THE MOLE The mole (mol) is the SI unit for the amount of substance that contains as many particles as there are in exactly 12 g of carbon-12.

AVOGADRO’S NUMBER A mole of any substance contains 6.02×10 23 representative particles of that substance. This is known as Avogadro’s Number.

REPRESENTATIVE PARTICLES A representative particle is the smallest particle of a substance that has all of the properties of that substance.

REPRESENTATIVE PARTICLES Different substances are made up of different types of representative particles. For example: Elements are made up of atoms. Molecular compounds and diatomic elements are made up of molecules. Ionic compounds are made up of formula units.

AVOGADRO’S NUMBER 1 mole = 6.02×10 23 atoms (monatomic element) 1 mole = 6.02×10 23 molecules (molecular compound or diatomic molecule) 1 mole = 6.02×10 23 formula units (ionic compound)

MOLAR MASS The molar mass of a substance is the mass in grams of one mole of that substance. The units for molar mass are g/mol.

MOLAR MASS OF AN ELEMENT The molar mass of an element is numerically equal to the atomic mass of an element in atomic mass units (which can be found on the periodic table). What is the molar mass of lithium? 6.94 g/mol What is the molar mass of carbon? g/mol

MOLAR MASS OF A COMPOUND OR A DIATOMIC ELEMENT The molar mass of a compound or a diatomic element is calculated by adding together the masses of the elements in a mole of the molecules or formula units that make up the substance.

BaCl 2 2H 2 O Anhydrous salt Water of hydration Hydrate Hydrates A hydrate is an ionic compound which contains water within its crystal structure.

HYDRATES A hydrate can be heated to remove the water. The salt that is left after the water of hydration has been removed is called the anhydrous salt.

CALCULATING THE PERCENT BY MASS OF WATER IN A HYDRATE The percentage by mass of water in a hydrate can be calculated using the following formula:

EMPIRICAL FORMULAS An empirical formula consists of the symbols for the elements combined in a compound, with subscripts showing the lowest whole- number ratio of the different atoms in the compound. Examples: CH 4, NH 3, CO, LiClO 3 Why aren’t N 2 H 4 or C 2 H 6 examples of empirical formulas? They are not in the smallest whole-number ratio.

STEPS FOR DETERMINING THE EMPIRICAL FORMULA 1.Determine moles of each element 2.Divide by the smallest value. If each resulting number is a whole number then they represent the subscripts. 3.If the numbers obtained in the previous step are not whole numbers, multiply each number by an integer in order to obtain a whole number.

1. What is the empirical formula of a compound that is 79.8% carbon and 20.2% hydrogen? First determine the number of moles of each element. Next divide each answer by the smallest number of moles. CH 3

4. A sample of a hydrated compound has a mass of grams. after drying the sample, a mass of 95.3 grams is recorded. determine the formula for the hydrate, LINO 3xH 2 O. First determine the mass of water driven off. LiNO 3 3H 2 O Next determine the moles of anhydrous salt and water. Finally, determine the value of x.

MOLECULAR FORMULAS Nonmetallic elements can bond together in more than one way. For example, carbon and oxygen can form CO and CO 2. The molecular formula of a compound indicates the types and numbers of atoms in a single molecule of a molecular compound.

MOLECULAR FORMULAS A molecular formula can be the same as the experimentally determined empirical formula, or it can be a whole-number multiple of it. For example, the molecular formula for methane is CH 4. This is also the empirical formula because it is in the lowest whole-number ratio. The molecular formula for hydrogen peroxide is H 2 O 2. The empirical formula for hydrogen peroxide is not the same as the molecular formula. The empirical formula would be HO.
