3 Methods of Measuring

• Counting

• Mass

• Volume

Example 1

• If 0.20 bushel is 1 dozen apples, and a dozen apples has a mass of 2.0 kg, what is the mass of .050 bushel of apples?

Example 1

• Count: 1 dozen apples = 12 apples• Mass: 1 dozen apples = 2.0 kg apples• Volume: 1 dozen apples = 0.20 bushels applesConversion Factors:• 1 dozen 2.0 k.g 1 dozen

12 apples 1 dozen 0.20 bushels

Example 1

• 0.50 bushel x 1 dozen x 2.0 kg =

0.20 bushel 1 dozen

= 5.0 kg

Avogadro’s Number

• Named after the Italian scientist Amedo Avogadro di Quaregna

• 6.02 x 10 23

Mole (mol)

• 1 mol = 6.02 x 10 23 representative particles

• Representative particles: atoms, molecules ions, or formula units (ionic compound)

Mole (mol)

• Moles= representative x 1 mol

particles 6.02 x 10 23

Example 2 (atoms mol)

• How many moles is 2.80 x 10 24 atoms of silicon?

Example 2

• 2.80 x 10 24 atoms Si x 1 mol Si

6.02 x 10 23 atoms Si

= 4.65 mol Si

Example 3 (mol molecule)

• How many molecules of water is 0.360 moles?

Example 3

• 0.360 mol H2O x 6.02 x 10 23 molecules H2O1 mol H2O

=2.17 molecules H2O

Example 4 (mol gram)

• If you have 4.5 mols of sodium, how much does it weigh?

Example 4

• .45 mol Na x 23 g Na = 10.35 g Na = 1.0 x 10 2 g Na

1 mol Na

Example 5 (grams atoms)

• If you have 34.3 g of Iron, how many atoms are present?

Example 5

• 34.3 g Fe x 1 mol Fe x 6.02 x 10 23 atoms

55.8 g Fe 1 mol Fe

=3.70 x 10 23 atoms Fe

The Mass of a Mole of a Compound

• To find the mass of a mole of a compound you must know the formula of the compound

• H2O H= 1 g x 2

O= 16 g

18 g = 1 mole = 6.02 x 10 23

molecules

Example 6 (gram mol)

• What is the mass of 1 mole of sodium hydrogen carbonate?

Example 6

• Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate = NaHCO3

• Na=23 g

• H=1 g

• C=12 g

• O=16 g x3

• 84 g NaHCO3 = 1 mol NaHCO3

Mole-Volume Relationship

• Unlike liquids and solids the volumes of moles of gases at the same temperature and pressure will be identical

Avogadro’s Hypothesis

• States that equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of particles

• Even though the particles of different gases are not the same size, since the gas particles are spread out so far the size difference is negligible

Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP)

• Volume of a gas changes depending on temperature and pressure

• STP= 0oC (273 K)

101.3 kPa (1 atm)

Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP)

• At STP, 1 mol = 6.02 X 1023 particles = 22.4 L of ANY gas= molar volume

Conversion Factors

• AT STP

• 1 mol gas 22.4 L gas

22.4 L gas 1 mol gas

Example 7

• At STP, what volume does 1.25 mol He occupy?

Example 7

• 1.25 mol He x 22.4 L He = 28.0 L He

1 mol He

Example 8

• If a tank contains 100. L of O2 gas, how many moles are present?

Example 8

• 100. L O2 X 1 mol O2 = 4.46 mol O2

22.4 L O2

Calculating Molar Mass from Density

• The density of a gas at STP is measured in g/L

• This value can be sued to determine the molar mass of gas present

Example 9

• A gaseous compound of sulfur and oxygen has a density of 3.58 g/L at STP. Calculate the molar mass.

Example 9

• 1 mol gas x 22.4 L gas X 3.58 g gas =

1 mol gas 1 L gas

Molar Mass= 80.2 g

Percent Composition

• The relative amounts of the elements in a compound

• These percentages must equal 100

Percent Composition

• %element = mass of element x 100

mass of compound

Example 10

• Find the mass percentage of each element present in Al2 (CO3)3

Example 10

• Al2(CO3)3

• Al= 27 g x 2 = 54 g / 234 g x 100=23%

• C= 12 g x 3 = 36 g/ 234 g x 100= 15%

• O = 16 g x 9 = 144 g / 234 g x 100=62%

234 g Al2(CO3)3

Empirical Formula

• The simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound

• The formula obtained from percentage composition

Ex CH , CH4, H2O, C3H8

NOT C2H4, or C6H12O6 these could be simplified

Example 11

• Mercury forms a compound with chlorine that is 73.9% mercury and 26.1% chlorine by mass. What is the empirical fromula.

Example 11

Assume that you have 100 grams of the compound therefore:

Hg = 73.9 % 73.9 g

Cl= 26.1% 26.1 g

Example 11

Step 2: Change grams of your compound to moles

Hg = 73.9 g x 1 mol =0.368 mol Hg 200.6gCl= 26.1 g x 1 mol = 0.735 mol Cl 35.5 g

Example 11

Step 3: Find the lowest number of moles present

Hg = 73.9 g x 1 mol =0.368 mol Hg

200.6g

Cl= 26.1 g x 1 mol = 0.735 mol Cl

35.5 g

0.368 < 0.735

Example 11

Step 4: Divide by the lowest number of moles to obtain whole numbers

Hg = 73.9 g x 1 mol = 0.368 mol = 1

200.6g 0.368 mol

Cl= 26.1 g x 1 mol = 0.735 mol= 1.99=2

35.5 g 0.368 mol

Example 11

Step 5: Put the whole numbers into the empirical formula

Hg = 73.9 g x 1 mol = 0.368 mol = 1

200.6g 0.368 mol

Cl= 26.1 g x 1 mol = 0.735 mol= 1.99=2

35.5 g 0.368 mol

HgCl2

Molecular Formulas

• The subscripts in the molecular formula of a substance are always a whole-number multiple of the corresponding subscripts in its empirical formula

• We can obtain the molecular formula from the empirical formula IF we know the molecular weight of the compound.

Example 12

• The empirical formula of ascorbic acid is C3H4O3. The molecular weight of ascorbic acid is 176 amu. Determine the molecular formula.

Example 12

Step 1: First determine the molecular weight of the empirical formula

C3H4O3

C= 12 amu x 3

H= 1 amu x 4

O= 16 amu x 3

88 amu

Example 12

Step 2: Divide the molecular weight of the molecular formula by the molecular weight of the empirical formula

C3H4O3 176 amu = 2

C= 12 amu x 3 88 amu

H= 1 amu x 4

O= 16 amu x 3

88 amu

Example 12

Step 3: Multiply the empirical formula by the number calculated in step 2

176 amu = 2

88 amu

(C3H4O3) x 2 = C6H8O6

Quantitative Information from a Balanced Equation

2 H2 (g) + O2 (g) 2 H2O (l)

2 molecules 1 molecule 2 molecules

Or since we can’t count out 2 molecules

2 mol 1 mol 2 moles

The coefficients in a chemical reaction can be interpreted as either the relative number of molecules (formula units) involved in the reaction OR the relative number of moles

Example 13 (mol mol)

2C4H10(l) + 13 O2(g) 8CO2(g) + 10H2O(l)

How many moles of O2 do you need to react with 5 moles of C4H10?

Example 13

2C4H10(l) + 13 O2(g) 8CO2(g) + 10H2O(l)

How many moles of O2 do you need to react with 5 moles of C4H10?

5 mol C4H10 x 13 mol O2 = 32.5 mol O2

2 mol C4H10

Example 14 (gg)

2C4H10(l) + 13 O2(g) 8CO2(g) + 10H2O(l)

How many grams of O2 do you need to react with 50.0 g of C4H10?

Example 14 (gg)

2C4H10(l) + 13 O2(g) 8CO2(g) + 10H2O(l)

How many grams of O2 do you need to react with 50.0 g of C4H10?

50.0 g C4H10 x 1 mol C4H10 x 13 mol O2 x 32 g O2=179 g O2

58 g C4H10 2 mol C4H10 1 mol O2

Limiting Reactants (Reagents)

• The reactant that is completely consumed

• It determines or limits the amount of product that forms

• The other reactant(s) are called excess reagents

Example 14 (limiting reactants)

2C4H10(l) + 13 O2(g) 8CO2(g) + 10H2O(l)

If you have 25.0 g O2 and 25.0 g of C4H10,

what is the limiting reactant?

Example 14 (limiting reactants)

• 2C4H10(l) + 13 O2(g) 8CO2(g) + 10H2O(l)

25.0 g C4H10 x 1 mol C4H10 x 8mol CO2 = 1.72 mol CO2

58 g C4H10 2 mol C4H10

25.0 g C4H10 x 1 mol C4H10 x 8 mol CO2 = 0.481 mol CO2

32 g O2 13 mol O2

0.481 mol < 1.72 mol C4H10 is the limiting reactant

Theoretical Yield

• The quantity of the product that is calculated to form when all of the limiting reactant reacts.

Example 15 (Theoretical Yield)

• 2C4H10(l) + 13 O2(g) 8CO2(g) + 10H2O(l)

25.0 g C4H10 x 1 mol C4H10 x 8mol CO2 = 1.72 mol CO2

58 g C4H10 2 mol C4H10

25.0 g C4H10 x 1 mol C4H10 x 8 mol CO2 = 0.481 mol CO2

32 g O2 13 mol O2

0.481 mol < 1.72 mol C4H10 is the limiting reactant Calculate the theoretical yeild

Example 15 (Theoretical Yield)

25.0 g C4H10 x 1 mol C4H10 x 8 mol CO2 = 0.481 mol CO2

32 g O2 13 mol O2

0.481 mol CO2 X 44 g CO2 = 21.2 g CO2

1 mol CO2

If all of the limiting reactant (25.0 g C4H10) reacts than 21.2 g of CO2 will form.

Percent Yield

Percent Yield = Actual Yield X 100
