Counting Atoms
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 molecules (more or less...) How can we make this easier?
1 mole = x items
We still don’t want to count the things! The mass of one mole is the MOLAR MASS 1 mole of iron = atoms = 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.
OxygenO grams/mole
WaterH 2 O grams/mole
Calcium chloride CaCl grams/mole
Sodium chloride NaCl grams/mole
Fluorine gasF grams/mole
SulfurS grams/mole
Baking Soda NaHCO grams/mole
Potassium permanganate KMnO grams/mole
It seemed that...
