A mole is that number of molecular units of a substance. The number is called the Avogadro constant, or Avogadro's number. (It is defined as the no. of atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12).

For example, Iron has the chemical formula Fe. So a mole of iron is (Avogadro's no.) Fe atoms.

Water has the formula H2O. A mole of water, then, is (Avogadro's no.) H2O molecules.

Is 1.11 mole more or less than 6.0221023 atoms?

One mole is approximately equal to Avogadro's Number of atoms, 6.023 times 10 to the 23rd power or 6.023E23, where "E" stands for "10 raised to the power of". So, 1.11 mole would be greater.

How many atoms of gold in one mole of gold?

In one mole of gold, there are 6.022 x 10^23 atoms of gold. This number represents Avogadro's constant, which is the number of atoms, ions, or molecules in one mole of a substance.


What is mole determined by?

A mole, as in Chemistry, is merely a unit of measure. Saying there is a mole of something is similar to saying there is a dozen of something; it's not about size, it's about quantity. A mole uses Avagadro's number, which is roughly 6.02 x 10 to the 23rd power. that is, about 602000000000000000000000 atoms or molocules of an element is a mole of that element or compound. Another thing to note is that if you have a mole of water, for example, that means you have 2 moles of H and 1 mole of O, since there are 2 H's in water with 1 O.

How many moles are in 1.204 x 1024 formula units of magnesium nitrate?

A mole is 6.023 x (ten to the 23rd power) formula units. (Avogadro's number). Thus you get your answer by dividing your number by Avogadro's number. As you have written your number, the answer would be 2.047 x (10 to the minus 21). However, as the wikianswers font won't let us do superscripts, I think you probably have 1.204 x (10 to the twenty fourth power), and that you are expected to use the approximation 6.02 x (ten to the 23rd power) for Avogadro, which gives a much simpler answer of 20.
