Explain with examples what is meant by a 'mole' of a substance.

संक्षेप में उत्तर

उत्तर

A mole is the quantity of a substance whose mass in grams is equal in magnitude to the molecular mass of that substance in Daltons. Thus, the molecular mass of oxygen is 32 u, and therefore 32g oxygen is 1 mole of oxygen. The molecular mass of water is 18u. Therefore, 18g of water makes 1 mole of water.

1 mole of a compound is the mass of that substance in grams equal in magnitude to its molecular mass. The SI unit is mol.

Number of moles of substances (n) = Mass of substance in gramsMolecular mass of substance
