Study Notes

Definition and Characteristics

  • A mole (mol) is a unit of measurement in chemistry representing the amount of a substance.
  • It's defined as the amount of substance containing as many elementary entities (e.g., atoms, molecules, ions) as there are atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12.
  • This number is Avogadro's number, approximately 6.022 x 1023.
  • Essentially, one mole of any substance contains Avogadro's number of particles.

Molar Mass

  • Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance in grams.
  • It's numerically equal to the substance's relative atomic or molecular mass.
  • For example, the molar mass of carbon (C) is approximately 12.01 g/mol, based on its atomic mass.

Calculating Moles

  • Moles can be calculated using the following formula:
  • moles = mass (in grams) / molar mass (in g/mol)

Mole Ratios in Chemical Reactions

  • Chemical reactions involve specific ratios of reactants and products.
  • Stoichiometry involves using balanced chemical equations to determine these ratios.
  • Mole ratios derived from balanced chemical equations are crucial for predicting product yields and determining limiting reactants.
  • If you know the moles of one substance in a reaction, the mole ratios in the balanced chemical equation allow you to find the moles of other substances in the reaction.

Mole Concept in Solutions

  • Solutions are homogeneous mixtures of two or more substances.
  • Molarity (M) is the concentration of a solution, defined as moles of solute per liter of solution.
  • This unit is crucial in volumetric analyses.

Relating Moles to Mass, Volume, and Number of Particles

  • The mole concept allows converting between mass in grams, volume in liters (for gases under specific conditions, especially STP), and the number of particles using Avogadro's number.
  • These conversions provide crucial relationships in chemical calculations.

Examples and Calculations

  • A common application involves calculating the mass of a substance given the number of moles.
  • Another application is determining the number of moles of a reactant or product involved in reactions.
  • Consider a reaction: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O. If you have 2 moles of H2, the mole ratio shows you'd need 1 mole of O2 to completely react.
  • Calculating dilutions involves finding the number of moles of solute after a solution is diluted.
