THE MOLE CONCEPT

Lets talk about it!

NOT THIS KIND OF MOLE!

The mole is used mostly in chemistry as a SI unit for amount of substance. In simplest terms a mole represents a number of objects.

Suppose you’re engaged in a building project: laying a floor. You’re going to put down 25 boards with 10 nails a piece: that’s at least 250 nails you’ll need. When you go to the hardware store and ask for 250 nails, the clerk doesn’t count out the nails for you. What do they do?

You weigh them!!

When we need a large number of a small item, it doesn’t make sense to count them out; weighing is more efficient. We probably won’t get exactly the number we want, but if we’re dealing in large numbers it won’t make much difference if there are a few more or less.

In chemistry, we’re stuck with using just this method to count atoms and molecules, because it’s the only way we can do it.

Q: Can we count out atoms one-by-one? A: No, they are too small, but we do need to

know how many we have in a bunch so we can study their behavior, which is what chemistry is all about.

Q: In chemistry labs or when cooking or baking at home, how do we measure out chemicals/reactants/ingredients?

A: We either measure it out per a certain volume amount, such as in a graduated cylinder or in a measuring cup, or we weigh it out, like on a balance.

Why is this important?

It is important to know how much of a particular substance we have in order to study its behaviour.

Weighing atoms in order to count atoms is not an exact science. If we were to weigh out 250 nails it would be less accurate than actually counting each nail. However, it is much more practical to weigh the nails.

Because atoms and molecules are so small, chemists created a quantity called a mole that represents a large number of atoms. The unit of a mole is like a dozen in that it represents a certain number of atoms or molecules.

What is a dozen?

What do we call 2 things?

When can we use the terms a dozen or a pair?

We use terms such as dozen or pair in order to represent a particular number of objects.

So what is a mole???

It is a very, very, very large number but the same idea as a pair, a dozen, a gross, and so on. A pair is 2 items, a dozen is 12 items, a gross is 144 items, and a mole is 6.02 × 1023 items. That is 602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 items in a mole. This number is usually expressed in scientific notation.

One mole of anything is equal to 6.02 x1023 of those things...1 mol of elephants = elephants1 mole of water molecules =

•A long while a go a man by the last name of Avogadro came up with an idea of how to group atoms! The mole is also referred to as Avogadro’s number!

•If two elements were at equal volume, temperatures and pressure, he figured there would be the same number of particles in each.

But how big is a mole?

How big is a mole of basketballs?

What is another name for the mole?

Why do we use the mole?

Q: can a dozen represent any number besides 12 or can a pair represent a number other than two?

A: No, these numbers are constants, which mean that they always represent the exact same number regardless of the item.

The mole is most specifically used to count atoms. Even though a mole is like a dozen, the actual number is much larger because atoms are much smaller than the eggs or oranges we usually measure by the dozen.

Converting Moles to Particles and

Particles to Moles

Recall Dimensional Analysis

Suppose you buy three and a half dozen roses and you want to know how many roses you have. You can multiply the known quantity (3.5 dozen) by a conversion factor to express the quantity in the units you want (number of roses).

Conversion factor: 12 roses 1 dozen

Now lets deal with particles:NOTE: 1 MOLE = 6.02 X 1023

PARTICLESPARTICLES (ATOMS OR MOLECULES)

How many particles of sucrose are in 3.50 moles of sucrose?

Calculate the number of moles that contain 4.50 x 1024 atoms of zinc.

Example 3: How many molecules are in 4.00 mols of NaCl?

 4.00 mols NaCl x 6.02 x 1023molecules 1 mol NaCl

= 2.41 x 1024 molecules NaCl 

Questions:1. How is a mole similar to a dozen?2. Why do chemists use the mole?3. Do the following conversions using dimensional

Mass of a MoleAvogadro’s number is also used to represent

how many atomic mass units can be found in a gram. This allows us to use the mass numbers on the periodic table for both the mass of an atom (atomic mass) and the mass of a mole of atoms (molar mass), we only need to change the units.

What is atomic mass?Atomic mass is the weighted average mass of

the isotopes of that element. Molar mass – the mass in grams of one mole of

any pure substance.

Calculating Molar Mass

Atomic mass = molar massamu = g/mol

What is the molar mass of copper?

What is the molar mass of carbon?

•How can the molar mass of copper and carbon be different if a mole is always 6.02x 102 3 atoms?

•This is the same as asking how the weight of a dozen elephants can be different than the weight of a dozen ants. It is the number of items that is always the same, not the mass of weight or size of those items.

What is the molar mass of H2O?

What is the molar mass of Ca(OH)2 ?

Calculate the molar mass of the following:

a) N2O5

b) H2CO3

c) NaC2H3O2

d) CuClO3

e) Ba(NO2)3

f) Pb(HSO4)2

Grams Moles, Moles GramsImagine that you are buying jellybeans.

Instead of counting out each jellybean they are measured by mass. You find that 1 dozen has a mass of 35 g. What mass of jellybeans should you measure if you want 5 dozen?

Just as we could not make a direct conversion from cm km we cannot make a direct conversion from mass to atoms. Instead we use two step dimensional analysis.

Volume of GasesDetermining the Number of particles in a GasAlthough the size can differ greatly between different gases Avogadro's principle states that all gases that have the same number of particles will have the same volume. 1000 atoms of Xenon will have the same volume as Helium. The molar volume for gases is the volume that 1 mole of gas will take up at 0 Celsius at 1.00 atm. Since all gases have the same volume at STP (standard temperature and pressure), this means that 1 mol of any gas will have a volume of 22.4L. ** Conversion Factor: 1 mole = 22.4L at STPSTP = Standard temperature and pressure (temp = 0oC, pressure = 1 atm)

Welcome to Stoichiometry

BackgroundComes from the Greek words stoicheion, meaning

element and metron, meaning measure.In the real world, chemists perform reactions to

make useful chemical compounds such as medicines, fibers, pigments, cosmetics and structural materials.

Because some reactants are expensive chemists don’t just mix huge quantities of chemicals together and hope for the best; rather they use stoichiometry to calculate the mass relationships between products and reactants.

Terminology:Stoichiometry: The Study of relationships

between the amounts of reactants used and products formed by a chemical reaction, based on the Law of Conservation of Mass.

mole ratio: The ratio of the product and reactant in a chemical reaction. The

numbers that fit into this ratio are pulled directly out of the balanced equation for the reaction.

Mole ratios are the key to stoichiometric calculations. They give us the ratios between the amounts of reactants and products in any given reaction.We get mole ratios from the coefficients.That’s why we need to start with a balanced equation.

Chemical Equation:2 Al(s) + 3Br2(l) 2AlBr3(s)

 For every 2 moles of aluminum, 3 moles of

bromine are used to produce the reaction. ** The Law of Conservation is important

when dealing with stoichiometry. If the equation isn’t properly balanced then you will use the incorrect mole ratios in your calculations.

Mole RatiosExample: Write all possible mole ratios 2 Al(s) + 3Br2(l) 2AlBr3(s)
