1. Moles of Compounds

2. A properly written compound shows the ratio of atoms in the compound. For example, sodium carbonate (Na 2 CO 3 ) shows that for every 1 compound there are 2 atoms of Na, 1 atom of C, and 3 atoms of O.

3. This also works with the mole. For 1 mole of the compound, there are 2 moles of Na, 1 mole of C, and 3 moles of O. This information allows us to calculate the molar mass of the entire compound, often called the formula mass.

4. 2 mols Na22.9897 g = 45.9794 g Na 1 mol 1 mol C12.0107 g = 12.0107 g C 1 mol 3 mols O15.9994 g = 47.9982 g O 1 mol The total molar mass of Na 2 CO 3 is 105.9883 g.

5. Once it is known that 1 mol of Na 2 CO 3 = 105.9883 g, conversion factors can be made of this information: These conversion factors can then be used in other calculations. 105.9883 g Na 2 CO 3 or 1 mol 105.9883 g Na 2 CO 3
