MEASURING MASS
A mole is a quantity of things, just as…
1 dozen = 12 things1 gross = 144 things1 mole = 6.02 x 1023
things “Things” usually measured in moles
are atoms, molecules, ions, and formula units

You can measure mass, or volume, or you can count pieces
We measure mass in grams
We measure volume in liters
We count pieces in MOLES

MOLAR MASSDef: The mass of a mole of representative particles of a substance.
Each element & compound has a molar mass.
![Page 39: SCIENTIFIC MEASUREMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568140dc550346895daca61b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
MOLAR MASS OF AN ELEMENTDetermined simply by looking at the periodic table
Molar mass (g) = Atomic Mass (amu)
Ca20
40.08
* Thus, 1 mol Ca = 40 g
1 atom of Ca weighs 40.08 amu1 mole of Ca atoms weighs 40.08 grams
![Page 40: SCIENTIFIC MEASUREMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568140dc550346895daca61b/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
MOLAR MASS FOR COMPOUNDS
To calculate the molar mass of a compound, find the number of grams of each element in one mole of the compound
Then add the masses within the compound
Example: H2O
H= 1.01 2 (1.01) + 1 (15.999)= 18.02 g/mol
O= 15.999
![Page 41: SCIENTIFIC MEASUREMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568140dc550346895daca61b/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
SOME PRACTICE PROBLEMS How many atoms of O are in 3.7 mol of
O? 2.2 X 1024 atoms of oxygen
How many atoms of P are in 2.3 mol of P? 1.4 x 1024 atoms of phosphorus
How many atoms of Ca are there in 2.5 moles of CaCl2? 1.5 x 1024 atoms Ca
How many atoms of O are there in 1.7 moles of SO4? 4.1 x 1024 atoms of oxygen

Remember!!!! The molar mass of any substance (in
grams) equals 1 mole This applies to ALL substance: elements,
molecular compounds, ionic compounds Use molar mass to convert between mass
and moles Ex: Mass, in grams, of 6 mol of MgCl2 ?
mass of MgCl2 = 6 mol MgCl2 92.21 g MgCl2 1 mol
MgCl2
= 571.26 g MgCl2

VOLUME AND THE MOLE
Volume varies with changes in temperature & pressure
Gases are predictable, under the same physical conditions
Avogadro’s hypothesis helps explain:equal volume of gases, at the same temp and pressure contains equal number of particles
Ex: helium balloon
![Page 44: SCIENTIFIC MEASUREMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568140dc550346895daca61b/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Gases vary at different temperatures, makes it hard to measure
Because of variation use STP Standard Temperature and Pressure Temperature = 0° C Pressure = 1 atm (atmosphere) or 101.3
kPal

Molar Volume
At STP:1 mole, 6.02 x 1023 atoms, of any gas has a volume of 22.4 L
1 mole gas = 22.4 L gas
Called Molar Volume Used to convert between # of moles and
vol of a gas @ STP Ex: what is the vol of 1.25 mol of sulfur gas
1.25 mol S 22.4 L = 28.0 L 1 mol

MOLAR MASS FROM DENSITY Different gases have different densities Density of a gas measured in g/L @ a specific
temperature Can use the following formula to solve :
grams = grams X 22.4 Lmole L 1 mole Ex: Density of gaseous compound containing
oxygen and carbon is 1.964 g/ L, what is the molar mass?
grams = 1.964 g X 22.4 L then you solve
mole 1 L 1 mole = 44.o g/mol

Molarity
Def: the concentration of a solution. How many moles/liter
Can be used to calculate # of moles of a solute
Ex: Household laundry bleach is a dilute aqueous solution of sodium hypochlorite (NaClO). How many moles of solute are present in 1.5 L of 0.70 M NaClO?

Calculating Percent Composition of a Compound Like all percent problems: a part ÷ the
whole1. Find the mass of each of the components
(the elements)2. Next, divide by the total mass of the
compound3. Then X 100 % = percent
Formula:% Composition = Mass of element X 100%
Mass of compound
![Page 50: SCIENTIFIC MEASUREMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568140dc550346895daca61b/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Method #1: % Comp When Actual Masses are Given
A compound is formed when 9.03 g of Mg combines completely with 3.48 g of N.
What is the percent composition of the compound?1. First add the 2 mass of the 2 compounds to
reach the total mass 9.03 g Mg + 3.48 g N = 12.51 g Mg3N2
1. Find the % of each compound
% Mg= 9.03 g Mg X 100% = 72.2 %12.51 g Mg3N2
% N= 3.48 g N X 100% = 27.8 % 12.51 g Mg3N2

Method 2: % Comp When Only The Formula is Known Can find the percent composition of a
compound using just the molar mass of the compound and the element
% mass=mass of the element 1 mol cmpd X100%
molar mass of the compound Example:
Find the percent of C in CO2
12.01 g C X 100% = 27.3% C
44.01 g CO2
Can find O % by subtracting 27.3% from 100%
![Page 52: SCIENTIFIC MEASUREMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568140dc550346895daca61b/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Using % Composition Can use % composition as a conversion factor
just like the mole After finding the % comp. of each element in
a cmpd. can assume the total compound = 100g
Example: C= 27.3% 27.3 g C O= 72.7 % 72.7 g O
In 100 g sample of compound there is 27.3 g of C & 72.7 g of O
How much C would be contained in 73 g of CO2?
73 g CO2 27.3 g C = 19.93 g C
100 g CO2

EMPIRICAL FORMULAS Empirical formulas are the
lowest WHOLE number ratios of elements contained in a compound
![Page 54: SCIENTIFIC MEASUREMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568140dc550346895daca61b/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
REMEMBER… Molecular formulas tells the actual
number of of each kind of atom present in a molecule of the compound
Ex:H2O2 HOMolecular Empirical Formula Formula
CO2 CO2
Molecular Empirical For CO2 they are the same
Formula Formula

Formulas for ionic compounds are ALWAYS empirical (the lowest whole number ratio = can not be reduced)
Examples: NaCl MgCl2 Al2(SO4)3 K2CO3
Simplest whole number ratio for NaCl
![Page 56: SCIENTIFIC MEASUREMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568140dc550346895daca61b/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
A formula is not just the ratio of atoms, it is also the ratio of moles
In 1 mole of CO2 there is 1 mole of carbon and 2 moles of oxygen
In one molecule of CO2 there is 1 atom of C and 2 atoms of O
Formulas for molecular compounds MIGHT be empirical (lowest whole number ratio)
Molecular: H2O C6H12O6 C12H22O11
(Correct formula)
Empirical:
(Lowest whole H2O CH2O C12H22O11
number ratio)

CALCULATING EMPIRICAL We can get a ratio from the percent
composition 1.Assume you have a 100 g sample the
percentage become grams (75.1% = 75.1 grams)
2.Convert grams to moles3.Find lowest whole number ratio by
dividing each number of moles by the smallest value
![Page 58: SCIENTIFIC MEASUREMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568140dc550346895daca61b/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Example calculations Calculate the empirical formula of a
compound composed of 38.67 % C, 16.22 % H, and 45.11 %N
Assume 100 g sample, so 38.67 g C x 1 mol C =
12.0 g C 16.22 g H x 1 mol H =
1.0 g H 45.11 g N x 1 mol N =
14.0 g N *Now divide each value by the smallest value
3.22 mole C
3.22 mole N
16.22 mole H

…Example 1
The ratio is 3.22 mol C = 1 mol C 3.22 mol N 1
mol N The ratio is 16.22 mol H = 5 mol H
3.22 mol N 1 mol N
C1H5N1 which is = CH5N

EMPIRICAL TO MOLECULAR
Since the empirical formula is the lowest ratio, the actual molecule would weigh more
Divide the actual molar mass by the empirical formula mass – you get a whole number to increase each coefficient in the empirical formula
![Page 62: SCIENTIFIC MEASUREMENT](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568140dc550346895daca61b/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
EXAMPLE Caffeine has a molar mass of 194 g, what
is its molecular formula?1.Find the mass of the empirical formula,
C4H5N2O
2.Divide the molar mass by the empirical mass:194.0 g/mol =97.1 g/mol
3.Now multiply the entire empirical formula by 2
