Moles, mass and volume
Important conversion factors
6.02e23 things = 1 mole of those things OR 6.02e23 things/1 mole
1.00 g of water = 1.00mL of water (at 25 degrees) OR 1.00g/mL = density of water
You should memorize these conversion factors!
Questions to think about
How many marbles are in a mole?
How much mass is this?
How much volume would this take up?
How could you calculate these numbers? What other information would you need?
A mole is a BIG quantity, but molecules and atoms are so SMALL that a mole of water molecules only takes up 18ml of volume!
