What the heck is a mole? We have Avagadro ( and others) to thank for this……..
6.02 x 1023 is the number of “things” per mole of the substance.
Here is a tutorial for an over view and for a reference as you work through these problems http://www.wiley.com/college/chem/spencer053872/tutorial/gramsmoles/gramsmoles1.html We can use this to do mathematical conversions to determine mass, volume, and number of atoms or molecules in a given substance. For example let’s check out this video to convert moles methane (CH4) to grams of methane. http://www.sciencegeek.net/Chemistry/Video/Unit4/GMV2.shtml
Once you have finished the video let’s practice by completing these problems (be sure to include units!): …show more content…

Time for some more practice:
1. How many grams of glucose are in 6.63 x 1023 molecules of glucose, C6H12O6? *198.37g C6H12O6

2. Determine the number of molecules found in a 12.4 g sample of H2SO4. *7.61x1023 atoms H2SO4

3. 3.14 x 1023 molecules of CO2 are produced in a chemical reaction. How much would the sample weigh in grams? *2.29g CO2

4. How many atoms are in a 39.8 g sample of Fe? *3.68x1023 atoms Fe

Can I apply this somehow to volume? Well at standard temperature and pressure (STP) a mole of a gas will occupy 22.4 liters. So If we keep our units straight we should be able calculate a given volume of gas from moles. Check it out…… http://www.sciencegeek.net/Chemistry/Video/Unit4/GMV4.shtml 1. Convert 427 Liters of CO2 to moles.

2. 37 liters of O2 to moles.

3. How about 3.4 moles of CO to liters?

4. 122 moles of Methane to liters?

What about converting a given volume of gas to mass or a given mass to volume? Once again you have to get to that common ground first, which is the mole. http://www.sciencegeek.net/Chemistry/Video/Unit4/GMV8.shtml 1. How many molecules are in 22.4 liters of methane?

2. 3.58 x 1023 molecules of propane C8H8 would occupy how much space at STP?

3. You collect 14.2 liters of CO gas from an experiment. How many molecules would be in the sample?

4. 28 grams of H2 are produce from an experiment. How much
