1. Mole
A mole is a fixed number of molecules found in a mass of an element
or molecule equal to its atomic or molecular weight
g-mole = 6.022 x 1023 molecules
lb-mole = 2.7 x 1026 molecules
# moles = mass/molecular weight
for CE 280 use g-mole -- units are g/mol
e.g. 12.01 g C = 1 mole
2. Molarity
In chemistry, molarity is a concentration unit, defined to be the number of
moles of solute divided by the number of liters of solution.
Units of Molarity
Molarity is expressed in units of moles per liter (mol/L). It's such a common
unit, it has its own symbol, which is a capital letter M. A solution that has the
concentration 5 mol/L would be called a 5 M solution or said to have a
concentration value of 5 molar.
Molarity Examples
3. Normality
N = ci / feq
N = molarity x equivalents
Units of Normality
For sulfide precipitation reactions, where the SO4- ion is the important part,
the same 1 M H2SO4 solution will have a normality of 1 N.
