    Show answer

    The mole (symbol: mol).

  2. The symbol for the unit mole is ?.

    Show answer

    mol

  3. What is the mass in grams of one mole of a substance numerically equal to?

    Show answer

    Its relative formula mass (Mr).

  4. What is the value of the Avogadro constant?

    Show answer

    6.02 × 10²³ per mole.

  5. What does the Avogadro constant represent?

    Show answer

    The number of atoms, molecules or ions in one mole of a given substance.

  6. How does the number of particles in one mole of one substance compare to one mole of another?

    Show answer

    It is the same — one mole of any substance contains the same number of stated particles.

  7. How does the number of atoms in one mole of carbon compare to the number of molecules in one mole of carbon dioxide?

    Show answer

    They are equal — both contain 6.02 × 10²³ particles.

  8. How do you calculate the number of moles from a given mass of a substance?

    Show answer

    moles = mass (g) ÷ relative formula mass (Mr).

  9. How do you calculate the mass of a given number of moles of a substance?

    Show answer

    mass (g) = moles × relative formula mass (Mr).

  10. What is the mass of 2 moles of water (H₂O, Mr = 18)?

    Show answer

    36 g (2 × 18).

  11. Is the topic of moles assessed at Foundation or Higher tier in AQA GCSE Chemistry?

    Show answer

    Higher tier only (HT only).
