• Mole (mol): amount of substance that contains as many elementary entities as there are atoms in exactly 12 g of the carbon-12 isotope.
• Atoms are small, so this is a BIG number …
• Avogadro’s number (NA) = 6.022 × 1023 mol–1
• 1 mol = 6.022 × 1023 “things” (atoms, molecules, ions, formula units, oranges, etc.)– A mole of oranges would weigh about as much as the
earth!
• Mole is NOT abbreviated as either M or m.

• We can “reverse” the process of finding percentage composition.
• First we use the percentage or mass of each element to find moles of each element.
• Then we can obtain the empirical formula by finding the smallest whole-number ratio of moles.– Find the whole-number ratio by dividing each number
of moles by the smallest number of moles.

• A molecular formula is a simple integer multiple of the empirical formula.
• That is, an empirical formula of CH2 means that the molecular formula is CH2, or C2H4, or C3H6, or C4H8, etc.
• So: we find the molecular formula by:
= integer (nearly)molecular formula mass
empirical formula mass
We then multiply each subscript in the empirical formula by the integer.

• If an element is present in just one compound on each side of the equation, try balancing that element first.
• Balance any reactants or products that exist as the free element last.
• In some reactions, certain groupings of atoms (such as polyatomic ions) remain unchanged. In such cases, treat these groupings as a unit.
• At times, an equation can be balanced by first using a fractional coefficient(s). The fraction is then cleared by multiplying each coefficient by a common factor.
