on the periodic table is = grams per mol ( 𝒈 𝟏 𝒎𝒐𝒍 ) or grams in 1 mole! For example: A) Elements and the Mole (Atomic mass): 1 mole of H atoms weigh = grams 2 moles of H atoms weigh = (2 x ) = grams 1 mole of O atoms weigh = grams B) Formulas and the Mole (Formula Mass) : 1 mole of water (H2O) would weigh? H = (2 x ) = grams + 1 O = grams grams

2 moles of H2 + 1 mole of O2 → 2 moles of H2O
C) Chemical Equations and the Mole: 2 H2 + 1O2 → 2 H2O The coefficients = quantity of each reactant and product in MOLES! So the above equation really says……. 2 moles of H2 + 1 mole of O2 → 2 moles of H2O So, how much would 2 moles of water weigh? 1 mole of water (H2O) weighs = grams 2 H = (2 x ) = grams + 1 O = _ grams grams
