The Mole What is it? How do we use it?
Calculating the mass of atoms: • Carbon-12 was used as the standard for relative mass. • A single atom of C-12 is assigned a mass of exactly 12 atomic mass units. • The symbol for atomic mass units is u or amu. • The mass of an atom expressed in atomic mass units is called the atomic mass of the atom.
Calculation of Formula Weight • Formula weight- sum of the atomic weight of each atom in the chemical formula. • Ex. Formula wt. of NaOH • FW = 1 (atomic weight of Na) + 1 (atomic weight of O) + 1 (atomic weight of H)= 22.989770 + 15.9994 + 1.00794 = 39.9971 amu
More Practice • Ex. Formula wt. of Al(OH)3 • 1 amu Al + 3 amu O + 3 amu H = 26.981538+3(15.9994)+3(1.00794) =78.0036 amu
Measuring Amounts • We often measure the amounts of things by one of 3 methods: • By count • By mass • By volume • For example, you can by soda by the six-pack or the liter.
We can buy oranges by count or by mass (weight). Ex. Oranges: 8 for $3.00 or $.79/lb It’s easy to buy big items by count: apples, oranges, pens, etc. but sometimes it’s easier to buy them when they are grouped together: Ex. A dozen eggs, a gross of pencils… what else? What about smaller items? How about grains of sand in a timer?
The Mole • Chemists use a number that is a specified number of particles to represent particles that are too small to count individually. It’s the Mole
The Mole • 1 mole is: 602,200,000,000,000,000,000,000 or 6.022 x 1023 representative particles A representative particle means ITEMS: atoms, molecules, formula units
Molar Mass (aka Molecular Weight) • Molar mass (also known as molecular weight) - mass of one mole something. • Scientists made it easy by making molar mass in grams the same number as atomic mass in amu. • Units of molar mass: grams per mole. (g/mol)
What is the mass of one mole of aluminum? 26.981538 g
Practice • What is the mass of 2.3 moles of sulfur? • Known: S mm is 32.066 g/mol. • Unknown: mass (in grams) • Start with what we know: • 2.3 mol S 32.066 g 1 mol
2.3 mol S 32.066 g S 1 mol Set up the problem so that the unit you want is on the top • Cross out the units that cancel and then multiply 2.3 mol S = 73.752 g
What if I know the grams and want to know the # of moles? • How many moles are in 412 grams of CaSO4? • Known: have 412 g. CaSO4 Molar mass of CaSO4 = 136.142 g/mol 412 g 1 mol CaSO4 136.146 g =3.03 mol CaSO4
Practice • How many grams are in 2.4 moles of NaCl?
A little background on Chemical Reactions… • Reactant 1 + Reactant 2 Product 1 + Product 2 • Reactants and products can be elements and/or compounds • (it depends on the type of reaction….)
