What is Stoichiometry? In Chemistry, calculations that relate different quantities of substances (eg. Mass, Moles) are involved in Stoichiometry. Stoichiometry is a study involving measurable or quantitative relationships that exists in chemical reactions. The term was derived from Greek word stoicheion meaning element and metron as measure. The topic focuses on the relationships between moles, mass and particles. Mole is a unit that defines the amount of a substance that contains different chemical entities such as atoms, molecules and ions. It is equal to 12 grams of Carbon-12, the isotope of carbon with a relative mass of 12. Involved in moles is the Avogadro’s Number which is characterized as 6.02 x 1023 and in honor to Amadeo Avogadro, …show more content…
The number of molecules in a mole in any particle is 6.02 x 1023 . The term “molecules” is used to compounds that are covalent. Covalent Compounds are compounds that shares electrons to other elements. FORMULA UNITS AND MOLES A mole can also describe the number of ions in an ionic compound. Ionic compounds determine elements who give/takes electrons from/ to other elements. The formula unit is the lowest whole-number ratio of elements in an ionic compound. Formula units are particles that determines ionic compounds. Mole Conversions Mass and Moles If you know the mass of a given substance you can solve the moles of the substance. For example, you have a sample of Sodium chloride (NaCl) with 11.2 grams and you have to know the number of moles do NaCl have. First, you must add up the mass of each element in the compound. Sodium (Na) has a mass of 22.99 amu and Chloride (Cl) has a mass of 35.45 amu. Adding the masses of the two elements sums up to 58.5 g/mol. This means that 1 mole of NaCl have 58.5 g. …show more content…
Conversions between Mass, Mole and Particles After getting the total mass of the compound, divide it by the given mass which is 11.2 grams and express the answer as moles. Given that if we have 2.50 moles of NaCl, we must determine the amount of grams that it contains. First we must determine the mass of a compound or an element then multiply the given moles to the mass of the compound and express the answer in the unit of mass. Particles and Moles In determining the particle of a compound or an element by using the Avogadro’s Number Similar to the relationship between Mass and Moles, solving the number of particles (in atoms, molecules or formula units) uses the idea of Avogadro’s Number (abbreviated as N) which is quantified as 6.02 x 1023. For example, we have 2 moles of water or H2O and we must determine the number of particles. Shown in Figure 1, we must multiply the given moles to the Avogadro’s Number in able to convert particles to moles. One important note to remember is the unit to be used. The unit of particles can be atoms for single elements, molecules for covalent compounds and formula units for ionic
Empirical formulas represent the ratio of atoms in a formula. It is expressed in the simplest, small, whole number ratio. The molecular formula can either be the empirical formula, or a multiple of the empirical
Mole of chlorine : 1.0217g - .221g - .3946 g = .4061 g of chlorine
5. Calculate the density of an object that has a mass of 43 g and a volume of 56.0 mL.
The mole is a convenient unit for analyzing chemical reactions. Avogadro’s number is equal to the mole. The mass of a mole of any compound or element is the mass in grams that corresponds to the molecular formula, also known as the atomic mass. In this experiment, you will observe the reaction of iron nails with a solution of copper (II) chloride and determine the number of moles involved in the reaction. You will determine the number of moles of copper produced in the reaction of iron and copper (II) chloride, determine the number of moles of iron used up in the reaction of iron and copper (II) chloride, determine the ratio of moles of iron to moles of copper, and determine the number of atoms and formula units involved in
3. 3.14 x 1023 molecules of CO2 are produced in a chemical reaction. How much would the sample weigh in grams?
The Empirical Formula is a formula that shows elements in a compound. The molecular formula gives the amount of atoms that each element has in a compound. These formulas were used to calculate and find elements that were given prior to the crash. The formulas also helped our team find out which passengers had each of the possible materials on the flight.
Molecule- a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical
To prepare a quantitative solution, you need to know the weight of the substance and the quantity of the solution. For example, you have 40 grams of NaOH (Sodium Oxide) in 1000mL of water. The amount of water and weight of the substance makes a Mole. one mole is equal to 1000mL of water and 40 grams of NaOH and varies by the amount of water you have but the weight of the substance must also change. To make a correct solution, you need to know the atomic mass of the substance and how much water you have in mL or L. If there are multiple elements, you need to add the combined weight of all elements (EX. NaOH= 23+16+1+40 grams.) and then divide the weight by the mass. To make a solution, you should use a beaker or flask that can measure at least
A method that we have used earlier this year in chemistry is Avogadro’s number (otherwise known as the Mole). Avogadro’s number is used to find very large numbers of molecules in a substance. The method in comparison to popcorn kernels is somewhat similar to using Avogadro’s number. Using Avogadro’s number we can find the number of molecules in a substance by using the mass and molar mass of the substance, and using our method we are able to calculate the number of kernels in a bag simply with one unit and the weight of the substance.
Obtain the mass of two dry and empty 125mL or 250mL Erlenmeyer flasks on a milligram balance and then number it. Record the mass in your data table.

Set up conversion factors. To convert 1.07 n of Na to atoms, use the conversion factor with the denominator the same as the given for cancellation.
The guiding question of this ADI lab was, “What are the identities of the unknown compounds?” The goal of this lab was to understand the relationships between moles and molar mass to find the identity of unknown compounds. The mole can be used to measure small amounts of a substance or is used to convert from unit to unit using dimensional analysis. One mole is equivalent to the molar mass in grams of that substance. If you start with the moles of an unknown substance, multiply it by a given compound’s molar mass, and then divide it by however many moles are in the compound of your choice, you will get the mass of the compound. With that answer you can then compare with mass of the compound in the bag to determine its identity. We first started
How is molar mass calculated and why is it useful? Molar mass is calculated by taking each mass of an element in a compound and multiplying by how many molecules there are. It is useful because the molar mass can be used in conversions. The molar mass is equal to one mole of the compound. Define a mole in chemistry and give 3 examples equivalent units that are used in chemical calculations.
In honor of Avogadro's contributions to molecular theory, the number of molecules in one mole was named Avogadro's number, NA or "Avogadro's constant". It is approximately 6.0221415×1023. Avogadro's number is used to compute the results of chemical reactions. It allows chemists to determine amounts of substances produced in a given reaction to a great degree of
