The Mole

  • 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ particles (Avogadro's number)
  • A counting unit, like a dozen

Molar Mass

  • The mass of one mole, in grams per mole
  • Read it off the periodic table and add up the atoms
  • H₂O = 2(1.0) + 16.0 = 18 g/mol

Conversions

  • grams → moles: divide by molar mass
  • moles → grams: multiply by molar mass
  • moles → particles: multiply by 6.022 × 10²³

Method

  • Use dimensional analysis so the units cancel
