Atoms
* Here are some examples / solutions to density problems:
Ex. Compound “X” has a density of 3.0 g/ml. Determine the mass of 12 mL of X. How many moles are in 12 mL of X…?
Step # 1. 12 mL x 3g /1 mL = 36g
Step # 2. H2O ~ 2(1.0) + 16.0 = 18.0g
Step # 3. 36g x 1 mol / 18.0g = 2.0 mol
Ex. An unknown compound has a molar mass of 73.0 g/mol. If 0.15 mol occupies a volume of 50 mL, determine the compound’s density.
Step # 1. 0.15 mol x 73.0g / 1mol = 10.95g
Step # 2. 10.95g / 50mL = 0.219 g/mL ~ 0.22 g/mL

Percent Composition
Don't worry! we have easy instructions on how to plow through percent composition and become a professional at it! (:
Percent Composition - The percent composition of a component in a compound is the percent of the total mass of the compound that is due to that component.
****The percentage by mass of an element in a compound is always the same*****
To find the percentage by mass, determine the mass of each element present in one mole.
The percent composition (percentage composition) of a compound is a relative measure of the mass of each different element present in the compound.
To calculate the percent composition of a component in a compound:
1. Find the molar mass of the compound by adding up the masses of each atom
in the compound using the periodic table.
2.Calculate the mass due to the component in the compound you are for which you are solving by adding up the mass of these atoms.
3.Divide the mass due to the component by the total molar mass of the compound and multiply by 100.

Remember this!
Percent composition = mass due to specific component/ total molar mass of compound x 100%

Molar Mass
- The mass (grams) of 1 mole of a substance is called the molar mass
- It can be determined from the atomic mass on the periodic table
- Measured in g/mol
Molar mass is the atomic weight of an element expressed in grams is the mass of 1 mole of element.
How do you determine Molar Mass in a Compound?
To determine the molar mass of a compound you must ADD all the mass of the atoms together
Here's an explanation that will help you understand what Molar mass is:
Follow these steps to find molar mass! What is the molar mass of H20? (water)
- Identify how many atoms of each of the elements are in the chemical formula. In the example there are 2 atoms of Hydrogen and there is 1 atom of Oxygen.
- Look at the periodic table and search for the elements given & then look at each of their atomic masses. The elements in H20 are Hydrogen and Oxygen. The atomic mass for Hydrogen is 1.0 amu and the atomic mass for Oxygen is 16.0 amu
- Now multiply the number of atoms found in the chemical formula with the atomic mass. 2 atoms of Hydrogen --->2(1.0) + 1atom of Oxygen-----> 16.0= 18.0 g/mol
- What is the molar mass of NO2?
- What is the molar mass of NaCl?
- What is the molar mass of FeO?
- What is the molar mass of NaNO3?
NO2: 14.0 + 2(16.0)= 142.1 g/mol
NaCl: 23.0 + 35.5= 58.5 g/mol
FeO: 55.8 + 16.0= 71.8 g/mol
NaNO3: 23.0 + 14.0 + 3|(16.0)= 85 g/mol
Mole Conversions
To convert between moles & mass we use molar mass as the conversion factor. You must also be sure to cancel the appropriate units.
Here's an example: How many grams is there in 1.5 mol of 02?
1.5 Mol x 32.0 g = 48.0 g
1 mol
Now you TRY!
A sample of HCL contains 0.54 mol. How many grams of HCl is this?

Avagadro's Number and the Mole:
As we know, atoms and molecules are extremely small and microscopic objects contain too many of them to count or weigh individually.
However, Amedeo Avogadro proposed a solution to this problem...
So what is Avagadro's #?
1 Mole = 6.02 x 10^23
But What's a Mole?
A mole is simply a multiple of things
Particle
Atom: Element 6.02 x 10^23
1 mole Fe
Molecule: Covalent 6.02 x 10^23
Compound 1 mole CO2
Formula Ionic 6.02 x 10^23
Unit: Compound 1 mole NaCl
^ Example of using the mole:
3. this equation cancels out the unit for moles and leaves you with the amount of molecules in the
substance
4. your final answer is 9.1805 x 10^24 molecules
However, Amedeo Avogadro proposed a solution to this problem...
- the # of atoms in 12.00000 g of Carbon would be equal to a constant (this is = to 1 mole of carbon).
- this value is now called Avagadro's # and forms the basis of all quantitative chemistry
So what is Avagadro's #?
1 Mole = 6.02 x 10^23
But What's a Mole?
A mole is simply a multiple of things
- 1 pair = 2
- 1 dozen = 12
- 1 century = 100 years
- So... 1 mole = 6.02 x 10^23
- 1 mole of meters would cross the entire galaxy!
- $mole would be enough to give every person on earth 1 million billion dollars
Particle
Atom: Element 6.02 x 10^23
1 mole Fe
Molecule: Covalent 6.02 x 10^23
Compound 1 mole CO2
Formula Ionic 6.02 x 10^23
Unit: Compound 1 mole NaCl
^ Example of using the mole:
- A sample of Carbon contains 3.78 x 10^24 atoms. How many moles of carbon is this?
- 3.78 x 10^24 atoms x 1 mole / 6.02 x 10^23 atoms
- 3.78 x 10^24 / 6.02 x 10^23 (when doing this equation on your calculator you want to press "2nd ," which gives you EE. This replaces the 10 and gives you a more precise answer)
- this equation cancels out the unit atoms leaving us with the amount of moles...
- thus your final answer is 6.28 moles
- Say you have 15.25 moles in a compound. But you want to know the amount of molecules in the substance. How would you solve this problem?
- 15.25 moles x 6.02 x 10^23/ 1 mole
- But how did we figure our the ratio of molecules to moles? You look at the chart above the first example! Simple as that.
3. this equation cancels out the unit for moles and leaves you with the amount of molecules in the
substance
4. your final answer is 9.1805 x 10^24 molecules
