What is a mole? What is molar mass?

  • The mole is the "counting unit" used by chemists to indicate the number of atoms, ions, molecules, or formula units present in a particular chemical sample. 

  • The mole is similar to other counting units that you've used before....pair (2), dozen (12), and gross (144). 

  • The molar mass of a compound tells you the mass of 1 mole of that substance. In other words, it tells you the number of grams per mole of a compound. So the units for molar mass are grams/mole.

How can you convert grams to moles?

To convert grams to moles, start by multiplying the number of atoms by the atomic weight for each element in the compound. Then, add all of your answers together to find the molar mass of the compound. Finally, divide the number of grams of the compound by the molar mass of the compound to find the number of moles.

Calculate the percent composition of NaHSO4

% Na = 22.99/120.06 x 100% = 19.15% 

% H = 1/120.06 x 100% = 0.83% 

% S =  26.71% 

% O = 64/ 120.06 x 100% = 53.31%

What is an empirical formula?

A formula that gives the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.Once the empirical formula is found, the molecular formula for a compound can be determined if the molar mass of the compound is known.  Simply calculate the mass of the empirical formula and divide the molar mass of the compound by the mass of the empirical formula to find the ratio between the molecular formula and the empirical formula. Multiply all the atoms (subscripts) by this ratio to find the molecular formula.

What is a molecular formula?

  • aka true formula

  • tells us the actual number of the different elements in one molecule of a compound.

  • each element is written as their symbols in the periodic table, and the number of atoms for each element is shown by the subscript 

(the small number to the lower right of the element).
