A mol is a mol is a mol - no. A mol is a standard unit of measurement and thus any substance, when designated a "mol" will have the same number of particles. Therefore, a mol of salt would have the same number of particles as a mol of sugar. It is like asking if a pound of feathers would weigh more or less than a pound of steel.

Im assuming you mean tablesalt (NaCl)?

Then 1 mole of sugar weighs more.

Sugar has the molecule formula: C6H12O6

The mole mass is: 6*12 + 12*1 + 6*16 = 180 g/mol

Sodiumchloride has the molecule formula NaCl

The mole mass is: 23 + 35.5 = 58 g/mol

so 1 mole of sugar weighs 180/58= 3 times as much as sodiumchloride

Yes wt of one mole of water = 18g wt of one mole of sugar(C6H12O6)=12*6+12+16*6=180g

Does a mole of water weigh the same as a mole of hydrogen?

No. A mole of hydrogen (in its normal form) weighs 2 grams. A mole of water weighs 18 grams.


Which weigh more water or ice?

It depends how much water and how much ice you hae. if you have 1 ice cube and 6 cups of water, the water will weigh more. But, if you have 10 ice cubes and 1/4 cup of water the ice will weigh more.


Why does a mole of copper atoms weigh less than a mole of lead atoms?

Because copper has a smaller molar mass, hence it will have less mass per mole than lead.


Explain why adding 1 mole of table salt to water raises the boiling point more than adding 1 mole of table sugar to the same amount of water?

Adding one mole of salt raises the boiling point of the water more than adding one mole of sugar to the water


How many moles of water would be produced if you started with one mole sugar?

Glucose? C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O 6 moles water from one mole sugar.


Does one mole of NH3 weigh more than one mole of H2O?

The mass of NH3 mole = its molecular weight = 14 + 3 x 1 = 17 The mass of H2O mole = its molecular weight = 2 x 1 + 16 = 18 This means that one mole of NH3 weigh less than one mole of H2O


What freezes faster sugar water or salt water?

sugar is a covalent compound where as salt is an ionic compound,so salt while dissolving in the water splits.This is mainly dependent of the 'total dissolved partical' concentration (mol/L):Sugar (C6H12O6): 1 mole particles per 180 g (for 1 mole sugar)Salt (NaCl) 2 mole particles per 58.5 g (for 1 mole salt) = 6 mole particles per about 180In water the freezing point will be lowered by 1.86oC per mole particles dissolved: So 180 g/L sugar: freeze at -1.86oCand 175.5 g/L salt freeze at -(6*1.86) = -11.2oCor 29.2 g/L salt will freeze at the same as 180 g suger: -1.86oC


Does a mole of neon atoms weigh the same as a mole of aluminum atoms?

No. Think of it this way - say you had 20 basketballs and 20 bowling balls. Will the basketballs weigh the same as the bowling balls? No, because an individual basketball weighs less than a bowling ball, so if you have equal numbers of them, they aren't going to weigh the same. Now take 6.02 × 1023 atoms (one mole) of neon and 6.02 × 1023 atoms of aluminum. One atom of neon is going to weigh less than one atom of aluminum, so equal numbers of them aren't going to weigh the same.

How many grams are there in one mole?

It depends on the element. One mole is 6.02 × 1023 atoms, which has a certain mass. But (for example) one hydrogen atom is going to weigh less than a lithium atom. Therefore, two samples of the two elements of 6.02 × 1023 atoms will weigh differently.
