Molarity of a Solution
Atomic Mass• Most elements occur in nature as a mixture of
isotopes.
Element Number of stable isotopesC 2O 3Fe 4
• This is one reason why atomic masses are not whole numbers. They are based on averages.
Atomic Mass• As a reference, we use the atomic mass unit
(amu), which is equal to 1/12th of the mass of a 12C atom.
• One atomic mass unit = 1.661 x 10-24 gram
• Using this relative system, the mass of all other atoms can be assigned.
Example 29Si = 28.976 4947 amu
Atomic Mass• The average atomic weight of an element can be
calculated if the abundance of each isotope for that element is known.
Example - Silicon is a mixture of three isotopes. Isotope Mass (amu) Abundance
28Si 27.9769265 92.23 %29Si 28.9764947 4.67 %30Si 29.9737702 3.10 %
Atomic Mass• 92.23• 100
• x (27.9769265 amu) = 25.80 amu
• 4.67• 100
• x (28.9764947 amu) = 1.35 amu
• 3.10• 100
• x (29.9737702 amu) = 0.929 amu
• 28Si
• 29Si
• 30Si
• Average atomic mass for silicon = 28.08 amu
The Mole• The number of atoms in 12.000 grams of 12C can be
calculated. • One atom 12C = 12.000 amu
= 12.000 amu x (1.661 x 10-24 g/amu)1 atom = 1.993 x 10-23 g
• Number of atoms = 12.000 g (1 atom / 1.993 x 10-23 g) = 6.021 x 1023 atoms
• The number of atoms of any element needed to equal its atomic mass in grams will always be
6.02 x 1023 atoms, a quantity known as the mole.(6.02 x 1023 is also known as Avogadro’s number)
The Mole• One mole equals the atomic mass in grams of
an element mass of 1 mole of 12C = 12.000 grams
mass of 1 mole of C = 12.011 grams
mass of 1 mole of Na = 22.990 grams mass of 1 mole of H = 1.008 grams
mass of 1 mole of O = 15.999 grams
Mass and Moles
Atomic mass or molecular weight (MW) The average mass of an atom in an element,
expressed in atomic mass units (amu) or grams / mole.
Formula mass (or formula weight FW) The total mass for all atoms in a compound.
Mass and Moles
Example - Formula weight of NaOH• Molecular weight of Na = 22.990 g/mol• Molecular weight of O = 15.999 g/mol • Molecular weight of H = 1.008 g/mol• FW = (22.990 + 15.999 + 1.008) g/mol = 39.997 g/mol
Molarity
• Molarity is a the of concentration of an aqueous solution measured in units of moles per liter.
• 1 molar NaOH contains 39.997 grams of NaOH in 1 liter of solution
• Written as 1M NaOH• 0.1M NaOH contains 3.9997 g NaOH/liter of
solution
