MODULE 7 AND 8
LEARNING COMPETENCIES
• USE THE MOLE CONCEPT TO EXPRESS MASS OF THE
SUBSTANCES; AND
• DETERMINE THE PERCENTAGE COMPOSITION OF A
COMPOUND GIVEN ITS CHEMICAL FORMULA AND VICE
VERSA.
MOLE
Avogadro’s Number
Remember!
When to use atoms, ions or molecules?
Avogadro’s number as a
Conversion Factor
Sample Problem 1
How many molecules are there in 4.0 moles of CO2?
to answer this question you have to consider this:
1 mole = 6.02 x 1023 particles
thus, using dimensional analysis approach, you will be able to convert number
of moles to its equivalent amount in the number of particles.
Sample Problem 2
How many moles are there in 3.01 X 1023 atoms of
calcium?
MOLAR MASS
• The Mass of 1 mole (in a.m.u.)
• Equal to the numerical value of the average atomic mass
• 1 mole of C atoms = 12.0 a.m.u
• 1 mole of Mg atoms= 24.3 a.m.u
• 1 mole of Cu atoms = 63.5 a.m.u
Other Names Related to Molar Mass
How to Calculate for Molar Mass?
H– 2 X 1 g/mol = 2 g/mol
O- 1 X 16 g/mol = 16 g/mol
Molar mass = 18 g/mol
Calculate the Molar Mass
1.Sulfuric acid, H SO
2 4
2.Aluminum hydroxide, Al(OH) 3
The Molar Masses Of The Compounds Listed Below
Mass of 1 Mole of Different Substances
THE MASS-MOLE RELATIONSHIP
The Number Of Moles Is Computed By Dividing The Mass Of The Substance By Its Atomic Mass (If
Element) And Molar Mass (If A Compound. Mathematically, Written As:
• If Substance Is An Element
no. of moles = Mass of substance or by using symbols n = __Mass____
atomic mass at. mass
• If Substance Is A Compound
no. of moles = mass of substance or by using symbols n = __mass____
molar mass mol. mass
SAMPLE PROBLEM 1
How many moles are in a 48 gram Mg atom? Mg = 24 amu
Given : mass Mg = 48 g
atomic mass Mg = 24 g/mol or 24 amu
Required : no. of moles, n
Solution :
formula : n = mass
at. mass
n = ___48 g ___
24 g/mol or amu
n = 2 mol Mg
SAMPLE PROBLEM 2
How many moles are in 174g NaCl
Given : mass NaCl = 174 g
molar mass NaCl = 58 g/mol or amu (compute for molar mass)
Required : no. of moles, n
Solution :
Formula : n = __mass____
mol. mass
n = ___174 g ___
58 g/mol or amu
n = 3 mol NaCl
