1.1 Mole concept and Avogadro’s Constant
• 1 mol = • Avogadro’s Constant = • NA =• Number of atoms in 12 gram 12C (def.) =• 6.02*1023 units
• Mole = n = Amount of substance, with the unit mol
• 1 mol equals:– 6.02*1023 Hydrogen atoms, H– 6.02*1023 Hydrogen molecules, H2
– 6.02*1023 Water molecules, H20– 6.02*1023 formula units of Sodium Chloride, NaCl
If you have 1 mol of something, then you have 6.02*1023 units of that.
• In 1 mol of H2-molecules there is 2 mol Hydrogen atoms 1 = 2
• In 1 mol of H2O molecules there is 3 mol of atoms; 2 mol of H-atoms and 1 mol of O-atoms 1 = 3 =2 =1
1.2 Formulas
A 12C-atom have by definition the mass =12 All other atoms or molecules masses relates to that
mass. How much heavier or lighter they are.ÞMasses of single atoms and single molecules,
single formula units are therefore called:• Relative atomic mass, Ar
• Relative molecular mass, Mr
• Relative formula mass, Mr
Relative masses have no unit in IB (in other system the unit can be u or amu)
Relative mass => Mass of 1 mol• Mass of 1 H-atom: Ar = 1.01
Mass of 1 mol H-atoms = 1.01g Atomic mass
• Mass of 1 H2-molecule: Ar = 2.016 Mass of 1 mol H2-molecule = 2.016 g Molecular mass
• Mass of NaCl = Ar = 58.44 Mass of 1 mol NaCl = 58.44 g Formula mass
Different masses, same figures
Calculate the mass of one mole of a species from its formula.
The term molar mass, M, will be used.Unit: g/mol
If you know the formula of a compound, then you know the molar mass of the
compound.
You find the masses of the atoms in the Periodic table
The Molar mass of water , H2OM = 2*1+16 = 18g/mol
The Molar mass of (NH4)2SO4
M= (14+4*1)2 + 32 + 16*4 = 132 g/mol
The Molar mass of CuSO4*5H2OM= 63.5 + 32 + 16*4 + 5(2*1 + 16) = 249.5 g/mol
Relationship between the amount of substance in moles, mass and molar mass => The table

Percent Composition of Compounds
Percent composition of a compound is usually the Mass percent of the elements in a compound, e.g. H2O M = 18 g/mol
Mass% H = 2/18 = 0.111 = 11.1%Mass% O = 16/18 = 0.888 = 88.8%(Very seldom is the % composition referred to number of atoms; e.g. H2O have 3 atoms% H= 2/3 = 67% and %O = 1/3 = 33%)
Empirical and Molecular formula• Molecular formula: Shows the actual number of each
atom/element in a compound, e.g.Ethane C2H6
Glucose C6H12O6
• Empirical formula: Shows only the ratio of the elements in a compound, e.g.Ethane CH3
Glucose CH2O
(Formulas of salts is empirical formulas)
Determining the Empirical formula
• You can determine the empirical formula from the percentage composition
1. Use the table2. Assume that you have 100g of the compound3. Calculate number of moles4. Compare Mole-ration. The ratio give the
formula
Example
A compound is found to consist of: 70.58 % C, 5.93 % H, 23.49 % O (=100%)
What’s the formula for this compound?
1. Assume 100 g of the compound.2. Calculate number of moles
C H OMass% 70.58 5.93 23.49
(=100%)
m 70.58 5.93 23.49 g (=100g)
M 12.01 1.01 16.00 g/moln 5.88 5.87 1.47 mol
Check the ratio (divide with the lowest)
C H O 5.88 5.87 1.47 1.47 1.47 1.47
4 : 4 : 1Empirical formula
C4H4O
Molecular formula
If you know the Empirical formula, C4H4O, and you know the Molar mass of the compound, 136 g/mol then you can calculate the Molecular formula.
C4H4O M = 68 g/mol To LowC8H8O2 M = 136 g/mol CorrectC12H12O3 M = 204 g/mol To High
1.3 Chemical Equations
• A chemical reaction describes what is going on in a chemical reaction.
• Shows the Reactant(s)• Shows the Product(s)• Show the Ratio between the compounds (if correct
balanced)
• Can show in which state the compounds are:(s) solid, (l) liquid, (g) gas, (aq) water solution (the most common)
Examples
Reactants ProductsPropane + Oxygen Carbon dioxide + water
Word equation gives only the compounds.Equation must be balanced
C3H8 + 5 O2 3 CO2 + 4 H2ONow we have a balanced equation = same number of all
elements on both sides of the reaction arrow. The green numbers = subscripts; cannot be changed
(a certain compound have a certain formula, if you change the formula you change the compound)
The red numbers = coefficients; changes so that the reaction will be balanced (coefficients is valid only for a specific reaction)
What does an equation tell us?
C3H8(g) + 5 O2(g) 3 CO2(g) + 4 H2O(l)• The state of the compounds• That you need 5 Oxygen molecules/Propane• 1 Propane molecule will produce 3 Carbon
dioxide molecules and 4 Water molecules• Etc• Or multiples thereof

limiting reactant, and decides amount of product that can be formed.

1.4 Theoretical and Percent yield
The theoretical yield in the example was 136g.In real life nothing is perfect. Some of the
reactants may not react or they react and become something else etc.
Lets say that you only end up with 105g product.Percent yield = 105/136 = 77%
GAS
A gas have under standard condition the mol volume:
22.4 dm3/mol
Reacting gas volumes
For a gas at a constant temperature and pressure, the volume is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas.
The mol ration The volume ratio
If you have 2 dm3 of Hydrogen gas, which volume of Oxygen do you need for complete reaction and which volume of water vapour will you get? (Constant:
Pressure and Volume)
2 H2(g) + O2(g) 2 H2O(g)
2dm3 ? ?Mol Ratio 2 : 1 : 2 Volume Ratio=>
2 H2(g) + O2(g) 2 H2O(g)

pV=nRTp = Pressure; Pa V = Volume; m3 OBS! Usually in chemistry dm3
n = Mole; molT = Temperatur; K OBS! K = 273 + oC R = Gas constant; 8.314 J/mol*K

V= 17 dm3
1.5 Solutions
Solute + Solvent Solution = Substances = the liquid
You often have to dissolve chemicals to make them react
The composition of Solutions can be given in many ways, e.g.
Mass percent = Mass of substance/Mass of solution
Volume percent = volume of solute/ totale Vol Mol fraction = Xa = na/(na+nb)
Molality = moles of solute/kg of solvent
Gram/dm3 (IB sullabus)
Molarity = moles of solute/ dm3 of solution (IB sullabus)
Concentration in mol/dm3 is often represented by square brackets around the substance under consideration, eg [HCl]
Examples
