Stoichiometry

Amu – atomic mass unit
1 amu = 1.66 x 10 -24 g
Ex.
1 carbon atom = 12 amu
1 Fe atom = 55.85 amu
1 Na atom = ??? Amu




Calculate the number of copper atoms present in a sample that has a mass of 1779.4 amu.
1 Cu atom = ??? Amu

An amount of matter that contains as many objects as the number of atoms in exactly 12 grams of pure carbon 12. This number is 6.02 x 10 23 .
Avogadro's number = 6.02 x 10 23

1 dozen eggs = 12 eggs
1 mole eggs = 6.02 x 10 23 eggs
1 mole of elephants = 6.02 x 10 23 elephants
1 mole of Al = 6.02 x 10 23 Al atoms

But they all have different masses.

1 mol of C and 1 mol of Mg have the same number of particles
 but C has a mass of 12 amu and Mg a mass of 24 amu

If C has a mass of 12 g by definition then Mg = 24 grams.

So…..
1 mole of the element = 6.02 x 10 23 atoms of that element and…
1 amu of an element = grams of 1 mole of element

1 mol of an atom= average atomic mass of the element
Ex. 1mol H = 1.008 g H
1mol C = 12.01 g C
1mol Na = 22.99 g Na
Can then use this as a conversion factor

Find mass of each element
Number of moles of each element
Divide each elements moles by the smallest number of moles.
If the moles are not whole numbers, multiply each element by the number that converts the fraction to whole numbers
