10.1 The Mole: Measurement of Matter
Define the following terms:
- mole
- Avogadro’s number
- representative particle
- molar mass
1. What kind of representative particles can one calculate using Avogadro’s
number?
Converting Moles to # of Particles   Converting # of Particles to Moles
1 Mole = 6.02 x 1023 particles
therefore
1 mol
6.02 x 1023 particles
or
6.02 x 1023 particles
1 mol
(particles  moles)
(moles  particles)
If you are given
particles and want to
find the moles you
divide by 6.02 x 1023
particles.
If you are given
moles and you want
to find particles then
you multiply by 6.02
x 1023 particles.

If you want to find the # of atoms you first find the # of particles or molecules
and then multiply by the # of atoms per molecule. (mol  particles  atoms)
Example: How many oxygen atoms are there in 5 moles of NO3?
1) Because NO3 is a molecule, first find the number of particles of NO3 in 5
moles.
5 mol NO3 x 6.02 x 1023 molecules NO3 = 3.01 x 1024 molecules NO3
1 mol NO3
2) Next, figure out how many oxygen atoms there are in NO3. There are 3
oxygen atoms in every molecule of NO3
3) Now set up your equation:
3.01 x 1024 molecules NO3 x 3 oxygen atoms = 9.03 x 1024 oxygen atoms
1 molecule NO3
If you want, you can set it up as one big conversion rather than in 2 steps:
5 mol NO3 x 6.02 x 1023 molecules NO3 x 3 atoms O
= 9.03 x 1024 atoms O
1 mol NO3
1 molecule NO3

10.2 Mole-Mass and Mole-Volume Relationships
Define the following terms:
- STP
- molar volume
Converting Moles to Mass   Converting Mass to Moles
1 Mole = molar mass of element or compound (in grams)
therefore
1 mol
molar mass (g)
or
(mass  moles)
molar mass (g)
1 mol
(moles  mass)
If you are given
mass and want to
find the moles you
divide by the molar
mass of the element
or compound.
If you are given moles
and you want to find
mass then you
multiply by the molar
mass of the element or
compound.
Example 1: How many moles are in 53.2g of oxygen (O2)?
1) Find the molar mass of oxygen using the periodic table. Since there are 2 atoms
of oxygen in O2, you must multiply 16 g oxygen by 2: 1 mol = 32 g oxygen
2) Use the conversion factor to set up your problem.
State the given first and multiply by the conversion factor so that the units cancel
out on the bottom, and the unit you want it on top:
53.2g O x 1 mol O = 1.66 moles oxygen
32 g O

Example 2: What is the mass of 12.3 moles of Al2O3?
1) Find the molar mass of Al2O3 using the periodic table:
Al2 = 27g x 2 = 54g
O3 = 16g x 3 = 48g
Mass Al2O3 = 102g
so
1 mol = 102g Al2O3
2) Use the conversion factor to set up your problem.
12.3 mol Al2O3 x 102g Al2O3 = 1,254.6g Al2O3
1 mol Al2O3
PRACTICE:
1. How many moles are there in 25.0g of NaCl?
__________
2. How many moles are there in 100.0g of KMnO4?
3. How many grams are in 0.25 moles of KCl?

Converting Moles to Volume   Converting Volume to Moles
1 Mole = 22.4L of gas at STP
therefore
1 mol
22.4 L gas at STP
or
22.4 L gas at STP
1 mol
(volume  moles)
(moles  volume)
If you are given
volume and want to
find the moles you
divide by the 22.4 L.
If you are given moles
and you want to find
volume then you
multiply by 22.4 L.
PRACTICE:
5. What is the volume of 0.60 moles of SO2 gas at STP?
6. What is the volume of 3.20 x 103 mol CO2 at STP?
7. How many moles are in of 13.70 L of N2 at STP?
8. At STP, how many moles are in of 1.25 L of He?

Density = mass
volume
Chemistry Study Guide
therefore Density of gas at STP = molar mass (g)
22.4 L
Example: What is the mass of a compound found to be 1.964g/L at STP?
1) Plug in your given into the formula:
Density = molar mass (g)
22.4 L
1.964g/L = molar mass (g)
22.4 L
2) Solve for the mass by multiplying both sides by 22.4L
(1.964g/L) (22.4L) = 44.0g
PRACTICE:
9. What is the mass of a gas found to be 3.58g/L at STP?
10. What is the density of krypton gas at STP?

EMPIRICAL FORMULAS
To find an empirical formula given percentages:
1) Change each percentage into grams (notice all percentages add up to 100)
2) Convert grams to moles for each element
3) Divide each number of moles by the smaller number of moles to get the
smallest whole-number ratio
4) If the ratio is not in whole-number form, multiply by the smallest number
possible to get a whole-number ratio. These are the subscripts for the
formula
Ex: A compound has 25.9% nitrogen and 74.1% oxygen. What is the empirical
formula of the compound?
25.9% N  25.9g N x 1 mol N = 1.85 mol N
14 g N
Since 1:2.5 is not a whole-number ratio,
multiply by 2 to get whole numbers:
74.1% O  74.1g O x 1mol O = 4.63 mol O
16 g O
1 mol N x 2 = 2 mol N
2.5 mol O x 2 = 5 mol O
1.85 mol N = 1 mol N ;4.63 mol O = 2.5 mol O Empirical formula = N2O5
1.85
1.85
To find an empirical formula given mass:
1) Follow steps 2-4 in procedure to find the empirical formula given percentage

MOLECULAR FORMULAS
13. What is a molecular formula?
To find a molecular formula:
1) You will be given the molar mass of the compound
2) Find the empirical formula if it is not given
3) Find the empirical formula mass (efm) of the compound
4) Divide the given molar mass by the efm to get a whole number (n)
5) Multiply this whole number (n) by each formula subscript to get the
molecular formula.
Ex: What is the molecular formula for a compound whose molar mass is 34g and
whose empirical formula is HO?
Empirical formula mass = 17g (molar mass H = 1g + molar mass O = 16g)
molar mass
= 34g = 2 ( this is n, so multiply it by the subscripts)
empirical formula mass
