The joule per mole (symbol: J·mol-1) is an SI derived unit of energy per amount of material. Energy is measured in joules, and the amount of material is measured in moles. The joule (written in lower case ˈdʒuːl or /ˈdʒaʊl/ (symbol J) is the SI unit of Energy measuring heat, Electricity The mole (symbol mol) is a unit of Amount of substance: it is an SI base unit, and almost the only unit to be used to measure this
Physical quantities measured in J·mol-1 include:
For convenience and due to the range of magnitudes involved, these quantities are nearly always quoted in kJ/mol. For example, heats of fusion and vaporization are usually of the order of 10 kJ/mol, bond energies are of the order of 100 kJ/mol, and ionization energies of the order of 1000 kJ/mol.
One can convert to electronvolts using the fact that
1 eV = 1 J/C = F J/mol of electrons = (96485. 38 ± 0. 02) J/mol of electrons
where F is Faraday's constant. In Physics and Chemistry, the Faraday constant (named after Michael Faraday) is the magnitude of Electric charge per mole of
