  2. Mole concept

  3. Relative atomic mass and Relative molecular mass • Why atomic mass or molecular mass has no unit? • Atoms and molecules are too small to weigh. • Relative atomic mass and Relative molecular mass are comparative values. • This shows how many times an atom or a molecule heavier than th of a Carbon atom.

  4. The mole…. • Atomic mass or molecular mass with g after the number is called a mole. • Example: • Atomic mass of Oxygen is 16. • 16g of oxygen(O) is 1 mole of oxygen atoms. • Molecular mass of Oxygen O2 is 32. • 32g of Oxygen (O2) is 1 mole of oxygen molecules. • Molecular mass of water is 18. • 18g of water is called 1 mole of water.

  5. Number of moles = • Mass (g) =Number of moles X Molar mass

  6. Questions • 1. How many moles are there in 4g of Sodium hydroxide? • Number of moles = • = 0.10moles • 2. Find the number of moles present in 1.28g of oxygen molecules. • Number of moles = • = 0.04 moles

  7. 3. What is the mass of 0.01 moles of sodium hydroxide? • Mass = 0.01 X 40g • = 0.40g • 4. How many grams 1.5 moles of sulphuric acid weighs? • Mass = 1.5 X 98g • = 147g

  8. Try the following questions: • 1. What is the mass of 0.02 moles of carbon dioxide gas? • 0.88g • 2. How many moles are present in 1g of calcium carbonate,CaCO3? • 0.01moles • 3. Find the number of moles present in 3g of potassium hydroxide, KOH. • 0.054moles • 4. Calculate the mass of 100 moles of copper oxide, CuO • 8000g • 5. 5. 2g of sodium hydroxide,NaOH or 3g of potassium hydroxide, KOH contains more number of moles? Show your working clearly. • NaOH = 0.13 moles KOH = 0.054 moles. So NaOH

  9. Avogadro constant • One mole of any substance contains 6.02 X 10 atoms or molecules. • 6.02 X 10 is a constant and is called Avogadro constant or Avogadro Number. • In other words, Avogadro Number is the number of atoms or number of molecules present in ONE mole of a substance. • Avogadro constant is used to find number of particles or number of moles.

  10. Number of moles = Number of molecules Avogadro constant Number of molecules = Number of moles X Avogadro constant

  11. Calculations • Remember always change mass or number of molecules into moles.

  12. Examples: • How many molecules of Carbon dioxide are there in 0.44g of the gas? • Answer: • Number of moles = 0.44g/44g • = 0.01moles • Number of molecules = 0.01 X 6.02 X 10 • = 6.02 X 10

  13. Calculate how many oxygen atoms are present in 1.96g of sulphuric acid? • Answer: • Moles of sulphuric acid = 1.96g/98g • = 0.02 moles • Number of molecules of sulphuric acid • = 0.02 X 6.02 X 10 • =1.20 X 10 • Each sulphuric acid contains 4 oxygen atoms. • So number of oxygen atoms 0.02 moles of H2SO4 is • = 4 X 1.20 X 10 = 4.80 X 10

  14. Mole ratio • When chemical reactions take place, the reactants and products are in a simple ratio (mole ratio) • For example, Zinc and hydrochloric acid react according to the following reaction: • Zinc + Hydrochloric acid  Zinc chloride + Hydrogen gas • Zn + 2HCl  ZnCl2 + H2 • It means, zinc, Hydrochloric acid, Zinc chloride and Hydrogen moles are in the ratio 1:2:1:1 • One mole of Zinc reacts with 2 moles of Hydrochloric acid to produce, One mole of Zinc chloride and 1 mole of Hydrogen gas. • The reactants and products are always in a ratio by moles and not by mass.

  15. Find how many grams of copper oxide can be made from 3.2g of copper. • Answer: • 2Cu + O2 2CuO • The balanced equation shows that two moles of copper reacts with 1 mole of oxygen to form 2 moles of copper(II) oxide. • So change 3.2g to moles • Moles of copper = 3.2g/64g =0.05moles • Copper :Copper oxide is 1:1 ratio. • So moles of copper(II) oxide = 0.05moles • Mass (g) = 0.05 X 80g • = 4g

  16. When Posphorus burns in oxygen, Phosporus(V)oxide is produced. In an experiment, 8g of phsphorus(V)oxide is produced. Find the mass of Phosphorus reacted with oxygen. • Answer: • Equation: 4P + 5O2 2P2O5 • Mole ratio is 4:5:2 • Moles of phosphorus(V)oxide= 8g/142g • = 0.056moles • Mole ratio Phosphorus oxide:phosphorus • 2:4 • Moles of phosphorus burnt = 0.056 X 2 • = 0.112 • Mass of phosphorus = 0.112 X 31g • = 3.472g

  17. Limiting reagent and excess • When there is a chemical reaction, the reactant which is used up completely is the limiting reagent. • The chemical which is left some unreacted at the end is called excess. • When the limiting reagent is finished, the reaction stops. • All mole ratios should be done using the limiting reagent.

  18. Example 1 • 3Mg + Al2O3 3MgO + 2Al • If 2 moles of Magnesium is used with 1 moles of aluminium oxide, which is the limiting agent? Which chemical is in excess? How many moles in excess? • Mole ratio of Mg and Al2O3 is 3:1 • It means for 2 moles of Mg, 0.67 moles of Al2O3 is enough. But we have 1 mole of Al2O3. So Al2O3 is excess and Mg is the limiting reagent. • Moles of Al2O3 (excess) left after reaction is 1.00-0.67 = 0.33moles.

  19. If mass is given, change all masses into moles first. Example 2 2Cu + O2 2CuO In a reaction, 1.92g of copper is oxidised with 0.64g of oxygen. • Find which chemical is the limiting agent • How many g of the other chemical (excess) remaining at the end? • What mass of Copper (II)oxide produced? Answer Change mass in to moles Number of moles of copper = 1.92g/64g = 0.03 moles Number of moles of oxygen = 0.64g/32g = 0.02 moles Cu : O2 mole ratio is 2:1 It means, for 0.03 moles of copper only 0.015 moles of oxygen is enough. But we have 0.02 moles. Copper is the limiting reagent and oxygen is excess.

  20. Excess oxygen = 0.020 – 0.015 = 0.005 moles • Mass of excess oxygen = 0.005 X 32g = 0.16g • Moles of copper oxide (make mole ratio with limiting reagent) 2:2 That is 0.03moles • Mass of copper oxide = 0.03 X 80g = 2.40g • Now try out the following: • 2Na + S  Na2S • If 0.46g of sodium and 0.30g of sulphur reacted, • (a) find the limiting reagent and excess reagent. • Sulphur • (b) find the mass of excess reagent left. • 0.0012 moles Na which is 0.028g • (c) find what mass of sodium sulfide formed. • Moles of Na2S is 0.0094 means 0.73g

  21. Molar volume • Gases have volume. Volume of a gas depends on two factors : • Temperature and Pressure • Volume decreases when pressure is increased. • Volume increases when the temperature is increased.

  22. Molar Volume • One mole of any gas at Room Temperature and Pressure has a volume of 24dm^3 (24000 cm^3) • Room temperature is considered as 20 degree C and atmospheric pressure is 1 atmosphere (760 mm of mercury) • It means 1 mole of oxygen gas is 24000 cm3 • 3 moles of oxygen gas is 3X24000 cm3 at RTP. • 24dm3(1mole) is called molar volume of gases

  23. Moles X molar volume = volume of a gas • Moles = volume of a gas/molar volume Remember to convert volume or mass to moles first. Example 1 What is the volume of 1.1g of carbon dioxide gas at RTP? First convert mass in to moles Moles of CO2 = 1.1g/44g = 0.025moles Volume = moles X molar volume = 0.025 X 24000 cm3 = 600cm3

  24. Example 2 • Find out the mass of 8000 cm3 of sulphur dioxide gas, SO2 at RTP. • First change the volume into moles. • Moles = Volume/molar volume • 8000 cm3/24000 cm3 • = 0.33 moles • Now change the moles in to mass • Mass = moles X molar mass • 0.33 X 64g = 21.12g

  25. % Yield • We can calculate and predict how much of a product is formed during a reaction using the mole ratio. • How're in a real experiment, the predicted (calculated)amount may be different that what we get in actual experiment. • This can be due to: • 1. Some reactants may be left unreacted. • 2. Change of substances in to other forms such as gases • 3.Some reactants may be lost to surrounding by overflowing, splashing etc • 4. Experimental errors and low quality measuring devices.

  26. %yield = Actual yield X 100 Theoretical yield • Example 1: • In an experiment, 20g of Calcium carbonate when heated gave 10g of calcium oxide is formed. Find the percentage yield of calcium oxide. • CaCO3  CaO + CO2 • %yield = Actual yield X 100 Theoretical yield • To work out the above problem, we need the actual yield and theoretical yield(Calculated yield). • Actual yield is given as 10g of Calcium oxide. • Theoretical yield should be calculated by using mole ratio method.

  27. CaCO3  CaO + CO2 • We can find the mass of calcium oxide formed from the mass of calcium carbonate given. • But first convert mass in to moles. • Moles of CaCO3 = 20g/100g • = 0.20moles • Mole ratio CaCO3:CaO is 1:1 • So, moles of CaO is also 0.20 • Mass of CaO = 0.20 X 56g • = 11.20g • Now insert the values • % yield = Actual yield X 100% Theoretical yield That is 10g X 100% = 89.28% 11.20g

  28. Example 2 • 2Na + 2H2O  2NaOH + H2 • 115g of sodium was reacted with water which produced 4.2g of hydrogen gas. What is the % yield of hydrogen gas? Answer • Moles of sodium = 5.00 moles • Moles of H2 = 2.50 moles (2:1) • Mass of H2 = 5.00g • % yield = 84%
