What are some ways that we make it easier to count groups of things?
Atoms and molecules are tiny... • Counting groups is a pain in the back. • 18 grams of water contain 602 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 molecules (more or less...) • How can we make this easier?
We still don’t want to count the things! • The mass of one mole is the MOLAR MASS • 1 mole of iron = 602 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 atoms = 55.85 grams
Posters around the room... • Lists of Elements and Compounds, with their Molar Mass • I did NOT give any hint as to how I found the molar mass. • You know how to look up mass on the periodic table for each atom. • You have 5 minutes to look at the posters and figure out what you would need to do.
Oxygen O2 32.00 grams/mole
Water H2O 18.02 grams/mole
Calcium chloride CaCl2 110.98 grams/mole
Sodium chloride NaCl 58.44 grams/mole
Fluorine gas F2 38.00 grams/mole
Sulfur S8 256.56 grams/mole
Baking Soda NaHCO3 56.54 grams/mole
Potassium permanganate KMnO4 158.04 grams/mole
