√1 mole of any substance contains 6.02 × 10₂₃ particles of that substance.

√ The mass of any substance is calculated by multiplying any subscripts in the formula by the average atomic mass, and totaling these sums for all of the elements in the formula.

√ Example: 1.0 moles of CH₄ would have a mass of 12.01 + 4(1.01) = 16.05g

√ To find the mass of 1 molecule of CH₄ you would simply divide the molar mass by the number of particles in one mole, 6.02 × 10²³.

√ 16.05g 1 mole × 1 mole 6.02 X 10²³ molecules = 2.67 × 10^-23 g/molecule
