Mole Set
Model Number: MTM-31
The Mole Set from Micro Technologies is an educational chemistry specimen set designed to help students understand the concept of a mole, molar mass and Avogadro's number through physical examples. The set contains four elemental specimens—copper, iron, zinc and aluminium—with each specimen representing one mole of the respective element, approximately 6.02 × 10²³ atoms.
Product Specification
The Mole Set from Micro Technologies is designed for chemistry laboratory demonstrations and educational activities involving the mole concept, atomic mass, molar mass and Avogadro's number. It provides students with physical specimens representing one mole of different elements, helping connect an abstract chemical quantity with tangible materials.
The complete set contains four elemental specimens: copper, iron, zinc and aluminium. Each specimen represents approximately one mole of atoms of its respective element.
One mole corresponds to approximately 6.02 × 10²³ elementary entities. For these elemental specimens, the entities are atoms. This allows the set to demonstrate that different elements can contain the same number of atoms while having different masses.
The Mole Set is particularly useful for explaining the relationship between atomic mass and molar mass. The numerical value of an element's relative atomic mass corresponds approximately to the mass in grams of one mole of that element.
For example, one mole of aluminium has a considerably lower mass than one mole of copper or zinc, even though each sample represents approximately the same number of atoms. This provides a practical illustration of differences in atomic mass.
Students can compare the four specimens and understand that equal numbers of atoms do not mean equal masses. The mass depends on the atomic mass of the element.
The specimens can also be weighed using a suitable laboratory balance. Experimental measurements can then be compared with accepted molar mass values from the periodic table.
This provides a useful bridge between theoretical calculations and physical laboratory observations, reinforcing fundamental quantitative chemistry concepts.
The set can support lessons involving Avogadro's constant, helping students visualize what the term "one mole" represents in chemical calculations.
It is also useful for explaining why chemists use moles instead of attempting to count individual atoms or molecules directly. The mole provides a practical method for relating microscopic numbers of particles to measurable macroscopic quantities.
By comparing copper, iron, zinc and aluminium, students can investigate how the identity of an element affects the mass associated with one mole.
The specimens may also complement lessons on the periodic table, atomic structure, relative atomic mass, chemical quantities and stoichiometry.
For quantitative classroom activities, the actual measured mass of each specimen can be recorded and compared with theoretical values, allowing discussion of experimental tolerance and measurement accuracy.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Mole Set is suitable for chemistry laboratories and educational institutions requiring a clear physical demonstration of one of the fundamental concepts in chemistry.

FAQs
What is a Mole Set?
A Mole Set is an educational collection of elemental specimens designed to physically demonstrate one mole of different elements and their corresponding molar masses.
Which elements are included in the Mole Set?
The set contains specimens of copper, iron, zinc and aluminium.
How many specimens are included?
The complete set contains four elemental specimens.
How many atoms are represented by each specimen?
Each one-mole elemental specimen represents approximately 6.02 × 10²³ atoms.
Do all four specimens contain the same number of atoms?
Approximately yes. Each represents one mole, so each corresponds to approximately the same number of atoms, although their masses differ because the elements have different atomic masses.
Why do the specimens have different masses?
Each element has a different atomic mass. Therefore, one mole of aluminium has a different mass from one mole of copper, iron or zinc.
Can the specimens be weighed during experiments?
Yes. A suitable laboratory balance can be used to compare their measured masses with accepted molar mass values.
Can the Mole Set be used to explain Avogadro's number?
Yes. It provides a practical way to explain that one mole represents approximately 6.02 × 10²³ particles.
Is the Mole Set useful for stoichiometry lessons?
Yes. Understanding moles and molar masses is fundamental to stoichiometric calculations, making the set useful as an introductory teaching aid.
Where is the Mole Set commonly used?
It is suitable for chemistry laboratories, schools, colleges, universities and educational science laboratories.
