Study Notes

The Mole Concept

  • Avogadro developed a method for counting atoms and molecules.
  • If elements are weighed in proportions equal to their relative atomic masses, the same number of atoms will result.
  • Avogadro's number (or Avogadro's constant) is 6 x 1023 and is represented by the symbol 'L'.
  • One mole of a substance contains 6 x 1023 particles of that substance.
  • The mass of one mole of an element is equal to its relative atomic mass in grams.

Converting Moles to Grams

  • Examples of elements and their masses are provided (e.g., Carbon = 12 g, Magnesium = 24 g, Silver = 198g).
  • The relative atomic mass of elements like Hydrogen (H), Carbon (C), Nitrogen (N), Oxygen (O), etc. are given.
  • One mole of Sodium is 23g and one mole of Oxygen is 35.5g.
  • The mass of three moles of Aluminum atoms can be calculated.
    • 1 mole of Al = 27 g
    • 3 moles of Al = 81 g

Converting Grams to Moles

  • Determining the number of moles from the mass of a given element is explained.
  • The mass of one mole of a compound is calculated by adding up the relative atomic masses of all component elements.
  • Calculation example including hydrated copper (II) sulfate CuSO4.5H2O.

Calculations involving Avogadro's Number

  • One mole of a substance contains 6 x 1023 particles (atoms or molecules) of that substance.
  • This concept is used in calculations:
    • Converting Moles to Number of Atoms or Molecules (e.g. 0.25 moles of Sodium have 1.5 x 1023 atoms.)
    • Converting Grams to Number of Atoms or Molecules (e.g. Calculate the number of atoms in 28.75 g of Sodium, answer = 7.5 x 1023 atoms).
    • Converting Numbers of Atoms or Molecules to Moles (e.g How many moles of aluminium atoms are there in 9 x 1022 atoms of aluminium, answer = 0.15 mole)
    • Converting Numbers of Atoms or Molecules to Grams (Calculate how many grams of zinc are present in 3 x1020 atoms of zinc, answer = 0.0325 g).
