1. Refers to a measurement of molecules that is relative to its molecular
weight.
2. Avogadros Number is 6.02 x 10.
a. It states the number of atoms or molecules of that particular
substance present in a 1 mole of substance.
3. Find the molecular weight of a molecule using the Periodic Table and
then weigh out that many grams of the substance and that amount is
equal to 1 mole. (Sucrose = 342amu, so I need 342 grams.)
B. Molarity
1. Term for telling how many moles of a substance are dissolved in a
