Question

what is the difference between mass and amount of substance​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The mass of an object is the amount of matter contained in it, as the definition goes, but more specifically speaking, it is the property of the object due to which it possesses a gravitational field. It is, generally, how heavy it is. It is measured, we all know, in kilograms.

Amount of substance is the number of constituent particles contained in it, atoms, ions or molecules.

It is measured in moles, where each mole represents 6.022 x (10^23) constituent particles.

For instance, if I take 23 grams of sodium, its mass is 23 grams, but amount of the substance is 1 mole, as 23 grams of sodium contains 6.022 x (10^23) sodium atoms in it.
