Define Avogadro's number. How does it relate to the masses of chemical substances? 
Difficulty: Easy

Avogadro's number:

The number of representative particles one of the substances known as Avogadro's number

The Avogadro's constant or number 6.02 x 1023 is the number of atoms of carbon in exactly 12 g of Carbon-12.

 

Relation of Avogadro's number to the masses of chemical substances:

One mole of hydrogen atoms = 6.02 x 1023 atoms of hydrogen (H) = 1 a.m.u

One more of hydrogen molecules = 6.02 x 1023 molecules of hydrogen (H2) = 2 a.m.u

One mole of water = 6.02 x 1023 molecules of water (H2O) = 18 a.m.u
