When I say "moles" I don't mean a creepy lil critter. I say this because that is exactly what I thought when we were introduced to them in class. In fact, a "mole" is not a critter at all. It is a measurement. What does it measure?
6.02x10^23 molecules
22.4 liters
Atomic mass of element
I did a really long worksheet on these. It took years--well it seemed to take years. At first I was really confused. It was math in a form I had never seen before. As I worked my way through this tedious tree of a worksheet, I figured out the way of the mole conversion and got a 44/50 on the paper due to careless mistakes.
