Atomic weight is the average mass of an element’s atoms.
Learning Objective: Define the mole, and calculate the molar mass of a compound from the molecular formula.

5. 6.1 The Mole and Avogadro’s Number
Balanced chemical equations indicate what is happening at the molecular level during a reaction.
To obtain the correct ratio of reactant molecules, the reactants must be weighed.

6. 6.1 The Mole and Avogadro’s Number
Molecular weight (MW) is the average mass of a substance’s molecules.
A substance’s molecular weight (or formula weight for an ionic compound) is the sum of the atomic weights for all the atoms in the molecule or formula unit.

9. 6.1 The Mole and Avogadro’s Number
A mole is the amount of a substance whose mass in grams is numerically equal to its molecular or formula weight.
Molar mass: The mass in grams of 1 mole of a substance, numerically equal to molecular weight.

10. 6.1 The Mole and Avogadro’s Number

35. 6.3 Mole Relationships and Chemical Equations
In chemical reactions, the unit to specify the relationship between reactants and products is the mole.
Learning Objective: Determine molar ratios of reactants and products using balanced chemical equations.

36. 6.3 Mole Relationships and Chemical Equations
Coefficients in a chemical equation tell how many molecules, and thus how many moles, of each reactant are needed and how many of each product are formed.

37. 6.3 Mole Relationships and Chemical Equations
Coefficients can be put in the form of mole ratios, which act as conversion factors when setting up factor-label calculations.

48. Worked Example 6.6 Cont.
ANALYSIS: We are given the number of moles of a reactant and are asked to find the mass of a product. Problems of this sort always require working in moles and then converting to mass.

49. Worked Example 6.6 Cont.
Solution: STEP 1: Write balanced equation. 3 NO2(g) + H2O(l) 2 HNO3(aq) + NO(g) STEP 2: Identify conversion factors. We need a mole to mole conversion to find the number of moles of product, and then a mole to mass conversion to find the mass of product. For the first conversion, we use the mole ratio of HNO3 to NO2 as a conversion factor, and for the mole to mass calculation, we use the molar mass of HNO3 (63.0 g/mol) as a conversion factor.

51. Worked Example 6.7
The following reaction produced g of calcium oxalate (CaC2O4). What mass of calcium chloride was used as reactant? (The molar mass of CaC2O4 is g/mol, and the molar mass of CaCl2 is g/mol.)
CaCl2 (aq) + Na2C2O4 (aq)  CaC2O4 (s) + 2NaCl (aq)

52. Worked Example 6.7 Cont.
ANALYSIS: Both the known information and that to be found are masses, so this is a mass-to-mass conversion problem. The mass of CaC2O4 is first converted into moles, a mole ratio is used to find moles of CaCl2, and the number of moles of CaCl2 is converted into mass.

53. Worked Example 6.7 Cont.
Solution: STEP 1: Write balanced equation. CaCl2(aq) + Na2C2O4(aq) CaC2O4(s) + 2 NaCl(aq) STEP 2: Identify conversion factors. Convert the mass of CaC2O4 into moles, use a mole ratio to find moles of CaCl2, and convert the number of moles of CaCl2 to mass. We will need three conversion factors.

54. Worked Example 6.7 Cont.

55. 6.5 Limiting Reagent and Percent Yield
Only rarely are all reactants converted to products.
Learning Objective: Using mole ratios and the mass of reactants, calculate the theoretical yield and percent yield for a reaction.

56. 6.5 Limiting Reagent and Percent Yield
When running a chemical reaction, we don’t always have the exact amounts of reagents to allow all of them to react completely.
The limiting reagent is the reactant that runs out first.

57. 6.5 Limiting Reagent and Percent Yield
Theoretical yield is the amount of product formed assuming complete reaction of the limiting reagent.
Chemical reactions do not always yield the exact amount predicted.
Actual yield is the amount of product actually formed in a reaction.

58. 6.5 Limiting Reagent and Percent Yield
Percent yield is the percent of the theoretical yield actually obtained from a chemical reaction.

59. Worked Example 6.8
The combustion of acetylene gas (C2H2) produces carbon dioxide and water as indicated in the following reaction: 2 C2H2 (g) + 5 O2 (g) → 4 CO2 (g) + 2 H2O (g) When 26.0 g of acetylene is burned in sufficient oxygen for complete reaction, the theoretical yield of CO2 is 88.0 g. Calculate the percent yield for this reaction if the actual yield is only 72.4 g CO2.

61. Worked Example 6.9
The element boron is produced commercially by the reaction of boric oxide with magnesium at high temperature. B2O3 (l) + 3 Mg (s) → 2 B (s) + 3 MgO (s) What is the theoretical yield of boron when 2350 g of boric oxide is reacted with 3580 g of magnesium? The molar masses of boric oxide and magnesium are 69.6 g/mol and 24.3 g/mol, respectively.

62. Worked Example 6.9 Cont.
ANALYSIS: To calculate theoretical yield, we first have to identify the limiting reagent. The theoretical yield in grams is then calculated from the amount of limiting reagent used in the reaction.

63. Worked Example 6.9 Cont.
Solution: STEP 1: Identify known information. We have the masses and molar masses of the reagents g B2O3, molar mass 69.6 g/mol 3580 g Mg, molar mass 24.3 g/mol STEP 2: Identify answer and units. We are solving for the theoretical yield of boron. Theoretical mass of B = ?? g

64. Worked Example 6.9 Cont. Solution Continued:
STEP 3: Identify conversion factors. We can use the molar masses to convert from masses to moles of reactants (B2O3, Mg). From moles of reactants, we can use mole ratios from the balanced chemical equation to find the number of moles of B produced, assuming complete conversion of a given reactant. B2O3 is the limiting reagent, since complete conversion of this reagent yields less product (67.6 mol B formed) than does complete conversion of Mg (98.0 mol B formed).

65. Worked Example 6.9 Cont. Solution Continued:
STEP 4: Solve. Once the limiting reagent has been identified (B2O3), the theoretical amount of B that should be formed can be calculated using a mole to mass conversion.

67. Worked Example 6.10 Cont.
ANALYSIS: Treat this as a typical mass relationship problem to find the amount of ethyl alcohol that can theoretically be formed from 25.0 g of ethylene, and then multiply the answer by 78.5% to find the amount actually formed.

68. Worked Example 6.10 Cont.
Solution: The theoretical yield of ethyl alcohol is So, the actual yield is as follows:
