- Students were taught how to convert between moles and atoms/molecules using Avogadro's number as a conversion factor. - Examples were worked through as a class to show the 3 step process: 1) write starting unit, 2) write conversion factor with starting units on bottom, 3) cancel units and multiply. - Students then worked in pairs on whiteboard practice questions applying the method. - An exit slip quiz assessed students' understanding of key concepts like Avogadro's number and performing mole-to-particle conversions. - Homework assigned was to finish the practice question worksheet.

6. Review: How many moles?
 Molar mass
 used to convert between grams and moles
 units = grams/mole
 can be shown as a fraction
Molar mass of H2 = 2.02 g/mol
2.02 grams 1 mole
or
1 mole 2.02 grams

7. How many atoms?
 Avogadro’s number… ..or particles, or molecules
 is equal to 6.02 X 1023 atoms/mol
 can be used to convert between moles and atoms
6.02 X 1023 atoms 1 mole
or
1 mole 6.02 X 1023 atoms
..or particles, or molecules

8. How many atoms?
 There is a 3-step process for conversions:
1. Write down the starting unit.
2. Write the conversion factor with the starting units on
the bottom.
3. Cancel like terms and multiply across the top and
bottom.

9. Example #1
How many atoms are there in 2 moles of carbon (C)?
 Step #1: Write down the starting unit.
2 moles

10. Example #1
How many atoms are there in 2 moles of carbon (C)?
 Step #2: Write conversion factor with the starting units on the
bottom.
6.02 X 1023 atoms
2 moles X =
1 mole

11. Example #1
How many atoms are there in 2 moles of carbon (C)?
 Step #3: Cancel like terms and multiply across the top and
bottom.
Ignore
6.02 X 1023 atoms 2 X 6.02 X 1023 atoms
2 moles X =
1 mole 1 +1
= 12.04 X 1023 atoms
= 1.204 X 1024 atoms

12. Example #2
How many atoms are there in 1.5 moles of CO2?
 Step #1: Write down the starting unit.
1.5 moles

13. Example #2
How many atoms are there in 1.5 moles of CO2?
 Step #2: Write conversion factor with the starting units on the
bottom.
6.02 X 1023 atoms
1.5 moles X =
1 mole

14. Example #2
How many atoms are there in 1.5 moles of CO2?
 Step #3: Cancel like terms and multiply across the top and
bottom.
Ignore
6.02 X 1023 atoms 1.5 X 6.02 X 1023 atoms
1.5 moles X =
1 mole 1
= 9.03 X 1023 atoms

15. Example #3
How many moles are there in 3.01 X 1023 molecules of CO2?
 Step #1: Write down the starting unit.
3.01X1023 molecules

16. Example #3
How many molecules are there in 1.5 moles of CO2?
 Step #2: Write conversion factor with the starting units on the
bottom.
1 mol
3.01X1023 molecules X =
6.02X1023 molecules

17. Example #3
How many molecules are there in 1.5 moles of CO2?
 Step #3: Cancel like terms and multiply across the top and
bottom.
1 mol 3.01 X 1 mol
3.01X1023 molecules X =
6.02X10 23 molecules 6.02
= .5 mol
