1. Counting Atoms
Chemistry is a quantitative science—we need a “counting unit.”
MOLE - 1 mole is the amount of substance that contains as many particles (atoms, molecules) as there are in 12.0 g of 12C.
Avogadro’s Number
x 1023
There is Avogadro’s number of particles in a mole of any substance.
518 g of Pb, 2.50 mol

2. Molar Mass One-mole Amounts
1 mol of 12C = g of C = x 1023 atoms of C
12.00 g of 12C is its MOLAR MASS
Taking into account all of the isotopes of C, the molar mass of C is g/mol
One-mole Amounts

3. PROBLEM: What amount of Mg is represented by 0.200 g? How many atoms?
Mg has a molar mass of g/mol.
PROBLEM: How many hydrogen atoms in moles of propane C3H8? In 2.7 moles?

4. Atomic Weights
Weighted average of the masses of the constituent isotopes if an element.
Tells us the atomic masses of every known element.
Lower number on periodic chart.
How do we know what the values of these numbers are? 15

5. MOLECULAR WEIGHT & MOLAR MASS
Molecular weight = sum of the atomic weights of all atoms in the molecule.
Molar mass = molecular weight in grams
Problem: What is the molar mass of ethanol – C2H6O?
1 mol contains
2 mol C (12.01 g C/1 mol) =
6 mol H (1.01 g H/1 mol) =
1 mol O (16.00 g O/1 mol) =
TOTAL = molar mass =

7. PROBLEM: How many moles of alcohol are there in a “standard” can of beer if there are 21.3 g of C2H6O?
(a) Molar mass of C2H6O = g/mol
(b) Calc. moles of alcohol

8. PROBLEM: How many molecules of alcohol are there in a “standard” can of beer if there are 21.3 g of C2H6O?

10. Empirical & Molecular Formulas
A pure compound always consists of the same elements combined in the same proportions by weight.
Therefore, we can express molecular composition as PERCENT BY WEIGHT
Ethanol, C2H6O
52.13% C
13.15% H
34.72% O

11. Percent Composition Consider NO2, Molar mass = ?
What is the weight percent of N and of O?
What are the weight percentages of N and O in NO?

12. A compound of B and H is 81.10% B. What is its empirical formula?
Calculate the number of moles of each element in g of sample.
Take the ratio of moles of B and H. Always divide by the smaller number.
Now, recognize that atoms combine in the ratio of small whole numbers.
Find the ratio of moles of elements in the compound.
We need to do an EXPERIMENT to find the MOLAR MASS. Experiment gives 53.3 g/mol
Compare with the mass of B2H5 = g/unit , i.e. Find the ratio of these masses.

13. Data to Determine the formula of a Sn—I Compound
Sn(s) + some I2(s) ---> SnIx
Reaction of Sn and I2 is done using excess Sn.
Mass of Sn in the beginning = g
Mass of iodine (I2) used = g
Mass of Sn remaining = g
Find the mass of Sn that combined with g I2.
Mass of Sn initially =
Mass of Sn recovered =
Mass of Sn used =
Find moles of Sn used:
Now find the number of moles of I2 that combined with Sn.
How many mol of iodine atoms?
Now find the ratio of number of moles of moles of I and Sn that combined.

14. Chemical Equations Look at the information an equation provides:
Can work in moles, formula units, etc.
Frequently, we work in mass or weight (grams or kg or pounds or tons).

15. Chemical Equations Law of Conservation of Matter
There is no detectable change in quantity of matter in an ordinary chemical reaction.
Balanced chemical equations must always include the same number of each kind of atom on both sides of the equation.
This law was determined by Antoine Lavoisier.

23. Percent Yields from Reactions
Theoretical yield is calculated by assuming that the reaction goes to completion.
Determined from the limiting reactant calculation.
Actual yield is the amount of a specified pure product made in a given reaction.
In the laboratory, this is the amount of product that is formed in your beaker, after it is purified and dried.
Percent yield indicates how much of the product is obtained from a reaction.

24. Percent Yields from Reactions
