Section 1: Measuring Matter Chemical Composition
Learning Goals • Explain how a mole is used to indirectly count the number of particles of matter. • Relate the mole to a common everyday counting unit. • Convert between moles and number of representative particles.
Counting Particles • Chemists need a convenient method for accurately counting the number of atoms, molecules, or formula units of a substance. • The mole is the SI base unit used to measure the amount of a substance.
Counting Particles • 1 mole is the amount of atoms in 12 g of pure carbon-12, or 6.02 x 1023 representative particles • an atom, a molecule, a formula unit, an electron, an ion, etc. • The number is called Avogadro’s number.
Converting Between Moles and Particles • Moles to particles:
Converting Between Moles and Particles • Particles to moles
Practice • Determine the number of Zn atoms in 2.50 mol of Zn.
Practice • Calculate the number of molecules in 11.5 mol of water.
Practice • How many moles are in 5.75 x 1024 atoms of aluminum?
Practice • How many molecules of AgNO3 are there in 3.25 mol of AgNO3? How many atoms are there?
