The concept of a mole, which is a counting unit in chemistry, and Avogadro's Number (6.02 x 1023). It discusses how the number of particles in a mole is always the same, but the mass varies greatly depending on whether the particles are atoms, molecules, or ions. The document also covers how to calculate the number of atoms or grams of a substance.

1 mole C = 6.02 x 10^23 C atoms 1 mole H 2 O = 6.02 x 10^23 H 2 O molecules 1 mole NaCl = 6.02 x 10^23 NaCl molecules (6.02 x 10^23 Na+^ ions and 6.02 x 10^23 Cl–^ ions)
A Mole of Particles
Contain 6.02 x 10^23 particles
1 mole = 6.02 x 10^23 particles A particle could be an atom, a molecule, OR an ion!
Note that the NUMBER is always the same, but the MASS is very different!

Ex: How many atoms of Cu are present in
35.4 g of Cu?
63.5g Cu = 1mol Cu 35.4g Cu = 0.56mol Cu 1mol Cu = 6.02X 10^23 mol Cu atoms 0.56 mol Cu = 3.4 X 10^23 Cu atoms
