What is the difference between Avogadro's number and a mole?

Question

i need clarification to understand what a mole is and whats the difference between a mole and avogadro's number.

Answer 1

Avogadro's number is the number of units in a mole.

This is exactly like the difference between 12 and a dozen. It's just another name we have for a unit.

Answer 2

I too found this concept a bit difficult to understand right away, but my teacher told me this:

Think of a one mole as a dozen. A dozen is just another way to measure things, but unless you have a unit, then it doesn't make sense.

It's like saying, "I have a dozen." But we don't know what you have a dozen of, unless you specify a unit. "I have a dozen eggs."

In the same way, a mole is just another way to measure things, it's a set number of something that you must specify.

Avagadro's number (6.02 x 10^23) is the specific number of a mole, like the number 12 specifies the 'dozen'.

So an example would be:
1 mol of water molecules = 6.02 x 10^23 water molecules

Hopefully that helps a little bit, good luck.

Answer 3

Avogadros number is the number of something in a mole of that something, so a mole of atoms is 6.02 x 10^23 atoms, a mole of donuts is 6.02 x 10^23 donuts, etc.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Avagrado's number is the amount of particles in one mole of a pure substance. A mole is the amount of substance that contains as many particles as there are atoms in 12 g of Carbon-12.

Answer 6

Avagadro's # is the number of atoms or molecules in a mole. It is really a conversion factor for going from atomic mass units to grams.

Answer 7

Avagadro's number is the number of molecules of a substance in a mole

Answer 8

Avogadro's No. is 6.023x10^23
whereas mole is equal to given weight/molecular weight

Answer 9

Same...
