Moles Notes and Practice

Definitions:
Mole: A unit of measurement used to measure very small things (like atoms and molecules). It
is similar to “a dozen” (12 of something). 1 mole of something is 6.02 x 1023 of that thing.

Avogadro’s number: The number of particles (atoms or molecules) that are contained in
one mole.
1 mole = 6.02 x1023 particles

Molar Mass: The mass of one mole of that substance. It tells you the number of grams in 1
mole of a compound. The molar mass for an element is found on the periodic table. Its unit is
g/mol. Ex: Hydrogen: 1.008 g/mol means 1 mol of Hydrogen will weigh 1.008 grams
Guiding Question: How many molecules are in 1 drop of water?

Step 1: Find the molar mass.

Formula for water:


H2O

Molar mass of Hydrogen =


1 008 glmol
Molar mass of Oxygen =15.999
g not
Molar Mass of water =
2 1.008 15.999 18.0159not

Practice: Find the molar mass of the following elements and compounds.

14.00791T
A. N E. CO2

215.999 12.011

B. O F. NH3 44.00991Mt

lmol 3.024 14.007


C. Li 17.0319Mt
G. Mg(OH)2

24.305 2.016 31.998

D. Cl 58.31991C
H. Al (CO )
2 3 3

53.964 36.033 143.991

233.98891m
Step 2: Use Dimensional Analysis to convert grams to moles

Let’s start by finding how many moles of water are in 1 drop.

1 drop of water = 0.05 g

Molar mass of water =

Step 3: Use Dimensional Analysis to convert moles to molecules

Moles of water in 1 drop =

1 mole = 6.02 x 1023 molecules


Mole Island
Practice: Calculate the solution to each problem. Be sure to include sig figs and the units!

1. How many moles are in 3.6g of C?

2. How many atoms are in 40.0 moles of C?

3. How many grams are in 8.41 moles of Li?

4. How many grams are in 5.63 moles of AlCl3?

5. How many moles are in 27.9 g of MgO?

6. Challenge: How many molecules are in a standard bottle of water (499.7 g of water)?
