  2. The Mole • The mole is a counting unit for chemists, the same way a baker uses a dozen. • 1 dozen = 12 objects • 1 mole = 6.02 × 1023 objects = 602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 objects • That’s almost a trillion trillion! • 6.02 × 1023 is called Avogadro’s number. • “Mole” in writing; “mol” in calculations.

  3. Representative Particles • Moles can be used to count “representative particles:” atoms, molecules, ions, and formula units. • The representative particle of an ionic compound is the formula unit. • The representative particle of a covalent compound is the molecule. • The representative particle of an element is the atom.

  4. Atomic Masses • What do the atomic masses on the periodic table represent? • Carbon has an atomic mass of 12; this means a carbon atom weighs 12 atomic mass units (amu). • The actual mass of an atom of carbon is only 2 x 10-23 grams. • Practice: What is the atomic mass of one molecule of CO2? 12.01 + 16.00 + 16.00 = 44.01

  5. Formula Weight • Formula weight: The weight of a molecule or an ionic compound. • Molecule: CO2 12.01 + 16.00 + 16.00 = 44.01 amu For molecules, formula weight is also called the “molecular weight.” • Ionic compound: NaCl 22.99 + 35.45 = 58.44 amu

  6. Molar Mass • Molar mass = the mass of one mole. • For atoms, molar mass is the same as atomic mass. • The molar mass of a compound allows you to convert between the amount of the element (moles) and its mass (grams). • If you want to convert from amount (moles) to mass (grams): • If you want to convert from mass (grams) to amount (moles):

  7. Molar Mass Examples • 1 mol N = 14.01 g N • Written as 14.01 g/mol • Calculate the following molar masses: • Br • CaF2 • NO2 • NaCl

  8. Molar Mass Examples: Solutions Calculate the following molar masses: • Br 79.90 • CaF2 40.08 + 19.00(2) = 78.08 g/mol • NO2 14.01 + 16.00(2) = 46.01 g/mol • NaCl 22.99 + 35.45 = 58.44 g/mol

  9. Conversion Factors: Mole-Mass Problems • The redportions in the examples above are the conversion factors. • Conversion factor: A ratio equal to one that expresses the same quality in two different ways. • Another example: To find the number of eggs in 3 dozen: 3 dozen x 12 eggs/dozen = # of eggs

  10. Mole-Mass Problems 1. What is the mass of 0.50 mol HCl? 2. What is the mass of 2 mol Zn? 3. How many moles are in 1.5 g of Cu? 4. How many moles are in 50 g H2SO4?

  11. Mole-Mass Answers 1. What is the mass of 0.50 mol HCl? 0.50 mol × 36.46 g/mol = 18.23 g HCl 2. What is the mass of 2 mol Zn? 2 mol × 65.41 g/mol = 130.82 g 3. How many moles are in 1.5 g of Cu? 1.5 g × 1 mol/63.55 g = 0.02 mol 4. How many moles are in 50 g H2SO4? 50 g × 1 mol/98.09 g = 0.51 mol
