Module 2.2A: Moles, Molar Mass and Avogadro's Number Alexandra Melise D. Hulog

1. The document discusses moles, molar mass, and Avogadro's number. It explains that a mole is a unit that relates the microscopic scale of atoms and molecules to the macroscopic scale of substances. 2. It then defines Avogadro's number as 6.022×1023, which is the number of molecules or atoms in 1 mole of a substance. 3. The document provides examples of using moles and molar mass to calculate the number of molecules or atoms in a sample and the mass of a sample given a certain number of moles.

MODULE 2.

2A
Moles, Molar Mass and Avogadro's Number
Alexandra Melise D. Hulog
Atoms are very, very, very...
small.

6.5 octillion atoms 1 sextillion atoms


How do we relate the microscopic
scale to the macroscopic scale?

We use the mole!

Mole: unit that measures the number of


molecules in a given amount of substance.
12 g carbon = 1 mol carbon
= 6.022 × 10^23 molecules

Based on the calculation for carbon, we say that each mole of


a sample has 6.022 × 10^23 molecules. We call this...

Avogadro's number.
Let's try some calculations:

You know that there are 3 moles


of water inside a tank. How
many molecules of water does
the tank contain?
Let's try some calculations:

A jar has 3 moles of table salt


(NaCl). How many molecules is
this? How many atoms does this
have?
Mole is a difficult concept to grasp.

We know how many molecules and atoms there


are, but how do we connect it to something that
we can easily relate to?
MOLAR MASS

Mass of a substance in relation to mole.


So, the mass of 6.022 × 1023 molecules of a substance.

Unit: g/mol
HOW TO CALCULATE FOR
MOLAR MASS
1. Determine the atoms that compose the
molecule.
2. Find the mass of each atom using the
periodic table.
3. Multiply the mass of each atom by how
many there are in the substance.
4. Find the sum of all the masses.
WHAT IS THE MOLAR MASS OF WATER?
Step 1: Determine the atoms in the molecule.

H2O
WHAT IS THE MOLAR MASS OF WATER?
Step 2: Find the mass of each atom.

H: 1.01
O: 16.00
WHAT IS THE MOLAR MASS OF WATER?
Step 3: Multiply each atom's mass by their subscript.

H: (2)1.01 g = 2.02 g
O: (1)16.0 g = 16.00 g
WHAT IS THE MOLAR MASS OF WATER?
Step 4: Add all of the calculated masses together.

H: (2)1.01 g = 2.02 g
O: (1)16.0 g = 16.00 g
Molar mass of H2O = 18.02 g/mol
Let's try some calculations:

What is the molar mass of CO2?


NOW, HOW DO WE GET THE NUMBER OF
MOLES IN A SAMPLE WITH A GIVEN MASS?
1. Find the molar mass of the sample.
2. Perform dimensional analysis using the
molar mass as your conversion factor.
Let's try some calculations:

You have 20 g of FeO2. How


many moles do you have?
Let's try some calculations:

You have 3 moles of HNO3. What


is the mass of your sample?
