Number of Moles

One of the essential skills a chemistry student crucially required to master is to find the number of moles of a substance. Without it, I believe they soon will find themselves at the lost end. I share here four formulas for the number of moles.

 
 Please take note:
  • RAM  = Relative Atomic Mass
  • RMM = Relative Molecular Mass 
  • Avogadro's Constant = 6.02 x 1023 mol-1
  • Molar Volume of Gas = 24 dm3mol-1 at room condition or 22.4 dm3mol-1 at STP     
Every year my students would ask me this question, "Sir, what is the best way to memorize these formulas?
And I said, "Please don't worry about that, I'm sure they will eventually stick to your mind. So here is the homework for the weekend, I want them on my table by next Monday morning."
