Moles
Objective:
To practise calculations involving a mole of a substance.
Calculating the mass of a mole
Task 1
For an element, a mole is the relative atomic mass expressed in grams. The relative atomicmass of hydrogen is 1, the same as the mass number for hydrogen. So the mass of one mole of hydrogen is 1 g.

Moles glossary
Define the following terms:
• Relative Atomic Mass.
• Relative formula Mass.
• A mole.
What is a mole?
A mole is the relative atomic mass or formula mass expressed in grams.
A mole of any substance always contains the same number of particles.
A mole of any element or compound contains 6.02 x 1023 atoms, ions or molecules. This is called Avogadro’s number.
Moles calculations
mass (g)
Moles = molar mass (g)
Mass (g) = moles x molar mass (g)
