Mole Supplemental Worksheet

This document contains a worksheet about moles with questions estimating and then calculating quantities related to a mole of different substances. The worksheet asks students to estimate and then look up data to calculate: the number of times a mole of xenon atoms strung like beads would reach to the sun and back; the mass of a mole of eight-year-old children compared to the earth; the volume of a mole of coconuts compared to the earth; and the radius of a planet with the same surface area as a mole of notebook paper pages.

How Big is a Mole?

Name: ___________________________

Supplemental Worksheet
Date: _______________________
Part 1: Estimate an answer for each question. State any assumptions, and show all work. Pay
attention to units!
1. If you could string up a mole of xenon atoms like beads on a necklace, how many times would
the necklace reach to the sun and back?

2. Compare the mass of a mole of eight year old children compare to the mass of the earth.

3. Compare the volume of a mole of coconuts to the volume of the earth.

4. What would be the radius of a planet whose surface area is equal to the area of a mole of
notebook paper pages?

Part 2: Look up the necessary starting data, then calculate the answer for each question. Report
results to two (2) significant figures. Show all work. Pay attention to units! Once completed,
compare your estimates from page 1 to your calculated answers.
