Mole Concept
Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry — NCERT Unit 1
Phase 1 — Conceptual Foundations
Nature of Matter
Matter = has mass & occupies space (“stuff”)
States
Solid: fixed shape & volume
Liquid: fixed volume, variable shape
Gas: variable shape & volume
Bridge: tug of war between attractions vs particle motion
Classification
Mixtures
Homogeneous (uniform, sugar in water)
Heterogeneous (non-uniform, sand in water)
Bridge: roommates sharing room
Pure Substances
Elements: one atom type
Compounds: chemically bonded, fixed ratio
Bridge: marriage → new identity
Properties & Measurement
Physical vs Chemical properties
Mass vs Weight
Volume: 1 L = 1000 mL = 1000 cm³
Density = mass/volume (crowdedness)
Temperature: °C ↔ K (K = °C + 273.15)
SI Units: m, kg, s, K, A, cd, mol
Uncertainty in Measurement
Scientific notation
Significant figures
Rounding rules
Precision vs Accuracy (darts analogy)
Dimensional analysis = unit translation
Laws of Chemical Combination
Conservation of Mass
Definite Proportions (fixed recipe)
Multiple Proportions (whole-number ratios)
Reciprocal Proportions
Gay-Lussac’s Law (gaseous volumes)
Avogadro’s Law (equal vols = equal molecules)
Dalton’s Atomic Theory
Postulates (atoms = Lego blocks)
Limitations: isotopes, isobars, divisibility, bonding not explained
Phase 2 — Quantitative Toolkit
Atomic & Molecular Masses
Atomic mass (relative to C-12/12)
Average atomic mass = weighted isotopes
Molecular mass = sum of atoms
Formula mass = ionic units
Gram atomic/molecular mass = same number in g/mol
Mole Concept & Molar Mass
1 mole = 6.022×10^23 entities
Molar mass = g/mol
Conversions
Mass ↔ Moles (n = m/M)
Particles ↔ Moles (n = N/NA)
Volume (gas @ STP) ↔ Moles (n = V/22.4 L)
Molarity (M = n/V)
Bridge: mole = Rosetta Stone (atoms ↔ grams ↔ liters)
Percentage Composition
% element = (mass of element / molar mass) × 100
Bridge: compound’s recipe card
Empirical & Molecular Formula
EF = simplest ratio
MF = actual numbers
Relation: MF = n × EF (n = M/M_EF)
Bridge: EF = skeleton recipe, MF = full recipe
Concentration Measures
Mass % (w/w)
Volume % (v/v)
Mole fraction (χ)
Molarity (M) → temp dependent
Molality (m) → temp independent
Normality (N) = equivalents/L
Equivalent mass (E = M/n)
Bridge: different “languages” of concentration
Stoichiometry
Definition: quantitative study of reactions
Steps: balance eqn → moles → mole ratio → convert
Limiting reagent: reactant that finishes first
% Yield = actual/theoretical ×100
Bridge: cooking recipe scaled to ingredients
