Introduction
The atoms, molecules or formula units are the entities that react with one another, so we would like to know the numbers of them that we mix together.
But how can we possibly count entities that are so small ? To do this, chemists have devised a unit called the MOLE to count chemical entities by weighing them.

MATTER
One mole of carbon-12 atom has a mass of exactly 12.000 grams and contains 6.02 x 1023 atoms.
The value 6.02 x 1023 is known as Avogadro Constant. NA = 6.02 x 1023 mol-1
The term mole, just like a pair or dozen, refers to a particular number of things. one pair one dozen one mole = = = 2 12 6.02 x 1023
Avogadro constant (NA) The number of atoms in a 12 gram sample of carbon-12 (1 mole) is called Avogadro constant (symbol NA )

Molar mass
The molar mass of a substance is the mass of one mole of the substance in grams
Molar Mass
The mass of 1 mole (in grams)
Equal to the numerical value of the average atomic mass (Z, nucleon number = no. of proton + no. of neutron) 1 mole of C atoms = 12.0 g = 6.02 1023 atoms C 1 mole of Mg atoms = 24.0 g = 6.02 1023 atoms Mg 1 mole of Cu atoms = 63.5 g = 6.02 1023 atoms Cu
Molar mass
Counting atoms/molecules by weighing, Moles represent number of atoms/molecules, since atoms are small it is impossible to count them. By weighing the substances we are able to work with a known number of particles.

Gases
Many of the chemicals we deal with, are gases. They are difficult to weigh. Two factors affect the volume of gas: i) temperature (T) ii) pressure (P)
Molar volume
Avogadro s law states that : At the same temperature and pressure, equal volumes of gases contain equal number of atoms/molecules.
At s.t.p (T = 0o C , P = 1 atm)
1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 dm3 (22.4 L) 22.4 dm3 mol-1 is known as the molar volume.
