Mole
• The mole is a large number: 6.02 x 1023
• This number is called Avogadro’s number
• We use this number to count things in
chemistry
• The word mole is abbreviated to mol
• n is the symbol used to represent the number
of moles
The exact definition of a mole is the amount of a
substance that contains the same number of
chemical species as there are atoms in exactly
12g of the isotope carbon-12.
Avogadro’s constant (L) has the value 6.02x1023
particles per mole.
The mole is the chemist’s counting unit.
It contains 6.02 x 1023 particles of a substance.
Example: 1 dozen = 12 of something
1 mole = 6.02 x 1023 of something

How many moles are there in 1.00g of NaCl?
M(NaCl) = 22.990 + 35.453 = 58.443g/mol
m(NaCl) = 1.00g
n(NaCl) = m/M = 1g/58.443g/mol
= 0.0171mol NaCl
How many grams are there in 2.00 moles of
H2O?
n=m/M so m=nM
m = 2.00 mol x 18.015g/mol = 36.0g H2O
