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

Answer»
  • A mole is that quantity of a substance whose mass in grams is equal in magnitude to the molecular mass of that substance in Daltons.
  • For example: Atomic mass of oxygen atom (O) is 16u. Thus, the molecular mass of oxygen molecule (O2) is 16 x 2 = 32u. Therefore, 32 g of oxygen is 1 mole of oxygen.
