What is a mole?


The ‘mole’ is the SI unit for the measurement of large numbers of minute particles.

Number of particles in 1 mol is

6.02 x 1023     …….

Symbol =AN.

= 602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

This is named Avagadro number.



Fig.1 Mass of a mole.

 Avagadoro number:- Avogadro number is equal to the number of atoms in 12 grams of the isotope  Carbon-12


A simple way to look at it.

If you take the atomic mass of any element measured in grams it can be considered as

1 mole of atoms..

Or

If you take the molecular mass of a chemical in grams, it will have 1 mole of molecules.

Similarly you can take one mole of cat-ions or an-ions and even a mole of photons.

  •   The symbol for mole is - 'mol'.

Table 1.

This table gives the mass of 1 mole of some elements and the number of particles in each..

 Mass 12 g 16 g 32 g 35.5 g 207

Table 2.

This table gives the number of molecules in 1 mole.

Table 3.

This table gives the number of radicals in 1 mole.

 Radical H+ OH- SO4-- Mass of electrons is negligible
 Mass 1 g 17 g. 96 g. 
 # Radicals AN AN AN 


If you are fond of formulae:-

 
 

Molarity...."M'

This is a unit to show the strength or the concentration of solutions. This is usually given as the number of solute moles dissolved in a litre of a solution.

If one ltre of a salt NaCl , solution contains 1 mole of salt; (That is 58.5 g), its molarity will be 1 mol/L ( L for litre)


A few questions to practice.

Find the no. of moles and the no. of molecules in    800g.. of anhydrous Copper sulphate.  

Answer:

Molar mass of CuSO4    =   64+ 32+ 64   =  160g./mol.

160 g.…………………………..1  mol.

 4)  A 3M solution was diluted by adding an equal volume of distilled water. What probably is the Molarity of the new solution. 
 When volume is doubled concentration should reduce to half.
1/2 0f 3 = 1.5mol/L
 
 5)  A molar solution was evaporated , preventing any chemical changes due to heat. The readings were as follows:-
       Original volume.........................100 ml
       Volume after evaporation ............80 ml
       What is the molarity of the original solution and the resulting solution..
No. of moles in 100ml. original solution  = 1/10 moles.
After evaporation 80 ml has =1/10 moles.
1000ml will
            have 0.1 x1000/80
1.25mol/L          or
m1V1  = m2 V2
1 x100 = m 80
