Concept introduction: The number of particles present in twelve grams of C-12 is defined as the mole.
Answer to Problem 3E
The calculations become easy when dealing with
Explanation of Solution
Most of the chemical reactions take place at such a level that it becomes difficult to use grams. Thus, mole can be easily used for the calculations. Moles provide an easy way of conversion between the number of molecules or atoms and their mass. One mole of particles is equal to
The calculations become easy when dealing with chemical reactions in terms of moles as the chemical reaction is expressed in terms of atoms and molecules.
