Molar Masses

Question 1 • LA-Chemistry A

In a classroom, which comparison would a teacher most likely use for describing a mole?

Answer
A
a cup of water and a liter of oil
B
a dozen eggs and a dozen jellybeans
C
a jar of jellybeans and a gram of salt crystals
D
20 marbles in a bag and 10 large ice cubes

Explanation

A mole is a counting unit, like a dozen: both tell how many items are present, regardless of what the items are. A dozen eggs and a dozen jellybeans contain the same number of items, just as one mole of different substances contains the same number of particles.
