Study Notes
Avogadro's Number and the Mole
- Avogadro's number (6.022 x 1023) represents the number of elementary particles in one mole of a substance.
- It is crucial for relating macroscopic (measurable) quantities to microscopic (atomic/molecular) scales.
- A mole is the SI unit for the amount of a substance, containing Avogadro's number of particles.
- The mass of one mole of a substance is numerically equal to its molecular weight in grams.
Chemical Computations with Avogadro's Number and the Mole
- Atoms combine in specific ratios to form molecules.
- Moles of different substances can be compared using Avogadro's number.
- Moles can also facilitate determining the quantities of reactants and products needed in chemical equations.
- This allows chemists to calculate the masses of reactants and products involved in a reaction and use the relative ratio to determine the moles needed.
The Mole
- The mole (abbreviated mol) is the SI unit for the amount of a substance.
- Its definition is based on the number of atoms in 12 grams of pure carbon-12.
- A mole of any substance contains 6.022 x 1023 elementary entities.
Measuring Mass in Chemistry
- Chemists use molar mass (mass of one mole) to relate the mass of a substance to the amount of substance.
- Molar mass is typically expressed in grams per mole (g/mol).
- Finding molar mass involves calculating the sum of the atomic masses of all atoms in a molecule.
- The molar mass of a compound represents the total mass of Avogadro's number of its molecules.
Calculating Molar Mass (Empirical/Molecular Formula)
- Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance in grams per mole (g/mol).
- Use empirical formulas, % composition, & molar mass to find molecular formulas.
- To calculate molar mass, add the molar mass of each element in the compound, taking into account the number of atoms of each element in the formula.
Study Guide Questions (Examples):
- Molar masses for various compounds (H2CO3, CO2, etc.) are calculated by summing atomic masses.
- Problems involve determining the number of atoms or molecules in a given mass or vice versa.
- Percentage composition involves calculating the relative mass contribution of each element in a compound.
