What we’re going to Learn
1. The concept of the mole
2. Given moles calculate number of particles
3. Be able to calculate molecular mass and
gram formula mass and weight
4. Be able to convert moles to mass,
particles, and volume and convert mass to
moles, volume, and particles

5. Calculate the percent composition of a
compound by mass of each element.
and
6. Calculate both the empirical (simplest)
formula and molecular formula of a
compound.

The Mole
• A counting unit
• Similar to a dozen, except instead
of 12, it’s 602 billion trillion
602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
• 6.02 X 1023 (in scientific notation)
• This number is named in honor of
Amedeo Avagadro (1776 – 1856),
who studied quantities of gases
and discovered that no matter what
the gas was, there were the same
number of molecules present
Just How Big is a Mole?
• Enough soft drink cans to cover the
surface of the earth to a depth of
over 200 miles.
• If you had Avogadro's number of
unpopped popcorn kernels, and
spread them across the United
States of America, the country would
be covered in popcorn to a depth of
over 9 miles.
• If we were able to count atoms at the
rate of 10 million per second, it
would take about 2 billion years to
count the atoms in one mole.
6
Everybody Has Avogadro’s
Number!
But Where Did it Come From?
• It was NOT just picked!
It was MEASURED.
• One of the better
methods of measuring
this number was the
Millikan Oil Drop
Experiment
• Since then we have
found even better ways
of measuring using xray technology

The Mole
• 1 dozen cookies = 12 cookies
• 1 mole of cookies = 6.02 X 1023 cookies
• 1 dozen cars = 12 cars
• 1 mole of cars = 6.02 X 1023 cars
• 1 dozen Al atoms = 12 Al atoms

Note that the NUMBER is always the same,
but the MASS is very different!
Mole is abbreviated mol (gee, that’s a lot
quicker to write, huh?)

Molar Mass
• The Mass of 1 mole (in grams)
• Equal to the numerical value of the average
atomic mass (get from periodic table)
1 mole of C atoms
=
12.0 g
1 mole of Mg atoms
=
24.3 g
1 mole of Cu atoms
=
63.5 g
17
Other Names Related to Molar Mass
• Molecular Mass/Molecular Weight: If you have a single
molecule, mass is measured in amu’s instead of grams. But,
the molecular mass/weight is the same numerical value as 1
mole of molecules. Only the units are different. (This is the
beauty of Avogadro’s Number!)
• Formula Mass/Formula Weight: Same goes for
compounds. But again, the numerical value is the same.
Only the units are different.
• THE POINT: You may hear all of these terms
which mean the SAME NUMBER… just different units

Atoms/Molecules and Grams
• Since 6.02 X 1023 particles = 1 mole
AND
1 mole = molar mass (grams)
• You can convert atoms/molecules to
moles and then moles to grams! (Two step
process)
• You can’t go directly from atoms to
grams!!!! You MUST go thru MOLES.
• That’s like asking 2 dozen cookies weigh
how many ounces if 1 cookie weighs 4 oz?
You have to convert to dozen first!

Chemical Formulas of Compounds
• Formulas give the relative numbers of atoms or
moles of each element in a formula unit - always a
whole number ratio (the law of definite
proportions).
NO2
2 atoms of O for every 1 atom of N
1 mole of NO2 : 2 moles of O atoms to every 1
mole of N atoms
• If we know or can determine the relative number
of moles of each element in a compound, we can
determine a formula for the compound.
40
Types of Formulas
41
• Empirical Formula
The formula of a compound that
expresses the smallest whole number ratio
of the atoms present.
The Ionic formula is always the empirical
formula
• Molecular Formula
The formula that states the actual number
of each kind of atom found in one molecule
of the compound.
To obtain an Empirical Formula
1. Determine the mass in grams of each
element present, if necessary.
2. Calculate the number of moles of each
element.
3. Divide each by the smallest number of
moles to obtain the simplest whole
number ratio.
4. If whole numbers are not obtained* in
step 3), multiply through by the smallest
number that will give all whole numbers
* Be
careful! Do not round off numbers prematurely
