59. #4. The mass of 100 moles of (Ni) is _____ g. 28 Ni 58.69 5869.00

60. Molar Mass  Scientists also use the Periodic Table to determine the molar mass (formula weight) of compounds.  The molar mass of the compound is the sum of the molar masses of the elements that make up the compound.

61. Potassium Permanganate  The molar mass of KMnO 4 is the sum of all the molar masses times the number of atoms of each element for the molecule (subscript).

62. Potassium Permanganate KMnO 4  Potassium (K) 39.10 g/mole  Manganese (Mn) 54.94g/mole  Oxygen (O) 4[16.00 g/mole] 158.04 g/mole.

63. The molar mass of 1 mole of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) is____ g. 58.44

64. The molar mass of 1 mole of Lead Iodide (PbI 2 ) is _____ g. 461.0

65. The mass of 100 moles of Nickel Sulfide (NiS) is ________ g. 9076.00

66. The mass of 1 mole of Sucrose (C 12 H 24 O 12 ) _______ g. 306.31

67. Mole Conversions  In chemistry, the mole is the standard measurement of amount.  However, balances DO NOT give readings in moles. Balances give readings in grams.  So the problem is that, while we compare amounts of one substance to another using moles, we must also use grams, since this is the information we get from balances.

68. There are three steps to converting grams of a substance to moles. 1. Determine how many grams are given in the problem. 2. Calculate the molar mass of the substance. 3. Divide step one by step two.

69. The three steps above can be expressed in the following proportion: Grams Moles --------------- = -------------- Molar Mass 1 Mole

70. Example #1 - Convert 25.0 grams of KMnO 4 to moles. Step One: The problem will tell you how many grams are present. Look for the unit of grams. The problem gives us 25.0 grams. Step Two: You need to know the molar mass of the substance. The molar mass of KMnO4 is 158.034 grams/mole. Potassium (K) =39.10 x 1=39.10 g Manganese (Mn) =54.94 x 1=54.94 g Oxygen (O)=16.00 x 4=64.00 g --------------- 158.04 g Step Three: You divide the grams given by the substance's molar mass (25.0/158.04) The answer of 0.16 mole has been rounded off.

71. Example #2 - Calculate how many moles are in 57.0 grams of Mg(NO 3 ) 2 Step One: 57.0 grams are given in the text of the problem. Step Two: The molar mass is 148 grams/mole. Mg (Magnesium) =24 x 1=24 g N (Nitrogen) =14 x 2=28 g O (Oxygen) =16 x 6=96 g Step Three: Again you divide the grams by the substances molar mass (57.0 g/148 g). This answer has been rounded to 0.39 moles.
