Moles

chemical equation is a way to show a chemical reaction using symbols and formulas. When balancing it you must make sure that the numbers of each type of atom on both sides of the equation are the same.

Balancing equations

For example the following equation is not balanced:
CH4 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O
C=1 C=1
H= 4 H=2
O=2 O=3
To make it balanced you should add a 2 infront of the O2 and and 2 in front of the H2O ( remember you cannot change the subscript)
CH4 + 2O2--> CO2 + 2H2O

A mole is a unit used to measure the quantity of many objects. One mole contains about 6.022 x 10^23 particles, which is known as Avogadro's number.

What is molar mass?

Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance (g/mole). You may find the molar mass of one mole by finding the atomic mass of an element. However if you're looking for the molar mass of a compound you have to add the molar mass of both of the elements.

When the amount of moles are not given you must divide depending on what you have whether it will be the amount of liters and grams or particles.
For example: if you have the amount of liters which will always be 22.4 and the grams you must divide the liters by grams inorder to find the moles.

​when it's not given

​when the amount of moles are given you must multiply depending on what you have to find.
For example: if you are trying to find the amount of particles you must multiply the amount of moles by 6.02x10^23 inorder to find the particles.
