Moles
Chemical Quantities
Atomic Mass Unit
• Defined as unit of mass used to express atomic
and molecular weights, equal to one-twelfth of
the mass of an atom of carbon-12.
• It is equal to approximately 1.66 x 10-27 kg or
1.66 x 10-24 g.
Relative Atomic Mass
• Based on the 12C scale.
• On the 12C scale, atoms of the isotope carbon-12
are assigned a relative atomic mass (relative
isotopic mass) of exactly 12.
• The relative atomic mass of an element is the
average mass of one atom of the element
relative to one-twelfth the mass of one atom of
carbon-12.
• Using the 12C scale, the relative atomic mass of
hydrogen is 1.008 and Mg = 24.312.
Relative Atomic Mass
• The relative atomic mass of carbon is 12.011.
This is because naturally occurring carbon
contains a few atoms of carbon-13 and carbon14 mixed in with those of carbon-12.
• Each element exists as a mixture of isotopes.
Number on the bottom
of each square in the
periodic table is the
average weight of the
element (in amu).
Atomic Mass
• Atomic masses are
determined on a relative
scale.
• The standard scale
references the carbon-12
isotope = 12.000 amu
• All other atomic masses are
determined relative to
carbon-12
Relative Molecular/Formula Mass
• The relative molecular mass of an element or
compound is the sum of the relative atomic
masses of all the atoms in its molecular formula.
Ex: Relative molecular mass of H2O (H = 1.008; O
= 15.999) = 18.015 (No units)
• Metal compounds such as sodium chloride and
copper sulphate consist of giant structures
containing ions, not molecules. For ionic
compounds, chemists use the term ‘relative
formula mass’.
Relative Molecular/Formula Mass
• The relative formula mass of a compound is the
sum of the relative atomic masses of all the atoms
in its formula.
Relative formula mass of CuSO4 (Cu = 63.54; S =
32.064; O = 15.999) = 159.60 (no unit)
• Using atomic mass to determine no of atoms:
Ex: How many atoms of lead are present in 1.00 g of
lead sample? (1 amu = 1.66 x 10-24 g)
Ans: 2.9 x 1021 atoms
Using mass spectra to calculate relative atomic
masses
Chlorine consists of a mixture of two isotopes
with relative isotopic masses of 35 (35Cl) and 37
(37Cl) in the proportion of 3:1.
Of every four chlorine atoms, three are chlorine35 and one is chlorine-37.
Thus the average mass of a chlorine atom on the
12C scale, which is the relative atomic mass of
chlorine is: (3/4 × 35) + (1/4 × 37) = 35.5
There are two naturally occurring isotopes of
copper (Cu). 63C has an isotopic mass of
62.9296 amu. 65Cu has an isotopic mass of
64.9278 amu. Calculate the percent
abundance of each isotope of copper.
MCu = 63.546 amu
Ans: 63Cu: 69.15 and 65Cu: 30.85%
The Mole
• It is more convenient to use another unit for large
quantities of particles such as atoms or molecules.
• Chemists measure the amount of a substance in terms
of moles.
• One mole of an element or a compound has a mass
equal to its relative atomic mass, its relative molecular
mass or its relative formula mass in g.
• Molar mass (M) is the mass of one mole of an element
or a compound. The unit for molar masses is g mol-1.
• Ex: One mole of copper is 63.54 g, one mole of water
is 18.015 g; and molar mass of CuSO4 is 159.60 g.
The Avogadro Constant
• Amount of substance (mol) = mass of substance
(g)/molar mass (g mol-1)
• Avogadro constant (6.023 × 1023 mol-1) is the
number of atoms, molecules or formula units in
one mole of any substance.
• 1 mol of iron (55.8 g) contains 6.023 × 1023 Fe
atoms
• 1 mol of water (18.0 g) contains 6.023 × 1023 H2O
molecules
• 1 mol of CuSO4 (159.6 g) contains 6.023 × 1023
CuSO4 formula units.
The Avogadro Constant
• The relative atomic mass in grams (molar mass) of
any element contains 6.023 × 1023 atoms.
• No of atoms, molecules or formula units = amount
of substance in moles × Avogadro constant
• Avogadro’s constant provides the connecting
relationship between molar masses and atomic
masses
Chemical Formula
The subscripts in a chemical formula indicate the
number of atoms of each element present in a
compound.
The subscripts in a chemical formula can also
indicate the number of moles of atoms of each
element present in one mole of a compound.
Ex: In one molecule (mol) of glucose (C6H12O6),
there are 6 atoms (mol) of carbon, 12 atoms
(mol) of hydrogen, and 6 atoms (mol) of oxygen.
The Avogadro Constant
• How many molecules of bromine are present in
0.045 mole of bromine gas?
Ans: 2.7 x 1022
• How many moles of carbon atoms are present in
1.85 moles of glucose?
Ans: 11.1 moles
Molar Mass
• The atomic mass of a carbon-12 atom is 12.00
a.m.u.
• The atomic mass of one mole of carbon-12
atoms is 12.00 g
• One mole of any element is the amount of atoms
(molecules or ions) that is equal to its atomic
mass (in grams)
• This mass contains 6.023 х 1023 particles of that
element.
Molar Mass
When the number of grams of a substance equals
the formula mass of that substance, Avogadro’s
number of molecules of that substance are present.

Percent Composition

• What is the % composition of ammonium
carbonate?
Ans: % N: 29.2; % C: 12.5; % H: 8.3; % O:

Empirical Formulae
• The simplest ratio of elements in a
compound.
• An empirical formula shows the
simplest (smallest) whole number ratio
for the atoms of each element in a
formula unit of a compound.
• If the percent composition is known, an
empirical formula can be calculated.
Empirical Formulae
To Determine the empirical formula:
1) Calculate the moles of each element

Use molar mass and atomic mass
2) Calculate the ratios of the elts to each other
3) Find the lowest whole number ratio
 Divide each number of moles by the smallest
number of moles present
Note: The subscripts in a formula are expressed as
whole numbers, not as decimals. If the number(s)
are NOT whole numbers, multiply each number
by the same small integer (2, 3, 4, 5, or 6) until a
whole number is obtained.
Empirical Formula
Ex: When 10.00 g of ethene was analysed, it was found to
contain 8.57 g of carbon and 1.43 g of hydrogen. What is
its empirical formula?
Ans:
Moles of carbon = 8.57/12.00 = 0.714
Moles of hydrogen = 1.43/1.00 = 1.43
Ratio of combined atoms = 0.714/0.714 and 1.43/0.714 =
1:2
Empirical formula of ethene = CH2
This formula shows only the simplest ratio of carbon
atoms to hydrogen atoms. The actual formula could be:
CH2, C2H4, C3H6, C4H8, etc. as all these formulae give
CH2 as the simplest ratio of atoms.
Molecular Formula
• Experiments show that the relative molecular
mass of ethene is 28, which corresponds to an
actual formula of C2H4 and not CH2. The
relative molecular mass of a substance can be
obtained using a mass spectrometer.
• A molecular formula shows the actual number
of atoms of each element in one molecule of a
compound.
• The empirical formulae of some compounds
like ethene can be calculated using combustion
data in place of their composition by mass.
• The combustion data is obtained by burning the
compound in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide
and water.
• From the masses of carbon dioxide and water
produced, it is possible to calculate the masses
of carbon and hydrogen combined in the
compound.
• These masses of carbon and hydrogen can then
be used to calculate the empirical formula of the
compound.
Ex: A sample of a cpd containing only C and H was burnt
completely in oxygen. All the C was converted to 3.38 g
of CO2 and all the H was converted to 0.692 g of H2O.
Determine the empirical formula of the compound.
Ans: One mole of CO2 contains one mole of carbon.
44 g of CO2 contains 12 g of carbon.
Mass of C in 3.38 g CO2 = (12 × 3.38)/44 = 0.92 g
One mole of H2O contains 2 moles of H.
18 g of H2O contains 2 g of H.
Mass of H in 0.692 g of H2O = (2 × 0.692)/18 = 0.077 g
