Using <strong>the</strong> “mole” by weighing<br />

Ex: a scientist wants 1 mole of Na <strong>and</strong> 1 mole of Cl<br />

to make NaCl.<br />

Is he or she going to count out 6.02 x 10 23 Na <strong>and</strong> Cl<br />

atoms? NO WAY!<br />

Chemists can "count" atoms or molecules by knowing<br />

how much 1 mole of every substance weighs…<br />

The molar mass! It’s on <strong>the</strong> periodic table
