MASS AND MOLE UNITS The atomic weight of an element is the mass of an atom on a scale that assigns © (the isotope of carbon whose nucleus contains six protons and six neutrons) a mass of exactly 12. The molecular weight of a compound is the sum of the atomic weights of the atoms that constitute a molecule of the ‘compound. The molecular (atomic) weight is used to relate the mass of a substance to the number of molecules and the concept of a mole is introduced to represent the number of molecules: Mass Number of Moles ———_— lumber of Moles = eT dar Weight and No of Moles is Directly Proportional to Number of Molecules. ‘Thus if the molecular weight of a substance is M then lg-mole =Mg 1 kg-mole = M kg 1ib-mole = M lb e.g. 1 kg-mole of methanol (CH30H) weighs 32 kg. 1 g-mole of any species contains 6,02 x 1023 (Avogadro’s number) molecules. NB i g-mole is written as 1 mol in the SI system of units. Lkg-mole" " “Lkmol" "Si" " " Ld
