THE MOLE
Chapter 10: Chemical Quantities

2. 10.1 Measuring Matter
What is a mole? It is the SI unit that measures the amount of substance.

3. Masss
Mole
Volume
Number of Particles

4. To Get from Moles to Number of Particles
Avogadro’s number
Simply multiply by 6.02 x 1023

5. Practice Problems
How many moles of magnesium is 1.25 x 1023 atoms of magnesium?
How many atoms are in 2.12 mol of propane? (C3H8)

6. Moles to Mass (grams)
Multiply by the molecular mass of the substance.
Molar mass: mass (in grams) of one mole
of the substance

7. Practice Problems
How many grams are in 9.45 mol of dinitrogen trioxide (N2O3)?
How many moles in 92.2 g of iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3)?

8. Moles to Volume (Liters)
The Special Number
22.4

9. Mole – Volume Problems
volume varies with changes in temperature and pressure
usually measured at STP (0oC; kPa)
at STP, one mole of any gas occupies a volume of 22.4 L

10. Practice Problems
Determine the volume, in liters, of 0.60 mol SO2 gas at STP.
The density of a gaseous compound containing carbon and oxygen is g/L at STP. Determine the molar mass of the compound.

11. Number of particles / Avogadro’s number
To go from mass, volume or particles to moles, you simply reverse the process.
Mass / molecular mass
Volume / 22.4
Number of particles / Avogadro’s number

12. 10.4 Percent Composition Percent by mass of each element in a compound
% mass of element =
Grams of element X
Grams of compound
X 100

13. Practice Problems
9.03 g Mg combine completely with 3.48 g N to form a compound. What is the % composition of this compound?
Calculate the % composition of ethane (C2H6).

14. Practice Problem
Calculate the mass of hydrogen in 350 g C3H8.

15. Empirical Formula
Lowest whole number ratio of atoms of an element in a compound.
May or may not be the same as the molecular formula!

16. Example
Give the empirical formula for a compound which is 25.9% Nitrogen and 74.1% Oxygen.
Assume it is a 100g sample, so 25.9g N and 74.1g of O
25.9/14 =1.85 moles of N
74.1/16 = 4.63 moles of O
1.85/1.85 = /1.85 = 2.5
Double both numbers to get a whole number ratio…
N2O5

17. Practice Problems
Calculate the empirical formula of a compound that is 79.8% C and 20.2% H.
Calculate the molecular formula of a compound whose molecular mass is 62 g/mol and empirical formula is CH3O.

18. 10.5 Naming Hydrates
Compounds with specific numbers of water molecules bound to their atoms are called hydrates.
In the formula, a dot is used to show that water is bonded. Use a prefix to name the hydrate.
Na2CO3 ∙ 10H2O
Sodium carbonate decahydrate

19. Hydrates
In order to analyze a hydrate, you must first find the number of moles of water associated with one mole of the hydrate.
Heat the sample to drive off the water, then you can mass the anhydrous compound and determine the moles of water.

20. Practice Problem
An 11.75g sample of a common hydrate of cobalt (II) chloride is heated. After heating, mol of anhydrous cobalt chloride remains. What is the formula and the name of this hydrate?
