1 mole of an atom =



                         6.022 x               atomic mass of                1 gram atoms

                          23
                      10 atoms                   the element





                   For Example :

                                                             23
                   •  1 Mole of N = contains 6.022 x 10 atoms of nitrogen

                                             =14 grams


                                             =1 gram atoms of nitroge

                                                 1 mole of ion




                            6.022 x 10       23 ions                gram formula mass





                   For Example:
                                                               23
                                     -2
                   1 Mole of (SO )  = contains 6.022 x 10  ions
                                   4
                                                  = 96 grams


                     MOLAR MASS
                       The mass of one mole of a substance in grams is called its molar mass.
                       For example :

               Molar mass of water = 18.02 g mol-1
                                 Molar mass of sodium chloride = 58.5 g mol-1
