The mole concept is a convenient method of expressing the amount of a substance. Any measurement can be
broken down into two parts – the numerical magnitude and the units that the magnitude is expressed in. For
example, when the mass of a ball is measured to be 2 kilograms, the magnitude is ‘2’ and the unit is ‘kilogram’.
When dealing with particles at an atomic (or molecular) level, even one gram of a pure element is known to
contain a huge number of atoms. This is where the mole concept is widely used. It primarily focuses on the unit
known as a ‘mole’, which is a count of a very large number of particles.

Reminders:
 Mole is the SI unit used to measure the amount of substance whose number of
particles is the same as the number of atoms of carbon in exactly 12g of Carbon-12
 Avogadro’s number is the number of representative particles in a
mole (6.02x1023)
 Atom is the smallest particle of an element
 Moles can be used to count “representative particles:” atoms, molecules, ions, and
formula units.
 The representative particle of an ionic compound is the formula unit.
 The representative particle of a covalent compound is the molecule.
 The representative particle of an element is the atom.

The number 6.02214076 x 1023  is popularly known as the Avogadro constant or Avogadro’s number and is
often denoted by the symbol ‘NA’. The elementary entities that can be represented in moles can be atoms, molecules,
monoatomic/polyatomic ions, and other particles (such as electrons).
For example, one mole of a pure carbon-12 ( 12C) sample will have a mass of exactly 12 grams and will
contain 6.02214076 x 1023 (NA) number of  12C atoms. The number of moles of a substance in a given pure sample can
be represented by the following formula:
n = N/NA

Where n is the number of moles of the substance (or elementary entity), N is the total number of
elementary entities in the sample, and NA is the Avogadro constant.
Note:
The word “mole” was introduced around the year 1896 by the German chemist Wilhelm
Ostwald, who derived the term from the Latin word moles meaning a ‘heap’ or ‘pile.

The number of moles of a molecule may not always be equal to the number of moles of its constituent
elements. For example, a mole of water contains NA number of H2O molecules. However, each water molecule
contains 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Therefore, one mole of H 2O contains 2 moles of hydrogen and
one mole of oxygen.

Sample Problem:
How many molecules are there in 4.0 moles NaCl (Table Salt)?

To answer this question, you have to consider this:


1 mole = 6.02 x 1023 particles

Using the dimensional analysis approach, you will be able to convert the number of moles to its
equivalent amount in the number of particles.

6.02 x 1023 molecules of NaCl = 2.41 x 1024 molecules NaCl


4.0 moles NaCl (table Salt) x
1 mole NaCl

Atomic Mass and Molecular Mass

The atomic mass of an element is the mass of one atom of the element expressed in atomic mass units
(amu). It accounts for the abundance of the various isotopes of the element and assigns an average value to the
mass of one atom of the element.For example, the atomic mass of carbon is 12.011 atomic mass units since
carbon samples generally contain 98.89% of the carbon-12 isotope, 1.11% of carbon-13, and trace amounts of
carbon-14. However, the atomic masses of these isotopes are different.
The atomic mass of a carbon-12 atom is 12 atomic mass units, but that of a carbon-13 atom is 13 amu.
The atomic mass of an element is roughly equal to the sum of all the protons and neutrons present in its nucleus.
The molecular mass of an element is the sum of the atomic masses of all its constituent elements. This
quantity is also represented in terms of atomic mass units. Therefore, the molecular mass of water is equal to the
sum of the atomic masses of its constituents – hydrogen and oxygen. The atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.00794 amu
and that of oxygen is 15.9994. Since water molecules contain 2 hydrogen atoms and only one oxygen atom, the
molecular mass of H2O is 18.0154 amu.

Molar Mass
The molar mass of a substance is defined as the total mass of one mole of the substance. It is often represented in
terms of ‘grams per mole’ (g/mol). However, the SI unit of this quantity is kg/mol. Molar mass can be represented
by the following formula:

Molar mass of a Substance = (Mass of the Substance in grams)/(Number of Moles)

For example, the molar mass of water is approximately 18.015 g/mol, which is the mass of NA number of water
molecules.

Steps to follow to calculate for the molar mass:

1. Identify the elements in the


compound.

2. Determine the number of atoms


of each element.

3. Write the atomic mass of


each element.

4. Multiply the atomic mass with the


number of atoms.

5. Get the sum of the product


in g/mole.

Example: NaCl Na 1 23.00 58.45


Cl 1 35.45
