Moles
A trip to Mole land
Moles connect the atomic world to human world
Moles allow us to
conveniently connect between
these worlds using a scale.
~30 CO2
molecules
arranged in
shape of muffin
man (IBM)
~0.00000002 m
~ 1027
molecules in the
shape of a couch potato
~2 m
the mole concept is really …
the same idea as counting
via `dozen’ count

Mass = molecular weight
mol (MW)
Must weigh
box of eggs
Just add up atomic masses
as grams using Periodic
Table
Mass (grams) = MW=Molecular
mol Weight
= sum of masses in grams of
component elements in a
compound .
(element masses are average
masses taken from Periodic Table)
