The Mole

The mole (mol) is the amount of a substance that


contains the same number of entities as there are
atoms in exactly 12 g of carbon-12.

The term “entities” refers to atoms, ions, molecules,


formula units, or electrons – in fact, any type of particle.

One mole (1 mol) contains 6.022x1023 entities (to


four significant figures).
This number is called Avogadro’s number and is
abbreviated as N.
Figure 3.1 One mole (6.022x1023 entities) of some familiar
substances.
Molar Mass

The molar mass (M) of a substance is the mass per


mole of its entites (atoms, molecules or formula units).

For monatomic elements, the molar mass is the


same as the atomic mass in grams per mole. The
atomic mass is simply read from the Periodic Table.
The molar mass of Ne = 20.18 g/mol.
For molecular elements and for compounds, the
formula is needed to determine the molar mass.

The molar mass of O2 = 2 x M of O


= 2 x 16.00
= 32.00 g/mol

The molar mass of SO2 = 1 x M of S + 2 x M of O


= 32.00 + 2(16.00)
= 64.00 g/mol

Sample Problem 3.1 Calculating the Mass of a Given Amount of
an Element

PROBLEM: Silver (Ag) is used in jewelry and tableware but no


longer in U.S. coins. How many grams of Ag are in
0.0342 mol of Ag?

PLAN: To convert mol of Ag to mass of Ag in g we need the molar


mass of Ag.
amount (mol) of Ag

multiply by M of Ag (107.9 g/mol)

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

PROBLEM: Gallium (Ga) is a key element in solar panels, calculators and


other light-sensitive electronic devices. How many Ga atoms
are in 2.85 x 10-3 mol of gallium?

PLAN: To convert mol of Ga to number of Ga atoms we need to use


Avogadro’s number.

mol of Ga
multiply by 6.022x1023 atoms/mol

atoms of Ga
Sample Problem 3.2

SOLUTION:

2.85 x 10-3 mol Ga atoms x 6.022x1023 Ga atoms


1 mol Ga atoms

= 1.72 x 1021 Ga atoms


Sample Problem 3.3 Calculating the Number of Entities in a
Given Mass of an Element

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?

PLAN: The number of atoms cannot be calculated directly from the


mass. We must first determine the number of moles of Fe atoms
in the sample and then use Avogadro’s number.

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

1.72 mol Fe x 6.022x10 atoms Fe


23

1 mol Fe

= 1.04 x 1024 atoms Fe

Sample Problem 3.4 Calculating the Number of Chemical Entities
in a Given Mass of a Compound I
PROBLEM: Nitrogen dioxide is a component of urban smog that
forms from the gases in car exhausts. How many
molecules are in 8.92 g of nitrogen dioxide?

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.

mass (g) of NO2


divide by M
amount (mol) of NO2

multiply by 6.022 x 1023 formula units/mol

number of NO2 molecules


Sample Problem 3.4

SOLUTION: NO2 is the formula for nitrogen dioxide.

M = (1 x M of N) + (2 x M of O)
= 14.01 g/mol + 2(16.00 g/mol)
= 46.01 g/mol

8.92 g NO2 x 1 mol NO2


= 0.194 mol NO2
46.01 g NO2

0.194 mol NO2 x 6.022x10 molecules NO2


23

1 mol NO2

= 1.17 x 1023 molecules NO2


Sample Problem 3.5 mass (g) of (NH4)2CO3
divide by M

amount (mol) of (NH4)2CO3


multiply by 6.022 x 1023 formula units/mol

number of (NH4)2CO3 formula units


3 O atoms per formula unit of (NH4)2CO3

number of O atoms

SOLUTION: (NH4)2CO3 is the formula for ammonium carbonate.

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
Sample Problem 3.5

41.6 g (NH4)2CO3 x 1 mol (NH4)2CO3


= 0.433 mol (NH4)2CO3
96.09 g (NH4)2CO3

0.433 mol (NH4)2CO3 x 6.022x10 formula units (NH4)2CO3


23

1 mol (NH4)2CO3

= 2.61x1023 formula units (NH4)2CO3

2.61x1023 formula units (NH4)2CO3 x 3 O atoms


1 formula unit of (NH4)2CO3

= 7.83 x 1023 O atoms
