Mol VS Mole

[Matlynn Giles 2E]

I am sure this is a very basic questions... but are Mol and Mole the same thing? After watching the lecture I just want to make sure my notes are accurate.

[Sophia Hu 1A]

Yes they are the same thing! mol is just a shortened way of writing mole.

[Shrey Pawar 2A]

Yes, mol is just an abbreviation for a mole!

[Q Scarborough 1b]

Hello,

Yes Mole and mol are the same thing. Mol can be shorthand for Mole.

Hope this helped!

[Shrinidhy Srinivas 3L]

They're the same thing! Mol is just an abbreviation of mole.

[Joey_Okumura_1E]

Another thing to note is that M does not stand for mole. M is used for molarity and stands for mol/L.

Another thing to note is that M does not stand for mole. M is used for molarity and stands for mol/L.

Adding to this, they sometimes use "c" for molarity as well(like they did in the textbook), and it stands for concentration which is what molarity essential is. To be honest, though, I sometimes get confused because I think they're talking about the speed of light.

Yes and to add to this. moles/number of moles is represented by n in equations.

[BKoh_2E]

Yes, they are both the same. Be careful not to confuse them as a shortened version of molecule, especially when doing conversions.

[SahajDole_1C]

Mole and mol are indeed the same exact thing. mol is just the way most people write the word out during chemical equations and problems.

[Stacey Phan 2I]

The terms "mol" and "mole" represent the same thing. People tend to write mol as an abbreviation.

[Kevin Pilcher 3J]

Yes they're the same thing. Mol is just a shorter way of saying mole. I don't know why it's that hard to add the "e" but I guess it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Violet Kwan 3H]

Yep! For example, when it says "mol H" it means the same thing as "mole(s) of hydrogen" :)

[Serena Song 1A]

Yup, mol is just a shorthand for mole! Unfortunately mol almost looks like an abbreviation for molecule (which I've seen abbreviated as mlcl before).

[SamanthaTolentino 3D]

Yeah, they're the same exact thing. Mol for Mole is basically the same exact thing as L for Liters

[Seraphina Joseph 1C]

n stands for moles of solute in the molarity equation M=n/v

[simona_krasnegor_1C]

yes they are the same thing! which is a little funny considering that it is only 1 letter shorter and is still an abbreviation.

[derickngo3d]

They are the same thing.
