Unit 4 Counting Particles

We can weigh a large number of the objects and find the average mass. Counting By Weighing We can weigh a large number of the objects and find the average mass. Once we know the average mass we can equate that to any number of the objects. EXAMPLE: The average mass of a book is 40.0 grams. How many books are present in a sample with a mass of 2000.0 grams? 2000.0g/40.0g = 50.0 books

Counting By Weighing When we know the average mass of the atoms of an element, as that element occurs in nature, we can calculate the number of atoms in any given sample of that element by weighing the sample. The atomic mass of an element, as found on the periodic table, allows us to count by weighing.

Avogadro’s Number Avogadro’s Number is the number of atoms in 12.01 grams of carbon. Its numerical value is 6.022 × 1023. Therefore, a 12.01 g sample of carbon contains 6.022 × 1023 carbon atoms.

1 mol = Avogadro’s Number = 6.022 × 1023 units The Mole The mole (mol) is a unit of measure for an amount of a chemical substance. A mole is Avogadro’s number of particles, that is 6.022 × 1023 particles. 1 mol = Avogadro’s Number = 6.022 × 1023 units We can use the mole relationship to convert between the number of particles and the mass of a substance.

Section 6.3: The Mole The mole (mol) is known as the “chemists dozen” and represents 6.022 x 1023 things (atoms, particles, molecules, etc). A mole (from the Latin - “lump of stuff”), was originally defined as 1.0g of the lightest element known – hydrogen. Not this type of mole!

How Big Is a Mole? The volume occupied by one mole of softballs would be about the size of the Earth. One mole of Olympic shot put balls has about the same mass as the Earth.

Molar Mass The atomic mass of any substance expressed in grams is the molar mass of that substance. The atomic mass of iron is 55.85 amu. Therefore, the molar mass of iron is 55.85 g/mol (grams in a mole) Since oxygen occurs naturally as a diatomic, O2, the molar mass of oxygen gas is 2 times 16.00 g or 32.00 g/mol.

Calculating Molar Mass The molar mass of a substance is the sum of the molar masses of each element. What is the molar mass of magnesium nitrate, Mg(NO3)2? The sum of the atomic masses is: 24.31 + 2(14.01 + 16.00 + 16.00 + 16.00) = 24.31 + 2(62.01) = 148.33 amu The molar mass for Mg(NO3)2 is 148.33 g/mol.

Molar Mass (g/mol) The molar mass of any substance is the mass (in grams) of one mole of the substance. The molar mass of a compound is obtained by summing the masses of ALL component atoms.

Molar Mass: Practice Calculate the following molar masses: Water – H2O Ammonia – NH3 Propane – C3H8 Glucose – C6H12O6

Mole Calculations We will be using Dimensional analysis again. Recall: First we write down the unit asked for Second we write down the given value Third we apply unit factor(s) to convert the given units to the desired units

Mass-Mole Calculations What is the mass of 1.33 moles of titanium, Ti? We want grams, we have 1.33 moles of titanium. Use the molar mass of Ti: 1 mol Ti = 47.88 g Ti = 63.7 g Ti 1.33 mole Ti × 47.88 g Ti 1 mole Ti

6.02 × 1023 particles = 1 mol = molar mass Mole Calculations Now we will use the molar mass of a compound to convert between grams of a substance and moles or particles of a substance. 6.02 × 1023 particles = 1 mol = molar mass If we want to convert particles to mass, we must first convert particles to moles and than we can convert moles to mass.

The Mole It is VERY important to understand that the value listed as the mass number on the periodic table really tells us TWO things: The mass of one atom in units of amu’s. The mass of one mole of atoms in grams. One mol of Al = 26.98 g & one atom = 26.98 amu One mol of Au = 196.97 g & one atom = 196.97 amu One mol of B = 10.81 g & one atom = 10.81 amu Remember one mol = 6.022 X 1023 atoms (or particles or molecules or donuts)

Molar Mass Remember: we can talk about one mole of atoms or one mole of molecules. One mole of oxygen atoms (O) weighs 16.00 g. One mole of oxygen molecules (O2) weighs 32.00 g. Two moles of O atoms weigh 32.00 g. Two moles of O2 molecules weigh 64.00 g. And so on . . .

The Mole To summarize: a sample of any element that weighs a number of grams equal to the molar mass (from the periodic table) contains 6.022 x 1023 atoms (1 mol) of that element. Therefore, atomic weight of an element = #g in one mol of that element We write that as g/mol.

Percent Composition of Compounds Sometimes it is not enough to know a compound’s composition in terms of numbers of atoms; it may also be useful to know its composition in terms of the masses of its elements. We can calculate the mass fraction by dividing the mass of a given element in one mole of a compound by the mass of one mole of the compound.

Percent Composition of Compounds Once we know the mass fraction we can multiply by 100 to get the percent. Remember: percent = part/whole X 100.

In one mole of methane (CH4), there is one mole of C and four moles of H: 1 mol C = 12.01 g 4 mol H = 4(1.01) = 4.04 g 1 mol CH4 = 12.01 g + 4.04 g = 16.05 g %C= mass of 1mol C x 100 mass of 1 mol CH4 %C = 12.01 X 100 = 74.83 %C 16.05 %H= mass of 4 mol H x 100 %H = 4.04 X 100 = 25.17 %H

Percent Composition Practice Determine the mass percent of each element in the following: H2SO4 (sulfuric acid) C3H7OH (isopropyl alcohol) C6H12O6 (glucose)

Formulas of Compounds The object of this section is to do the opposite of the previous section. Instead of getting the mass from the formula, we will determine the formula from the mass. To do this, the mass must be converted to moles using each element’s mass number. How can we convert mass to moles?

Formulas of Compounds ex) An unknown compound with a mass of 0.2015 g is is found to contain: 0.0806 g C 0.01353 g H 0.1074 g O It must contain: 0.0806g (1 mol C/12.01 g C) = 0.00671 mol C 0.01353g(1 mol H/1.008 g H) = 0.01342 mol H 0.1074g(1 mol/16.00 g O) = 0.00671 mol O

The numbers from the previous slide allow us to determine the C:H:O ratio. If we divide each number by the smallest number we get 1:2:1 for the C:H:O ratio. This leads us to a formula of C1H2O1 or CH2O. This is not necessarily the TRUE formula of the compound, but represents the RELATIVE numbers of atoms.

The multiples represent possible MOLECULAR FORMULAS. This represents the lowest whole number ratio of the compound. The actual formula could be CH2O, C2H4O2, C3H6O3, C4H8O4, C5H10O5, C6H12O6, . . . Any formula with a C:H:O ratio of 1:2:1 is possible (in theory, an infinite number). C1H2O1 represents the simplest possible formula or the EMPIRICAL FORMULA. The multiples represent possible MOLECULAR FORMULAS.

Formulas of Compounds: Practice Determine the empirical formula from each of the following molecular formulas: H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) C4H10 (butane) CCl4 (name?) HC2H3O2 (acetic acid) C6H12O6 (glucose)

Calculation of Empirical Formulas There are four steps to determine the empirical formula of a compound: Obtain the mass of each element present (in grams). Determine the number of moles of each type of atom present (use atomic mass). Divide each number by the smallest number. Multiply all numbers by the smallest integer that will make them all integers

Empirical Formulas: Practice A 1.500 g sample of a compound containing only carbon and hydrogen is found to contain 1.198 g of carbon. Determine the empirical formula for this compound. A 3.450 g sample of nitrogen reacts with 1.970 g of oxygen. Determine the empirical formula for this compound. When a 2.000 g sample of iron metal is heated in air, it reacts with oxygen to achieve a final mass of 2.573g. Determine the empirical formula for this compound.

If the relative amounts of elements are presented as percentages, assume we are starting with a 100 g sample (100%). Then each percentage simply becomes a mass (in grams). For example if 15% of a compound is carbon, we just assume it is 15 g of a 100 g sample; from there we convert to moles.

Empirical Formulas: More Practice The simplest amino acid, glycine, has the following mass percents: 32.00% carbon, 6.714% hydrogen, 42.63% oxygen, and 18.66% nitrogen. Determine the empirical formula for glycine. A compound has been analyzed and found to have the following mass percent composition: 66.75% copper, 10.84% phosphorous, and 22.41% oxygen. Determine the empirical formula for this compound.

Calculation of Molecular Formulas If we know the empirical formula AND the molar mass, we can calculate a compound’s molecular formula. Note: without the molar mass, the best you can find is the empirical formula. Once the molar mass is known, one must ALWAYS find the empirical formula before one can calculate the molecular formula. It is impossible to do the reverse.

Calculation of Molecular Formulas It is also important to note that the molecular formula is ALWAYS an integer multiple of the empirical formula. We can represent the molecular formula in terms of the empirical formula: (Empirical Formula)n = molecular formula It should also be noted when n = 1, the empirical and molecular formulas are identical to each other.

Molecular Formulas: Practice A compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen is found to be 40.00% carbon and 6.700% hydrogen by mass. The molar mass of this compound is between 115 and 125 g/mol. Determine the molecular formula for this compound. Caffeine is composed of 49.47% C, 5.191% H, 28.86% N, and 16.48% O. The molar mass is about 194 g/mol. Determine the molecular formula for caffeine.
