2
Atomic Mass & Formula Mass Atomic Mass Formula mass – just what it says it is! Example: –Atomic mass of carbon: 12.01amu –Formula mass of carbon dioxide 1 carbon atom = 12.01amu x 1 atom = 12.01 2 oxygen atoms = 16.00amu x 2 atoms = 32.00 Total = 44.01 amu for 1 molecule of CO 2
3
The Mole An experimentally-defined number that is equal to 6.022 x 10 23 particles Called Avogadro’s number, after physicist Amedeo Avogadro –600 million trillion particles –Can be atoms, molecules, anything in a distinct unit
4
The Mole
5
Molar Mass Quantity in grams that equals the atomic mass of the element or compound For example: What is the molar mass of carbon dioxide? Formula mass = 44.01amu / molecule Molar mass = 44.01g / mole
6
Chemical Equations Textual representation of a reaction Definitions: Reactant, Product, Coefficient, State of Matter To balance: –1. Write down reactants and products with correct subscripts –2. Add coefficients so that there are the same number of each atom on both sides of the equation –“Least Common Multiples”
7
Try This! Iron ores such as Fe 2 O 3 are smelted, by reaction with carbon, to form metallic iron and carbon dioxide. Can you write and balance the equation? Can you name the iron ore?
8
Try This! When propane gas, C 3 H 8, burns in oxygen, it produces water and carbon dioxide. Write and balance the equation.
9
What Does This Mean? 2Fe 2 O 3 + 3C 3CO 2 + 4Fe 2H 2 (g) + O 2 (g) 2H 2 O(g) Coefficients are proportions of moles –2 moles of iron (III) oxide react with 3 moles of carbon to yield 3 moles of carbon dioxide and 4 moles of iron 2 moles iron (III) oxide 4 moles iron 2 moles iron (III) oxide 3 moles carbon dioxide 3 moles carbon
10
Try This! Butane, a common fuel in lighters, burns according to the following equation. C 4 H 10 + O 2 CO 2 + H 2 O Balance the equation How many moles of carbon dioxide can I produce if I burn 4 moles of butane?
11
Mass Calculations
12
Try This! Write a balanced equation for the following reaction: Aluminum sulfate and sodium hydroxide react to form sodium sulfate and aluminum hydroxide. How many grams of sodium hydroxide are needed to form 18.7 grams of sodium sulfate? If I begin with 25.9g of aluminum sulfate, how many grams of aluminum hydroxide will form?
