Avogadro’s Number, Moles and Molar Mass
For a scientist to carry out experiments involving only 1, 2, 3, a dozen or even a million atoms or molecules is not
feasible. The volume that this many atoms or molecules would occupy is negligible. Reasonable masses of elements for
scientists to work with are those that are based on the average atomic mass for an element. It was determined by the
Italian scientist, Avogadro, that the number of atoms in exactly 12.000 g of the carbon-12 isotope was 6.02 x 1023. In fact
a sample of any element equal to its average atomic mass contains 6.02 x 1023 atoms of that element. Scientists refer to
this amount of any entity as a “mole” and use this term in the same manner that a baker would use the unit of a dozen.
The mole (symbol “n”, unit mol) is described as the number of particles in exactly 12.000 grams of 126C. The
number 6.02 x 1023 is called Avogadro’s number and is represented by the symbol “N A”. Avogadro’s number is so big it is
in comprehensible, below are some examples to help grasp the magnitude of this number.
1. If 1 million ants live in an ant hill 1 m2, 1 mole of ants would occupy enough ant hills to cover Earth 1000 times.
2. To travel a distance of 1 mole of millimetres at the speed of light (3.0 x108 m/s) it would take 63 654 years.
The mass of 1 mole of any substance is referred to as it Molar Mass (symbol “MM”, unit g/mol) and for an
element is equal to the atomic mass on the periodic table in g/mol (for a specific isotope, the mass number is used). The
molar mass of a compound is equal to the algebraic sum of the atomic masses for each element in the formula (multiply
each element’s mass by the number of that element in the formula, then sum).
Calculations Using the Mole

Percentage Composition
Percentage composition is the percent, by mass, of each element in a compound. This value gives the fraction
of each element in a compound and can be calculated 2 ways.
1. Using Experimental Data:
With this method, the total mass of a sample of a compound must be known as well as the mass of
each element. To calculate the percent composition of an element, use the formula below.
% composition of an element =
mass of element
x 100%
mass of compound
Example:
A 10.5 g sample of glucose was combusted to yield 4.20 grams of carbon, 5.60 grams oxygen and 0.70
grams of hydrogen. Calculate the percent composition for each element in the glucose sample.
Solution:
% C = 40.0%
% O = 53.3%
% H = 6.7%
2. Using the Chemical Formula of a Compound:
With this method the molar mass of the compound must be calculated and the total mass of each
element (# of atoms on an element multiplied by the atomic mass of the element). To calculate the
percent composition of an element, use the formula below.
Example:
Determine the percent composition of each element in phosphoric acid (H3PO4).
Solution:
MM of H3PO4= 3 H + P + 4 O
MM of H3PO4= 3(1.01 g/mol) + 30.97 g/mol + 4(16.00 g/mol)
MM of H3PO4=98.00 g/mol
% H = 3.09%
% P = 31.60%
% O = 65.31%

Mole Relationships in Chemical Reactions
The quantitative relationship among reactants and products is called stoichiometry. The term
stoichiometry is derived from two Greek words: stoicheion (meaning "element") and metron (meaning
"measure"). Stoichiometry calculations are based on the fact that atoms are conserved. They cannot be
destroyed or created. Numbers and kinds of atoms before and after the reactions are always the same. This is
the Law of Conservation of mass and is why chemical reactions must be balanced. The molar coefficients from
a balanced chemical equation represent the ratio in which reactants come together and make products in
terms of moles.
For example, in the reaction 2 H2(g) + O2(g) 2 H2O(g) one mole of oxygen gas reacts with two moles of
hydrogen gas to make 2 moles of water.
In most stoichiometry problems, amounts will be given in something other than moles and therefore
you must always convert to moles before working with the molar ratio given by the balanced chemical
equation. The following flow chart outlines the basic process to any stoichiometry calculation.
