Question

 The Mole
We will use the analogy of an elephant and its body parts to explore the concept of moles of compounds or elements. The elephant and the carbon tetrachloride, CCl4 molecule are the test cases.

One elephant has one trunk and four legs

One carbon tetrachloride molecule, CCl4, contains one carbon atom and four chlorine atoms

1 amu = 1.6606 x 10-24 g

1 dozen = 12 items

1 mole = 6.022 x 1023 items = Avogadro's Number
