Answer:
The mole is simply a very large number that is used by chemists as a unit of measurement.
Explanation:
The mole is simply a very large number,
6.022
×
10
23
, that has a special property. If I have
6.022
×
10
23
hydrogen atoms, I have a mass of 1 gram of hydrogen atoms . If I have
6.022
×
10
23
H
2
molecules, I have a mass of 2 gram of hydrogen molecules. If I have
6.022
×
10
23
C
atoms, I have (approximately!) 12 grams.
The mole is thus the link between the micro world of atoms and molecules, and the macro world of grams and litres, the which we can easily measure by mass or volume. The masses for a mole of each element are given on the periodic table as the atomic weight. So, if have 12 g of
C
, I know, fairly precisely, how many atoms of carbon I have. Given this quantity, I know how many molecules of
O
2
are required to react with the
C
, which I could measure by mass or by volume.
Abiotic things are like rocks...dirt...water vs. biotic is living things or something that was living
It's called simple diffusion, the small molecules without charges such as oxygen and carbon dioxide can flow through a plasma membrane without assistance and without expending energy. Other substances such as proteins, glucose and charged particles called ions cannot pass through the selectively permeable membrane.
On June 21, as seen from the North pole ...
-- the sun has been up, and it's been light outside,
for the past three months ... ever since March 21 .
-- The sun won't set, and it won't be dark outside,
for another three months ... until September 21.
-- Here at the North pole, it stays daylight for six months straight.
Today, on June 21, we're exactly halfway through the period of
continuous daylight.
