INTRODUCTION TO MOLE

LESSON OBJECTIVES:
Understand the concept of a new unit of
measurement called mole;
Use some conversion factors in relation to
mole;
Perform the activity on the introduction to
moles and Avogadro’s number.

______________________
one HAMSTER is the unit of
measurement of anything
that contains 4 items
It is closely related to a new
unit of measurement called
a mole.
The ‘mole’, in chemical terms, is a
unit of measurement used to
describe the number of particles
found within a substance.
EXAMPLES OF UNIT OF
MEASUREMENT
Pair = 2 pieces
Dozen = 12 pieces
Ream = 500 pieces
 The amount of items found in
23
one mole is 6.02 x 10 items
(602,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000 items!!!!).
 This number is known
as Avogadro’s number.
A mole of oranges will have ____________ oranges
A mole of grapes will have _______________ grapes
A mole of skittles will have _________________ skittles
A mole of molecules of water will have ______________
molecules of water
A mole of atoms of oxygen will have
_________________ atoms of oxygen
