Mole Concept
Term mole was suggested by Ostwald (Latin word mole = heap)
A mole is defined as the amount of substance which contains same number of elementary particles (atoms, molecules or ions) as the number of atoms present in 12 g of carbon (C-12).
1 mol = 6.023 * 1023 atoms = one gram-atom = gram atomic mass
1 mol = 6.023 * 1023 molecules = gram molecular mass
In gaseous state at STP (T = 273 K, p = 1 atm)
Gram molecular mass = 1 mol
= 22.4 L = 6.022 * 1023 molecules
Standard number 6.023x 1023 is called Avogadro number in honour of Avogadro (he did not give this number) and is denoted by NA.
The volume occupied by one mole molecules of a gaseous substance is called molar volume or gram molecular volume.
Number of moles = amount of substance (in gram) / molar mass
