Explain the relationship between the mole, particles, grams, and Liters.
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:A mole is an arbitrary number of molecules in a single unit - refer to avogadro's number. Essentially, 1 mole is 6.022x10^23 molecules for ALL molecules or atoms, however one must remember that not all atoms/molecules are the same size, this is where mass comes into play. When you measure out 2 grams of carbon powder, there will be a lot more molecules present than if you weighed out 2 grams of thorium powder; this is because carbon is much smaller - kind of like a car filled with clowns, one given car can hold a lot of small clowns but only a few big ones; so the same volume is occupied but the amount of substance (clowns) varies on their own size. The arbitrary mass (relative to the hydrogen atom) for a molecule is the sum of its atomic components' atomic masses; e. g. C2H6's will have 2x12.00 (carbon) + 6x1.01 (hydrogen) = ~30 grams / mole.
