So What is It?
Basically, it represents a fixed quantity. When you go to
the store and order a DOZEN eggs, you get 12 eggs.
When you buy a computer with memory you ask how
much RAM does it have, or how many GIGABYTES does
the hard drive have. If you calculate the area of a
circle you know the formula is r2. Pi has a fixed
quantity, 3.14159 26535 89793 23846 26433 83279

Furry Creatures?
A mole allows a person to compare exact
numbers of molecules or particles in a
solution. This is different from
concentration which uses mass as a
comparison. Think of it using this analogy.
Suppose I wanted to put together a 5 v 5
rugby game. I select 5, 50 lb guys to play
against 5, 200 lb guys.
Molecular Mass
Molecular Mass is the sum of the masses of
the atoms that make up a molecule or
compound.
For example. The Mass of Water, H2O would
be 18 amu. Hydrogen has a mass of 1 amu,
and oxygen has a mass of 16 amu. Since
you have two hydrogen atoms, the sum of
the atoms would be 18 amu.

What About
Concentration?
If we were to compare the Concentration
of the two rugby teams, the Mass/team
then there would certainly be uneven
teams.
That is why moles are used in many
situations. Atoms and molecules have
different sizes, yet in many situations, it is
necessary to compare exact numbers of
atoms to determine ratios of atoms that
are reacting.
Sample Problem
Calculate the molarity of a
solution made when 120
grams of MgSO4 are dissolved
into one liter of water.
Solution
Start with your formula: M = gms/MW
M = 120 grams/ MW
The Molecular Mass of MgSO4 is
Mg 24 + S 32 + O 16 x 4 = 64
The sum of all the atomic masses is 120 amu.
So now divide 120 grams/120 amu to get 1
Mole. This means that your solution is one
Molar, 1M, or that you have 6.02 x 1023
molecules in the one liter of solution that is
made.
Sample Problem 2
How many grams of solid would
you need to add to one liter of
water to make a 0.46M solution
of NaHCO3?
Solution to Problem 2
M = grams/MW
Na-23 H-1 C-12 O-16 x 3=48
MW of NaHCO3 = 84 amu
0.46 = X
1
84 solving for X
X = 38.64 grams needed
Sample Problem 3
What is the molecular mass of
a solid that was added to one
liter of liquid to make a 1.3M
solution if 256 grams of solid
were used to make the
solution?
Solution to Problem 3
M = Grams Solid/MW
1.3 = 256 grams
1
X
Now, solve for X. 1.3X = 256
X = 196.9 which rounds to 197
