2. What do these symbols and diagrams mean? Essential questions

3. Identify the number of moles of each constituent element from a chemical formula, molecular model, or structural diagram. Interpret a chemical formula and build a 3D model from it. Write a chemical formula given a structural diagram. Draw a structural diagram from a 3D model. Create possible structures from a given chemical formula. Objectives

4. 8 (A) define and use the concept of a mole; 8 (B) use the mole concept to calculate the number of atoms, ions, or molecules in a sample of material; 8 (C) calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. TEKS

5. How many moles of chlorine are there in one mole of CCl 4 ? If you have six moles of oxygen, how many moles of acetic acid (C 2 H 4 O 2 ) could you produce assuming you had an unlimited supply of carbon and hydrogen? What is the chemical formula for a compound containing 1 mole of magnesium, 2 moles of oxygen, and 2 moles of hydrogen? Build and draw three possible ways in which 3 moles of carbon, 8 moles of hydrogen, and 2 moles of oxygen could be divided into one or more compounds. Assessment

6. Molecular models Each ball represents both one atom and one mole of atoms Colors represent different kinds of atoms (elements) The grey “sticks” represent bonds between atoms Molecules

7. The CPK color code Use this code to assign the color of each element

8. The CPK color code All molecular modeling programs use some variation of this color code. Wikipedia

9. Complete the table Use a periodic table to write in the element symbols for each “atom” in the kit.

10. Making a molecule Choose 5 atoms and connect them with bonds. At least two should be the same color – therefore the same element.

11. Writing a chemical formula Use the boxes to describe the elements in your molecule. Write 1 where there is a single atom.

12. Writing a chemical formula Transfer the information to a chemical formula. Use element symbols and subscripts to specify the number of atoms of each element in the molecule

13. Writing a chemical formula Single atoms do not need a subscript. The 1 is inferred to mean a single atom.

14. The structural diagram The chemical formula does not specify the connections. The structural diagram uses element symbols connected by lines.

15. The structural diagram When possible, draw your structural diagrams with the lines at 90 degrees or 120 degrees.

16. Chemical formula rules Is this written H 4 C or CH 4 ?

17. Chemical formula rules Is this written H 4 C or CH 4 ? Carbon is often written first in a carbon-containing compound (organic)

18. Chemical formula rules Which is the preferred way to write the chemical formula for methanol?

19. Chemical formula rules Which is the preferred way to write the chemical formula for methanol? The second is better because the OH grouping makes this an alcohol and this spelling clearly identifies the OH.

20. What do the models mean? What does one of the colored balls represent?

21. What do the models mean? What does one of the colored balls represent? Is it one atom? Is it 1,000,000 atoms?

22. The mole Each ball represents two things: 1.How atoms of oxygen are connected to other atoms in a specific compound. 2.One mole of oxygen atoms.

23. The size of atoms Atoms are so small that they cannot be measured individually. There are more than 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms in a thimble of water. Atoms are so small that they cannot be measured individually. There are more than 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms in a thimble of water.

24. A mole 1.01 grams of hydrogen contain 6 x 10 23 atoms. This number is called a mole. Think of each plastic ball as representing one mole of that element. 1.01 grams of hydrogen contain 6 x 10 23 atoms. This number is called a mole. Think of each plastic ball as representing one mole of that element.

25. Atomic masses The periodic table lists the atomic mass, in grams, of one mole of each element. Mass of one mole

36. How many moles of carbon are in 1 mole of Pentadecylcatechol Main constituent of urushiol the irritant oil that is created by poison ivy. The subscript tells you the number of moles of each element in 1 mole of the compound.

37. Build a compound containing 2 moles of carbon, 2 moles of oxygen, and 4 moles of hydrogen.

38. This is one possible solution – acetic acid. Build a compound containing 2 moles of carbon, 2 moles of oxygen, and 4 moles of hydrogen.

41. This new compound is the preservative formaldehyde. Very different from acetic acid! Build TWO compounds that together contain 2 moles of carbon, 2 moles of oxygen, and 4 moles of hydrogen. This coefficient tells us there are two moles of this compound.

47. If you have six moles of oxygen, how many moles of acetic acid (C 2 H 4 O 2 ) could you produce assuming you had an unlimited supply of carbon and hydrogen? One mole of acetic acid uses two moles of oxygen. That means six moles of oxygen could produce three moles of acetic acid. Assessment
