• A mole is a defined number of “chemical things” just like: – One pair of copper atoms = 2 copper atoms – One dozen water molecules = 12 water molecules – One mole of MgCl2 fomula units = 6.02 × 1023 MgCl2 formula units
• Avogadro’s number: the number of elementary entities (particles, atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.) in a mole of a substance.
= 6.02 × 1023 particles/mol = 6.02 × 1023 atoms/mol = 6.02 × 1023 molecules/mol = 6.02 × 1023 formula units/mol (the term "formula unit" is used instead of "molecule" when we refer to ionic compounds)

Molar Mass (Molecular Weight = MW) • Molar mass (= molecular weight, MW) of an element or
compound is the mass in grams of 1 mole of that substance. – Units of molar mass are g/mol (1 amu = 1 g/mol)
• Note: The masses of 1 mole of different elements are different since the masses of the individual atoms are directly different. (Each sample contains 6.02×1023 atoms = 1 mol of atoms.)

Molar Mass (Molecular Weight = MW) • To find the molar mass of an element, look up
the molar mass on the periodic table – Example: Molar mass of nitrogen
• To find the molar mass of a molecule/ compound, look up the molar masses of all the atoms in the compound and add them together – In other words, the molar mass of the compound is
the sum of the mass of the atoms – Example: Molar mass of NH3
= mass of 1 nitrogen atom + mass of 3 hydrogen atoms = 14.007 g/mol + 3 (1.008 g/mol) = 17.031 g/mol 7

• Molarity (M) = one of the most common units used to measure the concentration of a solution. – Definition: number of moles of solute in one liter of
solution.
• The abbreviation for “molar” is an upper case “M” (read as “molar,” or “moles per liter”), or sometimes square brackets [ ] placed around the chemical formula of the solute.

Percent Composition • By definition, all samples of a pure compound have the
same composition – For a given compound, the ratio of particles (or of moles) of
the various atoms is always the same – The percent of each element by weight in various samples
of any compound is constant • Law of Constant Composition (Law of Definite Proportions)
• If we know the molecular formula for a compound and the molar masses of each atom in that compound, we can determine its mass percent composition (also called weight percent)

8a.) Calculate the weight % of each element in Ca3(PO4)2.
Step 1: Count the number of atoms represented by Ca3(PO4)2: ___ Ca ___ P ___ O
Step 2: Calculate the molar mass of Ca3(PO4)2: 3(40.08 g/mol) + 2(30.97 g/mol) + 8(16.00 g/mol) = 310.2 g/mol
Step 3: Calculate the % composition for each element by dividing each part by the whole.
3(40.08 g/mol) Ca * 100 = 38.76% Ca 2(30.97 g/mol) P * 100 = 19.97% P 310.2 g/mol Ca3(PO4)2 310.2 g/mol Ca3(PO4)2

• Another application of calculating % composition is when you are give the masses of each “part” and the mass of the “whole”. – Example 1: A 5.53 g sample of a laboratory solution contains
1.27 g acid. What is the mass % of acid in the sample?
_part_ __1.27 g acid__ whole 5.53 g solution
– Example 2: A solution of CaCl2 in water forms a mixture that is 40.5% CaCl2 by mass. If the total mass of the mixture is 703.1 g, what masses of CaCl2 and water were used?
Chapter 3
Calculating Percent Composition from Mass

• When might this be useful? – Newly discovered compounds must be characterized by
molar mass and % composition to confirm identity

Determining Empirical and Molecular Formulas from Percent Composition

• Empirical formula – formula showing the composition of a compound given as the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms
• Molecular formula – formula indicating the composition of a molecule of a compound and giving the actual number of atoms of each element in the molecule of the compound
• Example: If a compound’s empirical formula is B2H5, its molecular formula could be: B2H5, B4H10, B6H15, etc. – How would compounds of these molecular formulas differ
experimentally? • Different chemical and physical properties • Different molar masses! 36

10a.) Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) contains 40.92% C, 4.58% H, and 54.50% O by mass. What is the empirical formula of ascorbic acid?
Strategy: 1.) Change each of the percentages to grams (assume you have 100 g of the compound)
2.) Calculate the number of moles of each element in the compound.
3.) Divide each number of moles by the least number of moles (this is the mole ratio)
4.) Multiply up to the nearest whole number only if needed (i.e., if you end up with a fraction of an atom, which isn’t possible.
• If very close to a whole number, just round (1.99 = 2; 4.01 = 4)

10b.) The molar mass of ascorbic acid (C3H4O3) is 176.12 g/mol. What is the molecular formula of ascorbic acid?
Strategy: Empirical formula mass * x = molar mass, where x is a multiplying factor applied to the subscripts of each element in the empirical formula.
1.) Calculate the mass of the empirical formula
2.) Divide the molar mass by the empirical formula to achieve x (the whole number multiplier)
x = molar mass ÷ empirical mass
3.) Multiply the subscripts of each element in the empirical formula to arrive at the molecular formula.

Strategy: Empirical formula mass * x = molar mass, where x is a multiplying factor applied to the subscripts of each element in the empirical formula.
1.) We already know that the empirical formula of ascorbic acid is C3H4O3. And so, let’s calculate the mass of the empirical formula!
– There are 3 C, 4 H, and 3 O. So, the mass of C3H4O3 = 3(12.01 g/mol) + 4(1.008 g/mol) + 3(16.00 g/mol) = 88.062 g/mol.
2.) Equation: Empirical formula mass * x = molar mass • Plug in what we know: 88.082 g/mol * x = 176.12 g/mol • Solve for x (multiplier) 88.082 g/mol 88.082 g/mol 3.) Molecular formula = C3*2H4*2O3*2 = C6H8O6 41

Application: Combustion Analysis • It is possible to determine the empirical formula of an organic
compound (containing carbon, hydrogen, and sometimes oxygen) through combustion analysis. – A sample of known mass is placed
in the furnace and heated in the presence of pure oxygen (O2).
– The heat from the furnace converts the carbon in the compound to CO2 and the hydrogen into H2O, which are collected in “traps” that are weighed before and after combustion.
• All of the carbon in the original sample ends up in the CO2 • All of the hydrogen in the original sample ends up in the water
(H2O). • Any oxygen in the sample can be deduced via conservation of
mass (by subtraction).

How to Solve a Combustion Analysis Problem Strategy: Determining the Empirical and Molecular Formulas of hydrocarbons (CXHY) • Step 1: Find the number of moles of each element:
– Convert mass of CO2 and mass of H2O to moles of each compound
– Convert moles of CO2 to moles of carbon; convert moles of H2O to moles of hydrogen
• Step 2: Divide by the smallest number of moles to find the empirical formula (multiply up to the nearest whole number if needed.)
• Step 3: Calculate molecular formula (if asked to solve for this) – Empirical mass * x = molar mass; solve for x; multiply subscripts
of each element in the empirical formula.

Multiplying up to the nearest whole number…. 2.4*2 = 4.8 X 2.4*3 = 7.2 X 2.4*4 = 9.6 X 2.4*5 = 12 ✓
Step 1: Find moles of each element
Step 2: Divide by the least number of moles to find empirical formula
C1H2.4 are we finished? No! Can’t have a fraction of an atom!
C1*5H2.4*5 = C5H12
(Each mole of CO2 corresponds to 1 mole of C atoms in the hydrocarbon sample)
(Each mole of H2O corresponds to 2 moles of H atoms in the hydrocarbon sample)
1.83 g CO2 × 1 mol CO2
