Study Notes

Moles and Molar Mass

Mole Definition:
- A mole is the amount of substance that contains the same number of entities (atoms, molecules, ions) as there are atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12.
Avogadro's Number:
- 1 mole = (6.022 \times 10^{23}) entities.
Molar Mass:
- The mass of one mole of a substance, expressed in grams per mole (g/mol).
- Calculated by summing the atomic masses of all atoms in a chemical formula.
Calculation:
- Moles (n) = Mass (g) / Molar Mass (g/mol).
- Rearrangement: Mass = Moles × Molar Mass.
Units:
- Moles (n) - mol
- Molar Mass - g/mol
- Mass - g

Stoichiometry

Definition:
- The calculation of reactants and products in chemical reactions.
Chemical Equations:
- Balanced chemical equations represent the ratios of moles of reactants and products.
Mole Ratios:
- Derived from the coefficients of a balanced equation.
- Used to convert between moles of different substances.
Example:
- For the reaction (aA + bB \rightarrow cC + dD),
  - Mole ratio: ( \frac{n_A}{a} = \frac{n_B}{b} = \frac{n_C}{c} = \frac{n_D}{d} ).
Limiting Reactants:
- The reactant that is completely consumed in a reaction, limiting the amount of product formed.
Calculating Yield:
- Theoretical Yield: Maximum amount of product predicted by stoichiometry.
- Actual Yield: Amount of product actually obtained.
- Percent Yield = (Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield) × 100%.
Steps for Stoichiometric Calculations:
1. Write a balanced chemical equation.
2. Determine the mole ratio.
3. Convert known quantities to moles.
4. Use mole ratios to find moles of the desired substance.
5. Convert moles back to grams if needed using molar mass.

Moles and Molar Mass

A mole is defined as the quantity of substance that contains (6.022 \times 10^{23}) entities, equivalent to the number of atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12.
Avogadro's Number: Essential constant that quantifies the number of entities in one mole, (6.022 \times 10^{23}).
Molar Mass is the mass of one mole of a substance, measured in grams per mole (g/mol), determined by adding atomic masses from the chemical formula.
Formula for calculating moles: (n = \frac{\text{Mass (g)}}{\text{Molar Mass (g/mol)}}).
Rearrangement of the formula allows calculation of mass: (\text{Mass} = \text{Moles} \times \text{Molar Mass}).
Units specific to the study of moles are:
- Moles (n) - mol
- Molar Mass - g/mol
- Mass - g

Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry refers to the quantitative relationship between reactants and products in chemical reactions.
Chemical Equations must be balanced to accurately represent the mole ratios of reactants and products involved.
Mole Ratios arise from the coefficients in a balanced equation and allow conversions between moles of different substances.
In a reaction represented as (aA + bB \rightarrow cC + dD), the mole ratio can be expressed as: (\frac{n_A}{a} = \frac{n_B}{b} = \frac{n_C}{c} = \frac{n_D}{d}).
Limiting Reactant is the reactant that gets consumed fully, thereby restricting the overall amount of product that can form.
To compute yield:
- Theoretical Yield is the maximum possible product based on stoichiometric calculations.
- Actual Yield refers to the product quantity obtained from the reaction.
- Percent Yield is calculated by the formula: (\text{Percent Yield} = \left(\frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}}\right) \times 100%).
Steps for performing stoichiometric calculations include:
- Writing a balanced chemical equation.
- Determining the appropriate mole ratios.
- Converting known quantities into moles.
- Using mole ratios to ascertain the moles of the desired product.
- Converting moles back to grams using molar mass if necessary.
