What should I read to learn this content from the table of contents?
Content:
Calculate quantities of a substance or its relative number of particles using dimensional analysis and the mole concept.
One cannot count particles directly while performing laboratory work. Thus, there must be a connection between the masses of substances reacting and the actual number of particles undergoing chemical changes.
Avogadro’s number (N = 6.022 × 1023 mol−1 ) provides the connection bet A ween the number of moles in a pure sample of a substance and the number of constituent particles (or formula units) of that substance.
Expressing the mass of an individual atom or molecule in atomic mass units (amu) is useful because the average mass in amu of one particle (atom or molecule) or formula unit of a substance will always be numerically equal to the molar mass of that substance in grams. Thus, there is a quantitative connection between the mass of a substance and the number of particles that the substance contains. EQN: n = m/M
