    Notes - Intro Atomic Mass No Vid

    - Carbon was the first element assigned a weight because it is the basis of organic chemistry and holds great value in the chemistry community. - A mole of carbon-12 weighs exactly 12 grams because Avogadro wanted the mole to be exactly 12 grams, and carbon-12 contains 6 protons and 6 neutrons. - Elements on the periodic table have atomic masses with decimals because different isotopes of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons, and the atomic mass listed is a weighted average of all the isotopes.

    THE MOLE

    INQUIRY QUESTIONS
    Form groups of 3-4, collect a whiteboard and pens and answer
    following questions
    1. Why was carbon the first element assigned a weight?
    2. Why does a mole of Carbon -12 weigh EXACTLY 12.00000000
    g?
    3. When you look at the periodic table, why do elements have atomic
    masses with decimals??
    INQUIRY QUESTIONS
    Form groups of 3-4, collect a whiteboard and pens and answer
    following questions
    1. Why was carbon the first element assigned a weight?

    Carbon is the element of LIFE! It held great value in the chemistry


    community, and is the basis of a major subdivision of Chemistry known as
    Organic Chemistry.

    Remember unit 1!?


    INQUIRY QUESTIONS
    Form groups of 3-4, collect a whiteboard and pens and answer
    following questions
    2. Why does a mole of Carbon -12 weigh EXACTLY 12.00000000
    g?

    Actually, it’s the other way round, Avogadro wanted a mole to be EXACTLY
    12.000000 g of carbon. He picked 12.000000 g, because carbon contains 6
    protons and 6 neutrons in it’s nucleus.
    INQUIRY QUESTIONS
    Form groups of 3-4, collect a whiteboard and pens and answer
    following questions
    3. When you look at the periodic table, why do elements have atomic
    mass between that have decimals?
    Unfortunately, not everything is simple.

    As you remember from Science 10 elements have the same number of


    protons but can have different numbers of neutrons. These atoms of the same
    element are known as isotopes. The number on the table is a weighted
    AVERAGE of all the isotopes.
    ATOMIC MASS
    Mass: A measure of the amount of matter
    Atomic Mass: The average mass of all the isotopes of a
    particular element

    Atoms of different elements have different masses


    ATOMIC MASS
    • The atomic mass is found by comparing the mass of an
    atom of an element to the mass of an atom of Carbon-12
    • Carbon-12 is assigned an atomic mass of exactly
    12.000000000000000000000 u (“u” stands for “unified
    atomic mass unit”)
    ATOMIC MASS
    • The mass of one individual atom is extremely small
    • A large number of atoms is required to provide enough
    mass to measure its mass
    • A MOLE is a unit that measures the number of atoms
    that is equivalent to the atomic mass of a particular
    element

    HOW BIG IS THE MOLE?

    If you had Avogadro’s


    number of unpopped
    popcorn kernels, and
    spread them cross the US,
    the country would be
    covered in popcorn to a
    depth of over 14.5 km’s
    HOW BIG IS THE MOLE?

    If 6.02 x 1023 doughnuts


    were divided equally among
    Earth’s 7 billion people,
    each person would have
    about 8.6 x 1013 or
    86 000 000 000 000
    (86 trillion) doughnuts
    HOW BIG IS THE MOLE?

    One mole of paper would


    make a stack that would
    reach to the moon more
    than 80 billion times.
    HOW BIG IS THE MOLE?

    One mole of seconds is


    about 19 quadrillion
    years, or 4 240 666 times
    the age of the earth, or 954
    150 times the age of the
    universe.
    HOW BIG IS THE MOLE?

    If you were able to count


    atoms at the rate of 10
    million per second, it would
    take about 2 billion years
    to count the atoms in one
    mole
    WELCOME TO THE…
    DO YOU WANT AVOGADRO'S #?
    WHAT IS A MOLE?

    • Avogadro’s Number
    • 6.022 141 x 1023 items per mole
    • The abbreviation for the unit mole is mol.
    (do not confuse this with molecules!)
    A MOLE IS JUST A QUANTITY!
    • … a dozen eggs = 12 eggs
    • … a dozen books = 12 books

    • Similarly,
    • … a mole of particles = 6.02 x 1023 particles
    • … a mole of eggs = 6.02 x 1023 eggs
