Moley Mole

This previous Wednesday's class was a great class. It was such a good class because we saw a video with a great theme song. The song was "Happy Mole Day To You". That was all I learned. Just kidding.
On Wednesday our class was introduced to Amadeo Avogadro's Theory/Hypothesis. Avogadro's theory was that the same amount of different gases at the same pressure and temperature, should contain the same number of particles.
A few examples 2 particles to look at are:
Oxygen : Hydrogen = 16:1
Carbon Dioxide : Hydrogen =  22:1
Carbon Dioxide : Oxygen = 18:1
^^ If the number of particles is the same, the mass ratio equals the mass of the particles. This principal is used for relative masses of all atoms on the periodic table of elements.

There are a few ways to express the measurements of atomic mass. The units possible include amu, u, and daltons.

Molar Mass is the mass of 1 mole; in particles of course. The Molar Mass of an element is the mass labelled on the periodic table shown in grams. Some examples include: **abbreviation for mole = mol!
1 mole of Oxygen is 16.0 g/mol
1 mole of Potassium is 39.1 g/mol
1 mole of Carbon is 12.0 g/mol
^^ all listed above have the same amount of particles!

Lastly, the formula of molar mass is 6.022 X 10 to the power of 23 in grams per mole. {g/mol}
