3.1 The Mole 3.1 The Mole An atom of carbon weighs 12 amu = 1.99 x 10An atom of carbon weighs 12 amu = 1.99 x 10-23-23 g g
1 mol of 1 mol of 1212C = 6.022 x 10C = 6.022 x 102323 atoms of C atoms of C = 12.00 g of C = 12.00 g of C
• A mole is the amount of substance that contains as many elementary entities (atoms, molecules, or other particles) as there are atoms in exactly 12 g of the carbon-12 isotope.
• Just like a dozen = 12 items a pair = 2 items
a mole = 6.022 x 10a mole = 6.022 x 102323 itemsitems (also known as Avogadro’s number).
The point—it takes a lot of atoms to have something we can weigh.

If 1.44 x 101.44 x 10-3-3 mol mol of this hydrocarbon was used in the experiment. What is its molar mass?
0.1035 g H0.1035 g H22O = 1.149 x 10 O = 1.149 x 10 -2 -2 mol Hmol H
0.379 g CO0.379 g CO22 = 8.61 x 10 = 8.61 x 10-3 -3 mol C mol C
Total mass of the 1.44 x 10Total mass of the 1.44 x 10-3-3 mol of compound: mol of compound:
(1.149 x 10(1.149 x 10-2-2 mol H x 1.008 g/mol H) mol H x 1.008 g/mol H)
