Study Notes
Mole Definitions
- A mole (mol) is a unit of measurement that represents 6.022 x 10^23 particles (atoms, molecules, ions, or electrons)
- One mole is equal to the molecular weight of a substance in grams
- Mole is a fundamental concept in chemistry that allows us to quantify and compare amounts of substances
Mole Conversions
- Mole to Gram Conversion:
- Number of moles (mol) x Molar Mass (g/mol) = Mass (g)
- Example: 2 mol x 20 g/mol = 40 g
- Gram to Mole Conversion:
- Mass (g) / Molar Mass (g/mol) = Number of moles (mol)
- Example: 40 g / 20 g/mol = 2 mol
- Mole to Particle Conversion:
- Number of moles (mol) x Avogadro's Number (6.022 x 10^23) = Number of particles
- Example: 2 mol x 6.022 x 10^23 = 1.2044 x 10^24 particles
Mole Reactions
- Mole Ratio: the ratio of the number of moles of reactants to the number of moles of products
- Limiting Reactant: the reactant that is consumed first in a reaction, determines the amount of product formed
- Excess Reactant: the reactant that is present in excess, does not affect the amount of product formed
Stoichiometry
- Stoichiometry is the study of the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction
- Stoichiometric Coefficients: numbers that are used to balance a chemical equation, represent the mole ratio of reactants and products
- Types of Stoichiometric Problems:
- Mole to Mole Problems: relate the number of moles of reactants to the number of moles of products
- Mass to Mass Problems: relate the mass of reactants to the mass of products
- Mole to Mass Problems: relate the number of moles of reactants to the mass of products
- Mass to Mole Problems: relate the mass of reactants to the number of moles of products

Mole Conversions
- To convert moles to grams: multiply the number of moles by the molar mass (Number of moles x Molar Mass = Mass)
- To convert grams to moles: divide the mass by the molar mass (Mass / Molar Mass = Number of moles)
- To convert moles to particles: multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's Number (Number of moles x 6.022 x 10^23 = Number of particles)
