Same reason a dozen is used to count 12 eggs. This is the agreed on unit that chemist's use. Iron is 55.85 grams/mole, which means that 6.022 X 1023 atoms are in this mass iron. Now carbon is 12.01 grams/mole with the same number of atoms in that mass. Rather like a dozen eggs weighing different amounts because some are labeled small, medium or large yet all are still 12 eggs in the dozen.
No, a mole of carbon atoms has the same number of atoms as a mole of helium atoms (Avogadro's number, which is about 6.022 x 10^23 atoms). The difference lies in their atomic masses, as carbon atoms are heavier than helium atoms.
6.0221 x 1023 atoms/molecules/entities make up one mole. It is known as Avogadro's number. This is a consequence of the definition of one mole, rather than being the cause of the definition of a mole. It is not necessary to know this number for the majority of calculations using moles.
Yes. To find out the mass of a mole of atoms of any given element, see the atomic mass given on the periodic table. A mole of carbon atoms has a mass of 12.011 grams. A mole of sulfur atoms has a mass of 32.06 grams.
Because the sum of protons, neutrons and electrons masses in sulfur atom is higher than in a carbon atom.
2 moles of helium contain more atoms than 1 mole of gold. Since 1 mole of any substance contains Avogadro's number of atoms (approximately (6.022 \times 10^{23})), 2 moles of helium would have about (1.204 \times 10^{24}) atoms, while 1 mole of gold has approximately (6.022 \times 10^{23}) atoms. Therefore, 2 moles of helium have double the number of atoms compared to 1 mole of gold.
A mole of Au atoms would have a higher mass compared to a mole of K atoms because gold (Au) atoms have a larger atomic mass than potassium (K) atoms. The molar mass of a substance is determined by adding the atomic masses of the individual atoms in the mole.
For the same reason that one dozen pencils has a smaller mass than one dozen bricks. Each atom of carbon weighs less than each atom of sulfur, and a mole of each has the same number of atoms, so a mole S will weigh more than a mole C.
A mole of any substance contains Avogadro's number of particles (6.02 x 10^23). The molar mass of copper is less than that of lead, so a mole of copper atoms weighs less than a mole of lead atoms, despite both containing the same number of atoms.
Let's see. 1 mole K atoms = 6.022 X 1023 atoms * 19 electrons = 1.144 X 1025 electrons in one mole potassium ------------------------------------------------------------- 1 mole Au atoms = 6.022 X 1023 atoms * 79 electrons = 4.757 X 1025 electrons in one mole gold ------------------------------------------------------ A mole of gold, Au, atoms contains more electrons than a mole of potassium, K, atoms.

Because the sum of protons, neutrons and electrons masses in sulfur atom is higher than in a carbon atom.
6.022 x 1023 atoms comprise just about 1 mole. 1.11 moles is greater than 1 mole.
It isn't. The mass of one mole of aluminum is less than the mass of one mole of copper. The number of atoms in one mole of aluminum is the same as the number of atoms in one mole of copper, which is 6.022 x 1023, also known as Avogodro's number.
That's just the way it was set up. 6.022x1023 atoms of an element equals one mole of that element. 6.022x1023 molecules of a compound equals one mole of that compound. Remember, a mole does not measure weight. One mole of hydrogen weighs a lot less than a mole of acetic acid. A mole just means 6.022x1023 particles, whether those particles are atoms, ions, molecules, or ionic compounds.
