The fundamental concept of the mole stems from the idea of the gram-atom (or gram-molecule): that an amount of one mole of a given substance has an associated mass, in grams, numerically exactly equal to the relative atomic (or molecular) mass of the substance. This means that the particular number of entities comprising one mole, Avogadro’s number, must be exactly equal to the gram-to-dalton mass ratio. Various interpretations of what a mole actually means and how this affects the ideal gas equation depend on how the amount of a given substance,n, is related to the corresponding number of entities,N. We look at three alternatives: (1) the conventional interpretation in whichnis directly proportional toN, where the proportionality factor is the reciprocal of the (evidently poorly understood) Avogadro constant; (2) a more easily comprehended alternative in whichnis equal toNentities; and (3) an interpretation in whichnandNboth represent the number of entities, but expressed in different ways. Regardless of these different interpretations, the form of the stoichiometric equations (relatingN,nand the total sample mass) and the form of the relationship between the universal gas constant and the Boltzmann constant remain the same.
