Mole Concept

Mole concept is a method to determine the amount of any substance that consists of some elemental particles using a grouping unit called ‘mole’. The mole concept enables one to handle the large amount of small elementary particles. The mole concept can be used in many calculations related to mole calculation, molar amount, mole ratio, and so on, which are significant in chemistry.

Calculate the number of atoms in the universe. The following steps will guide you through this calculation: a. Planets constitute less than 1% of the total mass of the universe and can, therefore, be neglected. Stars make up most of the visible mass of the universe, so we need to determine how many atoms are in a star. Stars are primarily composed of hydrogen atoms and our Sun is an average-sized star. Calculate the number of hydrogen atoms in our Sun given that the radius of the Sun is 7108 m and its density is 1.4g/cm3. The volume of a sphere is given by V=(43)r3 (Hint: Use the volume and the density to get the mass of the Sun.) b. The average galaxy (like our own Milky Way galaxy) contains 11011 stars, and the universe contains 1109 galaxies. Calculate the number of atoms in an average galaxy and finally the number of atoms in the entire universe. c. You can hold 11023 atoms in your hand (five copper pennies constitute 1.41023 copper atoms.) How does this number compare with the number of atoms in the universe?
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is the good cholesterol because adequate levels reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.

In an experiment, you need 0.125 mol of sodium metal. Sodium can be cut easily with a knife (Figure 2.5), so if you cut out a block of sodium, what should the volume of the block be in cubic centimeters? If you cut a perfect cube, what is the length of the edge of the cube? (The density of sodium is 0.97 g/cm3.)
A jar contains some number of jelly beans. To find out precisely how many are in the jar, you could dump them out and count them. How could you estimate their number without counting each one? (Chemists need to do just this kind of bean counting when they work with atoms and molecules. Atoms and molecules are too small to count one by one, so chemists have worked out other methods to determine the number of atoms in a sample.)
