Overview
Moles and molar mass are fundamental concepts in chemistry that help us quantify substances. A mole allows chemists to count particles by weighing them, while molar mass provides a way to convert between mass and amount of substance. Understanding these concepts is crucial for performing calculation...
Key Terms
Example: One mole of water contains 6.022 x 10²³ water molecules.
Example: The molar mass of carbon dioxide (CO₂) is about 44 g/mol.
Example: One mole of any substance contains Avogadro's number of particles.
Example: Stoichiometry helps determine how much product can be made from given reactants.
Example: The atomic mass of hydrogen is about 1.01 amu.
Example: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O is a balanced equation for water formation.
