What are practical ways to measure a
container full of sand??
Mass
 Volume
 How many (Count)

Matter is generally measured in one
of three ways:

By count:
 1 dozen apples = 12 apples

By mass:
 1 dozen apples = 2.0 kg of apples

By volume:
 1 dozen apples = .20 bushels of apples
Converting units

If you know how count, mass, and
volume relate to each other, you can do
conversions between them.

EX: How many bushels of apples are in
32.7 kg of apples?
The MOLE

It is not practical to individually count out
small objects like sand grains, so
instead we use a value that represents a
larger quantity
 Ex: 120 eggs = 10 dozen eggs
The MOLE

Atoms, molecules, and ions are extremely
small, so chemists use a unit similar to a
“dozen” to measure a specific number of
particles.
The MOLE

A MOLE is 6.02 x 1023 representative
particles of whatever is being talked about
○ Avogadro's number = 6.02x1023
○ Representative particles refer to the type of
substance that you are talking about
○ Abbreviated mol
Examples of Representative Particles
Substance
A balloon full of Neon
A cup full of Water
A spoon full of NaCl
Representative Particle
Neon Atoms
Water Molecules
NaCl Formula Units
Number of Iron ions in Water
Fe Ions
How much oxygen is in the air
O2 molecules
Measuring by Count

If you know the number of moles of
something or how many particles of
something there are, you can convert to
the other.
 Ex: How many moles of magnesium are
there in 1.23 x 1023 atoms of magnesium?
Measuring by Count
 Ex: How many atoms are in 1.22 mol of
Iron?
*Measuring by Count
 Ex: How many atoms of carbon are in 3.21
mol of C8H18?

Measuring by Mass

The mass of a mole of atoms of a given
element will always be the same.
 It equals the atomic mass expressed in
grams

Molar Mass: the mass of one mole of a
given particle (atom, compound, etc.)
Finding Molar Mass
(Important notes below…write this down)
Find the element;
 Find the molar mass;
 Multiply by the number of atoms of
that element;
 Write this number down;
 Repeat for each element;
 Take the sum.

Finding Molar Mass

C:
 C: 1 x 12.00g = 12.00 g/mol C

O2:
 O: 2 x 16.00 g = 32.00 g/mol O2

H2O:
 H: 2 x 1.01 g = 2.02 g H
 O: 1 x 16.00 g = 16.00 g O
18.02 g/mol H2O
Finding Molar Mass

C12H22O11:
 C: 12 x 12.01g = 144.12 g C
 H: 22 x 1.01g = 22.22 g H
 O: 11 x 16.00g = 176.00 g O
342.34 g/mol C12H22O11
Measuring by Mass

If you know how many moles of a
substance you have, you can find its
total mass using the molar mass of that
substance.
 Ex: What is the mass of 2.42 mol of H2O?
= 43.6 g H2O
Your turn!

Measuring by Mass

If you are given the mass, you can also
find the number of moles
 Ex: How many moles are there in 227.4 g of
Na2CO3?
106.0 g/mol Na2CO3
Measuring by Volume
The volume of 1 mole of a solid and
liquid are very different depending on
the substance
 However, the volume of one mole of a
gas is equal for every gas at the same
physical conditions

Avogadro’s Hypothesis

Equal volumes of gases at the same
temperature and pressure contain equal
number of particles.
 Even though particles are different sizes,
they still occupy the same amount of space
because there is a great deal of space
between gas particles
Standard Temperature and
Pressure

In order to compare the volume of a gas
to one mole of the gas, we must define
the temperature and pressure
 As Temp goes up, Volume goes up
 As Volume goes down, Pressure goes up
Standard Temperature and
Pressure

Standard Temperature and Pressure
(STP): temperature of 0 ˚C and a
pressure of 1 atm
 STP is used as a universal standard at
which we compare things
Measuring by Volume

At STP one mole of a gas occupies
22.4 L of space
 Ex: How many moles of oxygen (O2) would
be present in a 63.2 L container at STP?

Mixed Mole Conversions

We now know:
1 mole = 6.02 x 1023 particles = molar mass = 22.4 L of gas at STP
 Because
of this, we can convert from
count, mass, or volume to count mass or
volume.
 BUT, you must first convert to moles

Percent Composition
The percent by mass of each element in
a compound
 Usually used to determine the chemical
experimentally
 If the formula is known, the percent can
be easily determined from each atom’s
molar mass

Percent Composition

Ex: What is the percent composition of
H 2O
H: 2 x 1.01 g = 2.02 g
O: 1 x 16.00 g = 16.00 g
18.02 g H2O
% H = 2.02 g / 18.00 g x 100 = 11.2 % H
% O = 16.00 g / 18.00 g x 100 = 88.79% O
Percent Composition
Ex: CH2Cl2
C: 1 x 12.01 g = 12.01 g
H: 2 x 1.01 g = 2.02 g
Cl: 2 x 35.45 g = 70.90 g
84.93 g CH2Cl2
% C = 12.01 g / 84.93 g x 100 = 14.14 % C
% H = 2.02 g / 84.93 g x 100 = 2.38 % H
% Cl = 70.90 g / 84.93 g x 100 = 83.48 % Cl

 H: 1.0g x 1 = 1.0g
 Total: 40.0g
 Na: 23.0/40.0 x 100 = 57.5%
 O: 16.0/40.0 x 100 = 40.0%
 H: 1.0/40.0 x 100 = 2.5%


 N: 14.0g x 2 = 28.0g
 O: 16.0g x 6 = 96.0g
 Total: 148.3g
 Mg: 24.3g/148.3g x 100 = 16.4%
 N: 28.0g/148.3g x 100 = 18.9%
 O: 96.0g/148.3g x 100 = 64.7%

Assume you have 100 g of the compound.
Change “%” to “g”
Convert grams to moles for each element
Divide each mole amount by the smallest
mole amount, these numbers are the
coefficients for the E.F.
If the numbers from step 4 are not all whole
numbers, multiply the step 4 numbers by a
whole number so all step 4 numbers are
whole numbers
.5 moles  x 2
.333 moles  x 3
.25 moles  x 4

Ex: A compound is determined to be
26.56% K, 35.41% Cr, and 38.08 % O.

3.
Start with the E.F.
Determine molar mass of E.F.
Divide the molar mass of the unknown
molecule by the molar mass of the E.F.
 This tells how many E.F.’s are in the M.F
4.
Multiply the subscripts of the E.F. by
the number found in step 3
Molecular Formulas

Ex: What is the molecular formula of a
compound that has an empirical formula
of P2O5 and a molar mass of 283.89 g?
P: 2 x 31.0g = 62.0 g
O: 5 x 16.0g = 80.0 g
142.0g P2O5
283.89g =1.999 ≈ 2 therefore, MF=P4O10
