What is the definition of a mole in chemistry?
A mole is a unit of measurement that represents 6.022 x 10^23 particles, such as atoms or molecules.

True
Fill in the blank: The number of particles in one mole is known as ______.
Avogadro’s number
What is the molar mass of an element?
The molar mass of an element is the mass of one mole of that element in grams.
How do you calculate the number of moles from mass?
Number of moles = mass (g) / molar mass (g/mol)
What is the molar mass of carbon (C)?
The molar mass of carbon is approximately 12.01 g/mol.
Multiple Choice: What is the molar mass of water (H2O)? A) 18.02 g/mol B) 16.00 g/mol C) 20.00 g/mol
A) 18.02 g/mol
True or False: The mole can be used to convert between mass and number of particles.
True
What is the relationship between moles and molecules for a gas at standard temperature and pressure (STP)?
At STP, one mole of an ideal gas occupies 22.4 liters.
Fill in the blank: The formula to find the number of molecules is ______.
Number of moles x Avogadro’s number
What is the significance of Avogadro’s number in the mole concept?
Avogadro’s number allows chemists to count particles by weighing a sample.
Multiple Choice: How many moles are in 44 grams of CO2? A) 1 B) 2 C) 0.5
A) 1
What is the formula for calculating the mass of a substance from moles?
Mass (g) = number of moles x molar mass (g/mol)
True or False: The mole is a fundamental concept in stoichiometry.
True
What does it mean if a chemical equation is balanced in terms of moles?
It means that the number of moles of reactants equals the number of moles of products.
What unit is used to express molar mass?
Grams per mole (g/mol)
Fill in the blank: The mole concept helps in understanding ______ in chemical reactions.
Quantities
Multiple Choice: What is the molar mass of sodium chloride (NaCl)? A) 58.44 g/mol B) 40.00 g/mol C) 22.99 g/mol
A) 58.44 g/mol
What is the term for the mass of one mole of a substance?
Molar mass
True or False: A mole of neon gas weighs more than a mole of hydrogen gas.
True
What is the molar volume of a gas at STP?
22.4 liters
Fill in the blank: The mole concept is essential for calculating ______ in reactions.
Yields
Multiple Choice: Which of the following is not a unit of amount of substance? A) Mole B) Liter C) Mass
C) Mass
How many moles are in 100 grams of glucose (C6H12O6) if its molar mass is 180 g/mol?
0.56 moles
What is an empirical formula?
An empirical formula is a chemical formula that shows the simplest whole-number ratio of elements in a compound.
True or False: The empirical formula can be the same as the molecular formula.
True, if the compound is already in its simplest form.
Fill in the blank: The empirical formula of glucose (C6H12O6) is ____.
CH2O
Which of the following is an example of an empirical formula? A) C2H4 B) C6H12O6 C) CH4 D) H2O
D) H2O
What information is required to calculate an empirical formula?
The relative masses or percentages of each element in the compound.
True or False: The empirical formula provides information about the actual number of atoms in a molecule.
False, it only provides the ratio of atoms.
What is the empirical formula for benzene (C6H6)?
CH
How do you derive an empirical formula from percent composition?
Convert the percentages to grams, then to moles, and simplify the mole ratio to the smallest whole numbers.
True or False: The empirical formula can provide insight into the molecular structure of a compound.
False, it does not provide structural information.
