Avogadro’s Number and the Mole

Atoms, ions, and molecules are very small, so even tiny samples have a hugenumber of particles. To make counting such large numbers easier, scientistsuse the same approach to represent the number of ions or molecules in asample as they use for atoms. The SI unit for amount is called the mole(mol). A mole is the number of atoms in exactly 12 grams of carbon-12.

The number of particles in a mole is called Avogadro’s number orAvogadro’s constant. One way to determine this number is to count thenumber of particles in a small sample and then use mass or particle sizeto find the amount in a larger sample. This method works only if all of theatoms in the sample are identical. Thus, scientists measure Avogadro’snumber using a sample that has atoms of only one isotope.

The most recent measurement of Avogadro’s number shows that it is6.02214199 × 1023 units/mole. In this class, the measurement is roundedto 6.022 × 1023 units/mol. Avogadro’s number is used to count any kind ofparticle.
