Figure 3.2 Mass-mole-number relationships for elements.
Sample Problem 3.1 Calculating the Mass of a Given Amount of
an Element
mass (g) of Ag
SOLUTION:
107.9 g Ag
0.0342 mol Ag x = 3.69 g Ag
1 mol Ag
Sample Problem 3.2 Calculating the Number of Entities in a
Given Amount of an Element
mol of Ga
multiply by 6.022x1023 atoms/mol
atoms of Ga
Sample Problem 3.2
SOLUTION:
PROBLEM: Iron (Fe) is the main component of steel and is therefore the
most important metal in society; it is also essential in the body.
How many Fe atoms are in 95.8 g of Fe?
mass (g) of Fe
divide by M of Fe (55.85 g/mol)
amount (mol) of Fe
multiply by 6.022x1023 atoms/mol
atoms of Fe
Sample Problem 3.3
SOLUTION:
95.8 g Fe x 1 mol Fe
= 1.72 mol Fe
55.85 g Fe
1 mol Fe
PLAN: Write the formula for the compound and calculate its molar mass.
Use the given mass to calculate first the number of moles and then
the number of molecules.
M = (1 x M of N) + (2 x M of O)
= 14.01 g/mol + 2(16.00 g/mol)
= 46.01 g/mol
1 mol NO2
number of O atoms
M = (2 x M of N) + (8 x M of H) + (1 x M of C) + (3 x M of O)
= (2 x 14.01 g/mol) + (8 x 1.008 g/mol)
+ (12.01 g/mol) + (3 x 16.00 g/mol)
= 96.09 g/mol
