The MOLE

The mass of 1 mole of a substance.

Molar Mass

Calculate the molar mass of 1 mole of magnesium chloride. (first you need a formula)

Calculate the molar mass

FORMULAS - review

MgCl2The subscript is the number at the bottom of a formula.There is 1- Mg & 2 - Cl

How to calculate molar mass

1. Identify the # of atoms of each element

2. Multiply # atoms by the atomic mass of that element. (round to 2 #’s after the decimal)

3. Add them all together

4. Grams (g) is the unit

Molar MassMgCl2

Mg – 1 (24.31) = 24.31Cl – 2 (35.45) = 70.90

or

95.21 g/mol

•The percent BY MASS of each element in a compound – divide the element’s total mass (part) by the molar mass (whole) then multiple by 100 to get the percent.

•Ex: % composition of MgCl2

Mg – 1 (24.31) = 24.31 / 95.21 x 100 = 25.53% Mg Cl – 2 (35.45) = 70.90 / 95.21 x 100 = 74.47% ClMolar mass = 95.21 g/mol

K – 1 (39.10) = 39.10 / 158.04 x 100 =

24.74% K Mn – 1 (54.94) = 54.94 / 158.04 x

100 = 34.76% Mn

O – 4 (16.00) = 64.00 / 158.04 x 100 =

40.50% O

molar mass KMnO4 = 158.04

Practice - Calculate the % comp of KMnO4:

1. Find the % comp of the element in the compound

2. Change the % to a decimal (move decimal 2 times to the left or divide by 100)

3. Multiply that decimal by the amount (g) of the sample.

Ex: Calculate amount of chlorine in 203.5 grams of MgCl2. (use the % we found earlier)

74.47% Cl = .7447 x 203.5 = 151.5 grams Cl

Calculating the amount of an element in a sample

H – 2(1.01) = 2.02

O – 1(16.00) = 16.00

Molar mass H2O = 18.02

Practice: Calculate the amount of oxygen in 15.75 grams of water.

/ 18.02 x100 = 88.79% O

88.79% O = .8879 x 15.75 = 13.98 grams O

• Ex: A compound was found to be 54.53% Carbon, 9.15% Hydrogen, and 36.32% Oxygen. Find its Empirical Formula.

Steps:•Assume a 100g sample (change % g)

•Use molar mass to find moles of each

•Divide all moles by the smallest number of moles

•Round each to the nearest whole # (sometimes you have to multiply to get a whole number - special)

• The resulting whole #are the subscripts for that element in the empirical formula

What is a mole?

Remember – Molar mass is the mass (grams) of 1 mole

1 mole Fe = _________grams Fe

2.5 mole Fe = ________ grams Fe

113.5 grams Fe = _______ moles Fe
