Concept
One mole of a substance contains 6.02 X 1023 particles of that substance. The particles can be atoms, molecules or ions. Note: The number 6.02 X 1023 is also known as Avogadro's Number (Avogadro's Constant). Click here for more information on Avogadro's Number. Examples One mole of oxygen atoms contains 6.02 X 1023 oxygen atoms One mole of oxygen molecules contains 6.02 X 1023 oxygen molecules One mole of oxygen ions contains 6.02 X 1023 oxygen ions

The mass of one mole of any substance is called the molar mass. (A) One mole of an element (atoms) has a mass that is equal to its Relative ATOMICMass in grams ( see Table 1) (B) One mole of a substance (compound or molecules) has a mass that is equal to its Relative MOLECULAR Mass in grams ( see Table 2)

Applies to gases only. One mole ANY gas at rtp ( 25 degrees Celsius and 1 atmosphere ) occupies a volume of 24 dm3 or 24,000 cm3. This volume is called themolar gas volume at rtp. ( see Table 3 )

Table 1
Element Magnesium Iron Carbon Nitrogen Relative Atomic Mass 24 56 12 14 Mass of 1 mole of element 24 grams 56 grams 12 grams 14 grams Number of atoms present in 1 mole of element 6.02 X 1023 6.02 X 1023 6.02 X 1023 6.02 X 1023

From the above, we can deduce that equal numbers of moles of any element always contain the same number of atoms. For eg: - 1 mole of Iron atoms contains the same number of atoms as 1 mole of Nitrogen atoms. - 5 moles of Calcium atoms contain the same number of atoms as 5 moles of Hydrogen atoms

From the above, we can deduce that equal numbers of moles of any substance (molecules or compounds) always contain the same number of molecules. For eg: - 1 mole of chlorine gas contains the same number of molecules as 1 mole of carbon dioxide gas. - 1 mole of nitrogen gas contains the same number of molecules as 1 mole of water molecules.

Table 3
The concept of molar gas volume is derived from Avogadro's Law which states that equal volumes of gases contain the same number of molecules, under the same conditions of temperature and pressure. For eg., at rtp, 100 cm3 of hydrogen gas contains the same number of molecules as 100 cm3 of carbon dioxide gas.

The following are formulae often employed in mole concept calculations

1. Number of moles of atoms (or element ) = mass (g) / RAM 2. Number of moles of molecules (or compound ) = mass (g) / RMM 3. Concentration of a solution = mole / volume
Units of volume to be in dm3 . Hence, units of concentration are mol/dm3.
