Using Mass to Count Things
• Atoms are so tiny it is impossible to count number of atoms in even 1 gram of matter
• We use massmass to “count” atoms
Counting by mass
• a pile of nails weighs 1227 g
• one nail has mass of 0.450 grams
• How many nails are in pile?
1227g_____ = 2726.6 nails 0.450 g per nail
What is a mole?
No, not this kind of mole!
The MOLE
• Unit used to “count” numbers of atoms– Count-by-mass technique
• Defined as # of atoms in 12.0 grams of C-12 – This is the STANDARD!
• 12.0 g of C-12 has 6.0221415 X 1023 atoms
The MOLE
• 1 mole of any element has 6.02 X 1023 particles
• This is a really big number – It’s so big because atoms are really small!
6.02 X 1023 = Avogadro’s Number
• One mole of water = 6.02 X 1023 water molecules
• One mole of gorillas = 6.02 X 1023 gorillas
• One mole of He atoms = 6.02 X 1023 He atoms
• One mole of anything = 6.02 X 1023 of that thing

• ReamReam: 1 ream paper = 500 sheets of paper
• MoleMole: 1 mole Na atoms
= 6.02 X 1023 Na atoms

Molar mass for any element:
• molar mass of any element:– take atomic mass and replace a.m.u. with grams
• 1 mole Ne = 20.179 g = 6.02 X 1023 atoms
• 1 mole Ar = 39.948 g = 6.02 X 1023 atoms
• 1 mole Kr = 83.80 g = 6.02 X 1023 atoms
