Mole and gram mole.
Mole is a number equal to 6.02×10^23 particals (atoms, molecules or ions ) also called avogadro number. While gram mole is a quantity equal to atomic weight or molecular weight in grams (gram atom or gram molecule). Since 6.02×10^23 particals weigh aqual to atomic weight or molecular weight in grams therefore mole and gram mole are used interchangeably.
eg one mole of water means 6.02×10^23 water molecules. And one gram mole of water means 18 gram water. And 18 g water contains 6.02×10^23 water molecules.
Atomic/ molecular weight :
The weight of one atom/molecule of a substance is called atomic weight or molecular weight. Its unit is amu or unit less.
1. Hydrogen.
6.02×10^23 H atoms =1.008g
1 H atom = x
X= 1.008×1/6.02×10^23 =1.67×20^-24 g =1amu
So the weight of one atom of hydrogen (atomic weight of H) is 1 amu
2. Oxygen.
6.02×10^23 oxygen atoms = 15.9 g
1 oxygen atom = X
X =1×15.9/ 6.02×10^23 = 2.64×10^-23 g = 15.9 amu
(1.66×10^-24 g = 1amu
2.64×10^-23 g = X
X=2.62×10^-23×1/ 1.66×10^-24 =15.9 g)
So (the weight of one atom) atomic weight of oxygen is 15.9 amu.
3. Water.
6.02×10^23 water molecules = 18 g
1 water molecule = X g
X =1×18/ 6.02×10^23 = 2.99×10^-23 g
÷1.66×10^-24 =18 amu
So 18 amu is the weight of one molecule of water ( molecular weight of water.
pH and gram mole
For water [H*] = 10^-7 mole/ L or g mole/ L at 25°C
Since 1 mole of H* = 1 g of H*
Therefore 10^-7 mole of H* = 10^-7 g H*
So one L (1kg)of water contains 10^-7 g if H*
Also for water [OH-]= 10^-7 g mole/ L
Since one g mole of OH- =17 g
Therefore 10^-7 g mole of OH- 17×10^-7 g.
So one L (1kg) of watet contains 17×10^-7 g of OH-.
