They are not always needed. A thing called parts per million (ppm or mg/L) exists in analytical chemistry, and compounds are often tested in this way. However, more often is the case that moles per litre is used. The reason for this is that if you are carrying out a simple acid base reaction and they react one molecule of base to every one molecule of acid, you can be way off on weight. Weight is dependent on the weight of each atom, and how many atoms there are is not quickly identifiable without calculation.
Think of it this way. a mole is a number that represents a certain amount of molecules (a much more managable number).
If we put on a reaction in which the ratio of reactants is 1:1, if we know the moles of each, we can straight away tell which compound will limit how much product can be formed (when the reactant with smaller number of moles is consumed, the excess of the other reactant cannot magically react with what doesn't exist of the limiting reagent). You don't need molarity for this, but it is the same idea.
Mol is an official unit of concentration in SI, not of mass.The transformation of a concentration expressed in mass per volume in a concentration in moles is at your choice.
Yes, the mol is the SI unit of concentration.
10 moles of nitrogen dioxide are needed to react with 5,0 moles of water.
You use the formula concentration x volume to find out the number of moles
8,75 moles of oxygen are needed.
Concentration of NaOH = 0.025 M = 0.025 Moles per Litre of SolutionVolume of Solution required = 5.00LWe can say therefore that:Number of Moles of NaOH needed to prepare the solution= Concentration of NaOH * Volume of Solution requiredTherefore:Number of Moles of NaOH needed to prepare the solution= 0.025M * 5.00L= 0.125molesFrom this we can say that 0.125 moles of NaOH are needed to prepare a 5.00 L solution with a concentration of 0.025M of NaOH.
1.5 moles
A high concentration means more moles in a given volume.
Mol is an official unit of concentration in SI, not of mass.The transformation of a concentration expressed in mass per volume in a concentration in moles is at your choice.
Yes, the mol is the SI unit of concentration.
The concentration in moles of a substance in the solution
The unit of concentration is Molar = Moles/Litre.
10 moles of nitrogen dioxide are needed to react with 5,0 moles of water.
number of moles=solute concentration/solute molar mass
You use the formula concentration x volume to find out the number of moles
It depends on the concentration of the solution. If you know the concentration(molarity) then use the equation. moles = [conc] x vol(mL) / 1000 NB The '1000' isusedto convert the concentration units of moles per litre (molL^-1) to mL.
8,75 moles of oxygen are needed.
