A Teacher’s Prayer

Generous and ever loving God,

You have entrusted me
with this great responsibility
of molding not just the mind
but the whole person
of the young people under my care.
Thank you for helping me grow
and develop as an educator.
This is an important mission
to which you have called me.
Help me to remember this
when I am tired of writing my lesson plans,
preparing my visual materials,
Thinking of my teaching strategies
and following up my students’ behavior
and performance.
Help me to be patient.
Keep me always healthy and calm
and may I never get annoyed with students
who need special attention in class
or who do not seem to be interested
in my lesson.
Grant me the wisdom to learn new ideas,
methods and techniques
to make my lessons more fruitful
and meaningful.
May I be filled with your Holy Spirit
to make me ever joyful and hopeful.
May I be faithful and loving instrument
in the building up of your kingdom on earth
as I try to follow the example of your Son
Jesus Christ, the greatest Teacher. Amen.

absolute zero (that is, very near
5000000000000000000♠0 K or
5000000000000000000♠−273.15 °C).
This state was first predicted, generally, in

protons has a positive charge
charge of an ion = no. of protons –
no. of electrons

The Mole Concept

Christopher G. Hamaker, Illinois State University, Normal IL

© 2005, Prentice Hall

 The Mole
• The mole (mol) is a unit of measure for an
amount of a chemical substance.
• A mole is Avogadro’s number of particles, that
is 6.02 × 1023 particles.
1 mol = Avogadro’s Number = 6.02 × 1023 units
• We can use the mole relationship to convert
between the number of particles and the mass
of a substance.
Amadeo Avogadro
(1776-1856)

never knew his own number;

it was named in his honor by a

French scientist in 1909.

its value was first estimated

by Josef Loschmidt, an Austrian

chemistry teacher, in 1895.
