Mole A mole is a number that is equal to the number of carbon atoms found

in exactly 12 grams of carbon-12. This number is equal to 6.0 x 1023 and is given a special name Avogadro’s number. The Avogadro’s number has unit mole-( per mole)

Relative atomic mass- Ar

The relative atomic mass of an atom is the number of times the atomis heavier than one twelfth of an atom of carbon-12

the relative atomic mass of one atom mass of atom 1/12 mass of 1 carbon-12 atom

Relative atomic mass of an element The relative atomic mass of an element is the average mass of one atom of the element

compared with 1/12th mass of one atom of carbon.12 the relative atomic the average mass of 1 atom of the element mass of an element 1/12 mass of 1 carbon-12 atom

Molecular mass of carbon dioxide is (CO2) = 12+ 16+ 16 = 44 Molar mass ( mass of one mole)

The mass (in grams) of 1 mole of a substance is called its molar mass. The mass of 1 mole of atoms is equal to its relative atomic mass in grams. The mass of 1 mole of molecules is equal to its relative molecular mass in grams. The mass of 1 mole of formula units of ionic compound is equal to its relative formula mass in grams. number of moles mass of substance molar mass of substance

Molar mass has unit mole/gFormula mass is equal to sum of the atomic masses

Empirical formulaThe empirical formula shows the simplest number ratio of the different

types of atoms in a compound.

Molecular formula The molecular formula shows the actual number and kinds of atoms
