This document provides an overview of stoichiometry and the mole concept in chemistry. It discusses how counting by weighing can be used to determine the number of atoms in a sample based on its mass. The modern system of atomic masses uses carbon-12 as the standard, and mass spectrometry helps determine atomic masses accurately. Average atomic masses account for natural abundances of isotopes. The mole is defined as the amount of a substance with the same number of elementary entities (atoms, molecules, ions or other particles) as there are atoms in exactly 12 grams of carbon-12, and it allows direct conversion between mass and number of particles. Sample calculations are provided to demonstrate determining numbers of moles, atoms and masses in chemical problems.
