Moles (2024)

Dear Alice,

I’m sure I’m going to get a lot of flack for even asking, but after five years in Japan I can’t sit on this question any longer. What the heck are those huge moles so many Japanese have on their faces? I don’t mean the occasional freckle or demure beauty mark — I’m talking about enormous, protruding monster moles! I can’t begin to tell you how many Japanese I know, both men and women, who have big black moles on their faces. Are these kinds of moles specific to Japanese skin? Doesn’t it bother people to have moles in such a visible place? Why don’t they have them taken off?

FAQs

How do I solve for moles? ›

The unit is denoted by mol.
  1. The formula for the number of moles formula is expressed as.
  2. Given.
  3. Number of moles formula is.
  4. Number of moles = Mass of substance / Mass of one mole.
  5. Number of moles = 95 / 86.94.

How many moles of NaOH are in 10.0 mL of a 3.00 M solution? ›

The formula of molarity is shown below. To calculate the moles of solute, substitute the values of molarity and volume in the given formula. Therefore, the 0.03 moles of NaOH are present in 10.0 mL of a 3.00 M solution.

What is the molarity of a solution made by dissolving 3 moles of NaCl in enough water to make 6 liters of solution? ›

Molarity = Number of moles of the solute / Volume of the solution in litres. = 0.5M.

What does M mean in chemistry? ›

Molarity definition

Molarity (M) is the amount of a substance in a certain volume of solution. Molarity is defined as the moles of a solute per liters of a solution.

How much is 1 mole exactly? ›

The mole, abbreviated mol, is an SI unit which measures the number of particles in a specific substance. One mole is equal to 6.02214179×1023 atoms, or other elementary units such as molecules.

How many moles of NaCl are present in 600 mL of a 1.55 m NaCl solution? ›

The answer is 0.930 moles of NaCl.

How many moles are in 1000ml of water? ›

Water is 1 ml=1 gm, So 1000ml=1000gm. Hence 1000/18=55.56 moles in 1000 ml of water.

How many moles are in 15 mL of NaOH? ›

How many moles of NaOH would be present in 15.0 mL? 5.00 moles/L X 0.0150 L= 7.50 X10-2 moles of NaOH.

What is the molarity of a solution made by dissolving 2.5 g of NaCl in enough water to make 125 mL of solution? ›

We multiply 2.5 g NaCl by the conversion factor of 1 mole NaCl over the formula weight of NaCl, 58.5 g. That tells us that we have 0.0427 mole of NaCl. Now that we know the moles we can calculate the molarity. Moles of solute (0.0427) divided by the volume of the solution (0.125 L) gives us 0.34 M NaCl.

What is the molarity of a 3% NaCl solution? ›

Answer and Explanation: A 3% solution contains 3 g of solute dissolved in 100 mL of the solution. The molar mass of NaCl is 58.5 g. Hence the osmolarity of 3% NaCl solution is 1020 mosM.

What is the molarity of a solution made by dissolving 25.0 g NaCl in enough water to make 500 mL of solution? ›

Answer and Explanation: In this solution, the solute is NaCl. Moles of NaCl = massmolar mass = 25 g58.44 g/mol =0.43 mol m a s s m o l a r m a s s = 25 g 58.44 g / m o l = 0.43 m o l . The volume of solution = 1 L.

What does 5 mol mean? ›

Molarity is expressed in units of moles per liter (mol/L). It's such a common unit, it has its own symbol, which is a capital letter M. A solution that has the concentration 5 mol/L would be called a 5 M solution or said to have a concentration value of 5 molar.

What is M vs mol? ›

Working with Moles and Molarity

It is important to distinguish the unit of mass (moles) from the unit of concentration (molarity). Moles are simply a unit of mass and are abbreviated as mol. Molarity is designated by an upper case “M” and is defined as moles per liter.

How many moles of NaOH are in 250ml of a 3.0 M solution? ›

Explanation: It's a 3.0 M solution so 1 litre of solution contains 3 moles of NaOH. 250 ml of solution therefore contains 0.25 x 3 = 0.75 moles of NaOH.

How many moles of Na2CO3 are there in 10.0 mL of a 2.0 M solution? ›

1 Answer. There are 20. mol of Na2CO3 in 10.0L of 2.0M solution.
