1. In what field of science do we most often use the mole?
2. Why do you think chemists prefer using the mole? Why don't they just count each
particle?
3. What did Lorenzo Romano Amedeo Carlo Avogadro theorize in 1811?
4. Can you give an example of a way that you use moles in your everyday life? If you can't
think of one, can you create an instance where using the mole might be a benefit for you?
5. If you have a balloon filled with one mole of gas at zero degrees Celsius at a pressure of
one atmosphere, how many gas particles do you have?
6. The mole is a really helpful way to count really small things. Are there other methods we
use to help us count? Do we have a number that helps us group really large things? Give
some examples of how we group items on a daily basis.
7. What's another name for the mole?
8. How big would a mole of basketballs be?

1) A mole of anything is how many of that thing? (give the number):
2) Why do we want to use the concept of moles?
3) Once we know the number of moles we can convert to the number of:
____________________ or ______________________ and vice versa.
4) How many grams of water are in one mole of water?
5) How many molecules of water are in one mole of water?

moles do you get?
3. YOU TRY (not on the website)

b. How many moles in 64 grams of CH4?
4. What is the formula to determine the mass in grams of 3.6 mols of H2SO4?
5. YOU TRY (not on website)
a. What is the mass in grams of 4.2 mols of FeO2?

After completing the Webquest answer 10 questions in the assessment section of moodle for this
course.
Bonus:
There are several Mole Songs out thereCan you make one better than these? You may use the
lyrics by Michael Outfit if you like or you may want to create your own.

What if that is not your thing? Then, what is it that you are good at that you want to show off to
your instructor? Use technology to create a multimedia presentation to showcase the Mole. You
may work with a partner if you like. You will have three days from the day this webquest is
assigned to complete the optional extra credit and post in the Unit 6 Mole Discussion.
