Atomic mass
• Most element in nature have more than one isotopes. This mean when
calculating the atomic mass we should calculated for all isotopes then take
the average this called Average atomic mass.
• Natural abundance is the abundance of isotopes in nature.
Chapter Three / Mass relationships in Chemical Reactions
• Average atomic mass= sum of (natural abundance x atomic mass) for each
isotope
Example: calculate the average atomic mass of carbon?
C-12 natural abundance = 98.90% , atomic mass = 12 amu
C-13 natural abundance = 1.10% , atomic mass = 13 amu
Note that 98.9 % = 98.9 = 0.989

1.10 % = 1.10 = 0.011

• Example 2:
Calculate the average atomic mass for Li ( 6Li (7.42%), 7Li (92.58%))?
Li-6 natural abundance = 7.42% , atomic mass = 6 amu
Li-7 natural abundance = 92.58% , atomic mass = 7 amu
Note that 7.42 % = 7.42 = 0.0742.

Molar Mass
• Example:
Atomic mass of Na is 22.99 amu then Molar mass is 22.99 g/mol
Atomic mass of P is 30.97 amu then Molar mass is 30.97 g/mol

Molar Mass
Example1:
Calculate the number of atoms in 2 mole of hydrogen?
Number of atoms = 6.022 x 10+23 x 2 = 12.044 x 10+23.
Example 2 :
Calculate the number of moles in 6 x 10+20 atom of helium (He)?
Number of mole = number of atom / avogadro’s number
= 6 x 10+20 / 6.022 x 10+23
= 0.99 x 10-3 mole.

Example 4:
How many molecules of ethane (C2H6) are present in 0.334 g of C2H6?
We know that
Number of molecules = Avogadro’s number x number of mole

• Example 5:
How many hydrogen atoms are present in 25.6 g of urea [(NH2)2CO]. The
molar mass of urea is 60.06 g/mol?
First we calculate the number of mole
Number of mole = mass / molar mass
= 25.6 / 60.06 = 0.426 mole
Number of molecules = avogadro’s number x number of mole
= 6.022 x 1023 x 0.426
= 2.57 x1023 molecules
From the chemical formula of urea (NH2)2CO

• Example 6:
What is the mass, in grams, of one copper atom?
I know that
1 mole of Cu ====== 6.022 x 1023 atom of Cu
Molar mass of Cu= 63.55 g/mol
That mean 63.55 g of Cu ======= 1mole of Cu
Thus
1 mole of Cu ====== 6.022 x 1023 atom of Cu
1 mole of Cu ====== 63.55 g of Cu
Then
6.022 x 10 23 atom of Cu ====== 63.55 g of Cu
1 atom of Cu =======? g of Cu او س
6.22 X1023 x ?g= 63.55 x 1
grams of Cu = 1 x 63.55 = 10.55 = 10.55 x 10-23 g
6.022 x 1023 1023
Mass of one atom = molar mass / Avogadro number

Limiting Reagents
A+B C +D
• What is limiting reagents
Limiting reagents is the reactant used up first in a reaction.
Excess reagents is the reactant present in quantities grater than necessary to
react with the quantity of the limiting reagent (the one that is left at the
end of the reaction).
By knowing the limiting reagent we can determine the amount of product.
Limiting Reagents
Example :
Urea is [(NH2)2CO] is prepared by reacting ammonia with carbon dioxide:
2NH3 + CO2 (NH2)2CO + H2O
In one process, 637.2g of NH3 are treated with 1142g of CO2.
a) Which of the two reactants is the limiting reagent ?
b) Calculate the mass of (NH2)2CO formed?
c) How much excess reagent (in grams) is left at the end of the reaction?
a) We should calculate how much product each reactant produced and the
one with the smallest number is the limiting reagents.
to do so, we have to use the previous method of calculation.
Chapter Three / Mass relationships in Chemical Reactions
Limiting Reagents
Thus the limiting reagent is NH3 because it produced the least amount of product
Always take the smallest number
Chapter Three / Mass relationships in Chemical Reactions
Limiting Reagents
b) Calculate the mass of (NH2)2CO formed? Always take the smallest number
We take the number of mole of product formed from the limiting reagent and
then converted to grams
The limiting reagent here is NH3 and it produce 18.74 mole of (NH2)2CO
Molar mass of (NH2)2CO = 2 x 14 + 4x 1 + 12 + 16 = 60 g/mol
Mass = mole x molar mass
= 18.74 x 60 = 1124.4 g of (NH2)2CO .
Chapter Three / Mass relationships in Chemical Reactions
Limiting Reagents
c) How much excess reagent (in grams) is left at the end of the reaction?
We need to know how much excess reagent (in this case CO2) remain after
the reaction.
Excess reagent = initial amount of CO2 - Reacted amount of CO2
The initial amount of CO2 we know it from the question (1142g = 25.95 mole)
We need to know how much reacted and we can do this by comparing CO2
with product (NH2)2CO Always take the smallest number
We know that there are 18.74 mole of (NH2)2CO
From equation
1 mole CO2 ======== 1 mole (NH2)2CO .
? Mole of CO2 ========== 18.74 mole of (NH2)2CO .
Then the number of mole of reacted CO2 is 18.74 mole
Then excess reagents = 25.95 – 18.74 = 7.21 mole
= 7.21 X 44 = 317.24 g of CO2

Yield
• For any reaction there are theoretical yield and actual (practical) yield.
• Theoretical yield : the amount of product that would result if all the
limiting reagent reacted.
• Actual yield : the amount of product actually obtained from a reaction.
• Normally the actual yield is less than theoretical yield.
• To determine how efficient a given reaction is, we calculate the percent
yield.
