MOLE CONCEPT AND MOLAR MASS - (Concept)

Mole:

  • A mole is a unit that represents 6.023 x 1023 particles, atoms, molecules or ions, etc., irrespective of their nature.

  • Mole is related to the mass of the substance, the volume of gaseous substance and the number of particles

  • \mathrm{Mole = \frac{W}{M} = \frac{\textrm{(Wt. of substance in gm.) }}{(\textrm{Molar mass of substance (G.m.m)})}}

Here G.m.m. = Gram molecular mass or molar mass which is the mass of 1 mole of any substance

  • \mathrm{Mole = \frac{(\textrm{Volume of substance in litre}) }{22.4\ litre}}

  • The volume of one mole of any gas is equal to 22.4 litres or dm3 at STP. It is known as molar volume.

  • \mathrm{Mole = \frac{\textrm{Number of identities}}{\textrm{Avogadro's number}}}

 

 

Relationship of Mole:

 A mole of any substance (like O2) stands for: 

  • 6.023 x 1023  molecules of O2 

  • 2 x 6.023 x 1023 atoms of Oxygen 

  • 32 gm of Oxygen

  • 22.4 litre of O2 at STP.

 

To Find the Total Number of Identities:

  1. Total number of Molecule = mole(n) x NA

  2. Total number of Atoms = mole (n) x NA x No. of atoms present in one molecule (atomicity).

  3. Total number of Electrons = mole (n) x NA  x No. of electron present in one atom.

  4. Total charge on any ion = mole (n) x NA x charge on one ion x 1.6 x 10-19 C
