Molar Conversions • Sometimes we need to know how many moles of a substance but all we know is the mass OR • We need to know what mass is necessary to give us a certain number of moles of a substance • This is when we need to be able to convert from moles to grams or grams to moles
So how do I do a molar conversion??? • Write down what you know • Determine what needs to be converted (is it g mol or mol g) • Calculate the molar mass • Set up a conversion factor to cancel out the units you do not want (all that should be left is the final unit you are solving for) • Solve!
Example How many moles are there in 15 grams of lithium? • Start with what we know: 15g Li • Next how will we convert this: We need to convert gmol • What is the molar mass? 6.94 • In order to cancel out unwanted units, we will need to multiply the number of moles per gram • 1 mol / 6.94 g • Complete the calculation • 2.2 mol Li
Example How many grams in 2.2 moles of sulfur? • Start with what we know: 2.2 moles S • Next how will we convert this: We need to convertmolg • What is the molar mass? 32 • In order to cancel out unwanted units, we will need to multiply the number of grams per mol • 32 g Mg/ 1 mol Mg • Complete the calculation • 70.4 mol Mg
Example How many grams are in 4.5 moles of Sodium Flouride, NaF? • Start with what we know: • Next how will we convert this: • What is the molar mass? • In order to cancel out unwanted units, we will need to: • Complete the calculation
Exit Ticket: How many moles in 5g of your compound? • Table 1- NiSO4 • Table 2- AlCl3 • Table 3- NaIO4 • Table 4- N2O6 • Table 5- H3PO4 • Table 6- Sn(OH)4 • Table 7- Pr(OH)3 • Table 8- K3PO4
