Weight in grams
What is the equation for 1 mole aka Avogadro’s Number?
1 mole = 6.02 x 10^23 units
What is the symbol for Avogadro’s Number?
N
1 mole equals what?
Avogadro’s Number - 6.02 x 10^23
Define Molar Mass?
The atomic mass of any substance expressed in grams
What is the symbol for Molas Mass?
MM
If the atomic mass of iron is 55.85 amu, what is its molar mass?
55.85 g/mol
If the atomic mass of Oxygen is 16.00 amu, what is its molar mass?
- 00 g/mol
- - This is because oxygen occurs naturally as a diatomic molecule (O2) so it is 2 times 16.00g
How would you find the mass of a compound, for example, Magnesium Nitrate? Mg(NO3)2
- Find the total mass of each element present
- Add the masses
= Answer in (g/mol)
