MOLE CONCEPT

What I Need to Know


A mole is a quantity that allows chemists to convert from the atomic scale to macroscopic
scale. In reality, pieces of matter are quantified by measuring its mass and counting it. In the market,
we cannot buy some products like mongo or rice by just counting it because of its size but rather
getting its mass. It is easier for us to do things in getting its mass rather than counting especially in
small items.

At the end of the lesson, you will be able to know about mole concept. Specifically, after going through this
module, you will be able to:
1. Relate the mole concept to Avogadro’s number
2. Apply the mole concept to represent particles and vice versa.
3. Apply the mole concept in getting mass or vice versa in every routine

Have you ever try to count every granule of rice in your kitchen? 0r even sell a chicken eggs
individually? Not that easy right? The above pictures show how hard to count small things in this
world.
• Pair, 2 (dice, people) • Gross, 144 (pencils, straws, etc.)
• Dozen, 12 (eggs, donuts, etc.) • Ream, 500 (paper)
• Score, 20 (Gettysburg Address) • Gig or Giga, 1 billion (GigaByte)
• Century, 100 (years)

Give another example _______.


Can we measure or handle a dozen, gross, or Giga of atoms?
To figure out the countless things in this world we used MOLE. Did you know that one ream
of paper is 500 pieces of it? Not so. Another one, pair of shoes is 2 pieces of same shoes. This is a
techniques used in order to easily understood and visualize the things in real life.
The idea of having an enormous number of things that surround them is hard to understand
by learners that is why we need to give concrete activities which will give them an idea on how it is
being done in real life scenario.

Matching Type: Match Column A (measuring units) to Column B (equivalent number).


Column A Column B
_____1. 1 dozen of eggs a. 2
_____2. 1 gross of leaves b. 20
_____3. 1 ream of bond paper c. 144
_____4. 1 pair of slippers d. 24
_____5. 1 quire of writing paper e. 500
_____6. 1 score of peanut seeds f. 12

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.

Illustration:
To visualize the concept here is a mole of popcorn seeds compared to the salt cube:

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.

2.41 x 1024 molecules NaCl


4.0 moles NaCl (table Salt) x6.02 x 1023 molecules of NaCl =
1 mole NaCl
