Chapter Three / Mass relationships in Chemical Reactions

Atomic mass

• Atomic mass = protons + neutrons


• The atom is too small to be weighted.
• However, we can determine the mass of one atom relative to another.
• Atomic mass = the mass of atom in amu
• amu is the mass that exactly equal to one-twelfth the mass of one carbon-
12 (12C) atom.
• By definition: 1 atom 12C weight 12 amu.
• Setting the atomic mass of carbon-12 at 12 amu provied the standard for
measuring the atomic mass for the other elements.
Chapter Three / Mass relationships in Chemical Reactions

Average 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

• 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
100
1.10 % = 1.10 = 0.011
100

Average atomic mass = (natural abundance x atomic mass )C-12+ (natural


abundance x atomic mass )C-13
Chapter Three / Mass relationships in Chemical Reactions

Average atomic mass

Average atomic mass for C = (0.989 x 12) + (0.011 x 13)


= 12.011 amu
Chapter Three / Mass relationships in Chemical Reactions

Average atomic mass

• 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.
100

92.58 % = 92.58 = 0.9258.


100

Average atomic mass = (natural abundance x atomic mass )Li-6+ (natural


abundance x atomic mass )Li-7
Average atomic mass for Li = ( 0.0742 x 6) + ( 0.9258 x 7)
= 6.93 amu.
Chapter Three / Mass relationships in Chemical Reactions

Avogadro’s number

• The mole (mol) is the amount of a substance that contains as many


elementary entities as there are atoms in exactly 12.00 grams of C-12.
• They calculate this number and it was found to be 6.022 x 10+23.
• This number was called Avogadro's number (NA) ( after Italian scientist
Amedeo Avogadro).
• 1 dozen of H2O = 12 H2O
• 1 mole of H2O = 6.022 x 10+23 H2O atom
• 1 mole of CO2 = 6.022 X 10+23 CO2 atom
• 1 mole of cars = 6.022 X 10+23 of cars
• 1 mole of shoes = 6.022 X 10+23 of shoes
Chapter Three / Mass relationships in Chemical Reactions

Molar Mass

• Molar mass (M)= the mass (in gram) of 1 mole of a substance.

For any element


atomic mass (amu) = molar mass (grams/mole)

• 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
Chapter Three / Mass relationships in Chemical Reactions

Molar Mass

• To calculate number of particle (atoms or molecules) :


Number of particle = Avogadro's number x number of moles.

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.
Chapter Three / Mass relationships in Chemical Reactions

Molar Mass

• Relationships between mole and molar mass:


• n ( number of moles)= mass (g) / molar mass (g/mole)

Mass (g)

Mole Molar mass


• Example 1: (mol)

How may grams of Zn in 0.356 mole of Zn?


First find the molar mass of Zn from periodic table
65.39 g/mole
Number of mole = mass / molar mass
Mass = number of mole x molar mass
= 0.356 (mole) x 65.39 (g/mole)
= 23.3 g.
Chapter Three / Mass relationships in Chemical Reactions

Molar Mass

• Example 2 :
Calculate the number of atoms in 6.46 grams of helium (He)?
The molar mass of He is 4 g/mole
Mass (g)
First calculate number of moles of He:
n = 6.46 (g) / 4 (g/mole) Mole
(mol)
Molar mass

= 1.62 mole
Number of atom = avogadro’s number x number of mole
= 6.022 x 10+23 x 1.62
= 9.73 x 1023 atoms
Chapter Three / Mass relationships in Chemical Reactions

Molecular Mass

• The molecular mass (also called molecular weight) of compound is the


sum of all molar mass of each of it elements.
Example1:
what is the Molecular mass for NaOH?
NaOH consist of Na , O, H
Then molecular mass (NaOH)= molar mass of Na + molar mass of O + molar
mass of H
= 23 + 16.00 + 1 = 40 amu
Example 2:
What is the Molecular mass of SO2
Then molecular mass (SO2)= molar mass of S + (molar mass of O)
Chapter Three / Mass relationships in Chemical Reactions

Molecular Mass

• The molecular mass (also called molecular weight) of compound is the


sum of all molar mass of each of it elements.
Example1:
what is the Molecular mass for NaOH?
NaOH consist of Na , O, H
Then molecular mass (NaOH)= molar mass of Na + molar mass of O + molar
mass of H
= 23 + 16.00 + 1 = 40 amu
Example 2:
What is the Molecular mass of SO2
Then molecular mass (SO2)= molar mass of S + 2X(molar mass of O)
= 32 + 2(16)
= 64 amu
Chapter Three / Mass relationships in Chemical Reactions

Molecular Mass

Example 3:
What is the molecular mass of C3H4O2?
Then molecular mass (C3H4O2)= 3X(molar mass of C) + 4X(molar mass of H) +
2X(molar mass of O)
= 3 X12 + 4X 1 + 2X 16
= 72 amu
• Molecular mass (amu ) = molar mass (g/mole) .
Chapter Three / Mass relationships in Chemical Reactions

Molecular Mass

Example 4:
How many molecules of ethane (C2H6) are present in 0.334 g of C2H6?

Molar mass = (2 x 12 )+ (6 x 1) = 30 g/mole

First we should calculate the number of mole

Number of mole = mass / molar mass

Number of mole = 0.334 / 30 = 0.011 mole

We know that
Number of molecules = Avogadro’s number x number of mole
= 6.022 x 1023 x 0.011
= 6.624 x 1021 molecules.
Chapter Three / Mass relationships in Chemical Reactions

Molecular Mass
• 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

1 molecules of urea = 4 atom of H


2.567 x 1023 molecules = ? Atom oh H

4 x 2.567 x 1023 = 1.03 x1024 atoms


Chapter Three / Mass relationships in Chemical Reactions

Molecular Mass

• 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

Percent Composition of a Compounds

• Percent composition by mass is the percent by mass of each element in a


compound.
• This can be obtained from this formula:
n x molar mass of element
molar mass of compound x 100%

• Where n is the number of moles of the element in 1 mole of compound


Chapter Three / Mass relationships in Chemical Reactions

Percent Composition of a Compounds

Example 1:
Calculate the percentage of each element in H2O2?
First we calculate the molar mass of the compound
(2 x 1) + (2 x 16) = 34 g/mol

2x1
% of H = x 100% = 5.88 %
34
2 x 16
% of O= 34 x 100% = 94.12 %

THE SUM SHOULD BE 100


5.88 + 94.12 = 100%
Chapter Three / Mass relationships in Chemical Reactions

Percent Composition of a Compounds

Example 2:
Phosphoric acid (H3PO4) is a colorless , syrupy liquid used in detergents,
fertilizers, toothpastes, and in carbonates beverages for a “tangy” flavor.
Calculate the percent composition by mass of H, P, and O in this
compound?
First we calculate the molar mass of the compound
(3 x 1) + 31 +(4 x 16) =98 g/mol
3x 1 1x31
% of H = 98 x 100% = 3.06 % % of P= 98 x 100% = 31.63 %
4 x 16
% of O= x 100% = 65.31 %
98

THE SUM SHOULD BE 100


3.06 + 65.31 + 31.63 = 100%

C: ≈1 H: = 1.34 O: =1
3.406 3.406 3.406

4- Because number of hydrogen is 1.33 then we start to multiply until we


reach integer, this is trail and error procedure:
1 x 1.34 = 1.34
2 x 1.34 =2.68
3 x 1.34 = 4.02 ≈ 4
Then we multiply all element with the same number we stopped at (which is
3 in this example).
C : 1x3 =3 , O: 1 x 3 = 3 , H =4
Thus the empirical formula is C3H4O3

Chemical Reactions and Chemical Equations

• Chemical reaction is a process in which a substance (or substances) is


changed into one or more new substances.
• Chemical equation uses chemical symbols to show what happens during a
chemical reaction.
• Remember in chemical reaction we don’t create new elements.
• The chemicals that react with each other called reactant, and the
chemicals produced from the reaction is called product.
• To write a chemical equation we always put the reactants on left side and
the products on the wright side

Amount of Reactants and Products

• A basic question in chemical laboratory is How much product will be


formed from specific amounts of starting materials (reactant)? Or how
much starting materials must be used to obtain a specific amount of
product?
• To do that you have to follow the following rules.
1- write the balanced equation for the reaction
2- convert the given amount of reactant to moles
3- use the mole ratio from the balanced equation to calculate the number of
moles of product.
4- convert the number of moles of product to grams.

• 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.

Always take the smallest number


Chapter Three / Mass relationships in Chemical Reactions

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.

2NH3 + CO2 (NH2)2CO + H2O

• First start with NH3 • second start with CO2


1-Convert g to mole : 1-Convert g to mole :
n = 637.2 / 17 = 37.48 mol n = 1142 / 44 = 25.95 mol
2- from equation 2- from equation
2 mole NH3 ========= 1 mole (NH2)2CO 1 mole CO2 ========= 1 mole (NH2)2CO
37.48 mole NH3 =====? Mole (NH2)2CO 25.95 mole CO2 =====? Mole (NH2)2CO
1 x 37.48 = 2 x ? 1 x 25.95 = 1 x ?
Mole of (NH2)2CO = 37.48 / 2 Mole of (NH2)2CO = 25.95 / 1
=18.74 mole of (NH2)2CO = 25.95 mole of (NH2)2CO

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.
Actual yield
% Yield  X 100
