Atomic Masses; the Carbon-12 Scale
Individual atoms are far too small to be weighed on a balance.
Atomic massis the mass of an atom in atomic mass units
(amu).
The atomic mass of an element indicates how heavy, on the
average, one atom of that element is compared with an atom
of another element.
To set up a scale of atomic mass, it is needed a standard valuefor one particular species.
One atomic mass unit is defined as a mass exactly equal to
one-twelfth the mass of one carbon-12 atom.

On this scale1H = 1.008 amu
16O = 16.00 amu
1 amu = 1/12 x mass of one C-12 atom
In the periodic table, atomic masses are
listed directly below the symbol of the
element

Relative Atomic Mass, Ar
; Relative Molecule Mass, Mr
Some definitions of atomic and molecular masses:
If the mass ratio of one atom of an element to one atom of
carbon-12 is known, the relative atomic mass of the element can
be calculated.
Relative atomic mass, Arof an =
element X
Mass of one atom of X
1/12 x mass of one 12C atom
Relative molecular mass, Mrof a =

The mass ratio of one atom of nitrogen to one atom of
carbon-12 is 1.24899. What is the relative mass of
nitrogen?
Start from the definition of relative atomic mass of an element

mass of one atom of carbon-12
Relative atomic mass of N = Mass of one atom of N

The amount of each isotope of an element expressed inpercentage is called the relative abundance or isotopic
abundance of that element.
The total relative abundance is 100%.
Element that have more than one isotopemeasure theaverage mass for all occurring mixture of isotopes.
If an element has n isotopes, the average atomic mass of the
elements is:

The mole(mol) is the amount of a substance that contains
as many elementary entities as there are atoms in exactly
12.00 grams of 12C.
The definition specifies the number of objects in a fixedmass of substance.
Therefore, 1 mole of substance = fixed number of chemical
entities and has a fixed mass.

Stoichiometrically Equivalent Molar ratios
Stoichiometry is the quantitative study of reactants and
products in a chemical reaction.
Use moles to calculate the amount of product formed in
a reactionmole method.
Therefore, the stoichiometric coefficients in a chemical
equation can be interpreted as the number of moles of
each substance.

Goal of reaction is to produce the maximum quantityfrom the starting material.
Consequently, some reactant will be left over at the end
of reaction.
The reactant used up first in a reaction is called thelimiting reagent- the maximum amount of product
formed depends on how much of this reactant was
originally present.
Excess reagents are the reactants present in quantities
greater than necessary to react with the quantity of the
limiting reagent.

Theoretical Yieldis the amount of product that wouldresult if all the limiting reagent reacted (from calculation
using the balanced equation).
Actual Yieldis the amount of product actually obtained
from a reaction (almost always less than the theoreticalyield).
Percent yield - to determine reaction efficiency, which
describe the proportion of the actual yield to the
theoretical yield.

Example:
TiCl4(g) + 2Mg(l) Ti(s) + 2MgCl2 (l)
3.54 x 107g of TiCl4are reacted with 1.13 x 107g of Mg.
Calculate the theoretical yield of Ti in grams.
g of TiCl4 Mol of TiCl4 Mol of Ti
First: to find limiting reagent, calculate the no. of moles of Ti that
could produces if all the TiCl4reacted
= 1.87 x 105mol Ti
Next: calculate the no. of moles of Ti formed from 1.13 x 107g
of Mg.
g of Mg Mol of Mg Mol of Ti = 2.32 x 105mol Ti

TiCl4(g) + 2Mg(l) Ti(s) + 2MgCl2 (l)
3.54 x 107g of TiCl4are reacted with 1.13 x 107g of Mg.
Calculate the theoretical yield of Ti in grams.
Therefore, TiCl4is the limiting reagent because it produces a
smaller amount of Ti

Sample Problem Calculating Percent Yield
PROBLEM: Silicon carbide (SiC) is made by reacting sand(silicon dioxide,
SiO2) with powdered carbon at high temperature. Carbon
monoxide is also formed. What is the percent yield if 51.4 kg
of SiC is recovered from processing 100.0 kg of sand?
