Avogadro’s number
• The number of particles in 1 mole is called Avogadro’s Number
(6.02 x 1023)
• This is the magic number that allows us to turn atomic masses (amu) into grams
77
Atomic Masses• Unit is the amu.
– atomic mass unit– 1 amu = 1.66 x 10-24g
• We define the masses of atoms and molecules in terms of atomic mass units. Amu’s can be found on the Periodic Table.– 1 Carbon atom = 12.01 amu– 1 Zinc atom = 65.39 amu
88
Molecular massesMolecular mass of a molecule = atomic masses of all the atoms of that molecule
–1 O2 molecule = 2(16.00 amu) = 32.00 amu–1 MgCl2 = 24.31 + 2(35.45) = 95.21 amu
• Atomic mass, molecular mass, and formula mass are ALL measured in amu.
99
Practice• Calculate the molecular mass (in amu) of the
following compounds:• Sodium chloride (NaCl):• (22.99 amu + 35.45 amu =) 58.44 amu
• Sulfur dioxide (SO2):
• (32.07 amu + 2 x 16.00 amu =) 64.07 amu
• Iron(III) hydroxide (Fe(OH)3):
• (55.85 amu + 3 x (16.00 amu + 1.01 amu)) = 106.87 amu
1010
Molar Mass• The molar mass is the mass in grams
of one mole of a compound• The molecular mass can be calculated
from atomic masses:
water = H2O = 2(1.01 amu) + 16.00 amu = 18.02 amu
1111
• 1 molecule has a molecular mass of 18.02 amu
• 1 mole of H2O will weigh 18.02 g, therefore the molar mass of H2O is 18.02 g
1212
• 1 mole of C atoms (= 12.01 amu) = 12.01 g• 1 mole of Zn atoms (= 65.39 amu) = 65.39 g• 1 mole of O2 molecules (= 32.00 amu) =
32.00 g• 1 mole of MgCl2 formula unit (= 95.21 amu)
= 95.21 g
• Notice:Notice: When you just have a SINGLE element, the molar mass = atomic mass
