mole concept introduction based on ncert :

The mole concept is a convenient method of expressing the amount of a substance. Any measurement can be broken down into two parts – the numerical magnitude and the units that the magnitude is expressed in. For example, when the mass of a ball is measured to be 2 kilograms, the magnitude is ‘2’ and the unit is ‘kilogram’.

When dealing with particles at an atomic (or molecular) level, even one gram of a pure element is known to contain a huge number of atoms. This is where the mole concept is widely used. It primarily focuses on the unit known as a ‘mole’, which is a count of a very large number of particles.

In the field of chemistry, a mole is defined as the amount of a substance that contains exactly 6.02214076 * 1023 ‘elementary entities’ of the given substance.

The number 6.02214076*1023 is popularly known as the Avogadro constant and is often denoted by the symbol ‘NA’. The elementary entities that can be represented in moles can be atoms, molecules, monoatomic/polyatomic ions, and other particles (such as electrons).

For example, one mole of a pure carbon-12 (12C) sample will have a mass of exactly 12 grams and will contain a 6.02214076*1023 (NA) number of 12C atoms. The number of moles of a substance in a given pure sample can be represented by the following formula:

n = N/NA

Where n is the number of moles of the substance (or elementary entity), N is the total number of elementary entities in the sample, and NA is the Avogadro constant.

The word “mole” was introduced around the year 1896 by the German chemist Wilhelm Ostwald, who derived the term from the Latin word moles meaning a ‘heap’ or ‘pile.

Chemical Kinetics class 12

Chemical Kinetics name of the chapter: Chemical Kinetics Content Provider: FIITJEE Lecturer from FIITJEE Introduction based on NCERT: Chemistry, by its very nature, is concerned with change. Substances with well-defined properties are converted by chemical reactions into other substances with different properties. For any chemical reaction, chemists try to find out (a) the feasibility of a chemical reaction which can be predicted by thermodynamics ( as you know that a reaction with ΔG < 0, at constant temperature and pressure is feasible); (b) the extent to which a reaction will proceed can be determined from chemical equilibrium; (c) speed of a reaction i.e. time taken by a reaction to reach equilibrium. Along with feasibility and extent, it is equally important to know the rate and the factors controlling the rate of a chemical reaction for its complete understanding. For example, which parameters determine how rapidly food gets spoiled? How to design a rapid...

Hydrocarbon class 10 & 9 carbon and its compunds

Hydrocarbons What is a hydrocarbon? * In organic chemistry, a hydrocarbon is a compound consisting primarily of carbon and hydrogen along with other elements added on as functional groups Few examples of Hydrocarbons are *Methane *Ethane *Ethanol *Propane *Butane Types of hydrocarbons: *The hydrocarbons can be classified as *Open chain or acyclic hydrocarbons *Cyclic hydrocarbons *Acyclic hydrocarbons have a linear structure and do not form rings *Cyclic hydrocarbons have a structure like a ring Acyclic Hydrocarbons: * Organic compounds in which all the carbon atoms are linked to one another to form an open chain are called Acyclic Hydrocarbons. *These can be saturated or unsaturated Saturated Hydrocarbons: *The Hydrocarbons where the carbon atoms are linked by only single bonds are called saturated Hydrocarbons. *They are also alkanes and parrafins Unsaturated Hydrocarbons * The carbon ...

Purification Characterisation of Organic Compounds class 11

Purification Characterisation of Organic Compounds name of the chapter: Purification Characterisation of Organic Compounds Content Provider: FIITJEE Lecturer from FIITJEE simple notes: Organic compounds extracted from a natural source or synthesized in the laboratory require purification. Various methods are used for purification and are based on the nature of the compound and the impurity present in it. The purity of a compound is ascertained by determining its melting point or boiling point or by chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques. Fraction distillation can be defined as a process where the separation of a mixture takes place. A mixture of various components such as chemical components can be easily vaporized by heating them to a temperature more than their boiling point and forming different fractions. embedded pdf:
