Professional Relevance: Amount of substance

Why is it important to know the amounts of substances in a chemical reaction?


There are lots of examples, such as:
› When chemists are making products such as pharmaceuticals or dyes etc they need
to know how much of the reacting chemicals they need to have in order to make a
certain amount of product.
› If a chemical reaction produces a gas, chemical engineers need to be able to calculate
the quantity of gas being released to determine whether there is a risk of explosion in
the reaction containers.
› In analytical science knowing the amount of particles in a solution can be used to test
the amount of iron in a blood sample.
› In environmental science it can be used to measure pollution levels in water samples.

When we look at a balanced equation, we are looking at the number of particles……

› Counting particles also


known as species:

› Molecules
› Atoms
› Ions
› Electrons

Avogadro’s Constant
• If you weigh out the relative atomic mass in g of any element, it will always
contain the same number of atoms.
• This number is known as the Avogadro constant. NA = 6.022 x 1023
• When we count atoms, numbers like 6.022 x 1023 are difficult to work with,
so we call 6.022 x 1023 particles 1 mole

6.022 x 1023 particles = 1 mol

• There are 6.022 x 1023 carbon-12 atoms in a 12g sample of carbon-12


• The Avogadro constant is defined as the number of atom in 12g of carbon-
12.
The Avogadro constant, NA

› NA = (6.022 x 1023) is HUGE (602,200,000,000,000,000,000,000)

› If you were give one mole of pounds the day you were born and
spent a billion pounds (£1,000,000,000) a second, you would still
have more than 99.999% of the money left if you died aged 90.

The Mole

DEFINITION: One mole


of a substance
contains the same
number of particles
(atoms, ions,
molecules) of a
substance as there are
atoms in 12g of
carbon-12.
The mole
• One mole of atoms contains 6.022 x 1023 atoms.
• How many atoms are in 2 moles?
2 x 6.022 x 1023 = 1.2044 x 1024 atoms

The Avagadro constant, NA , is 6.022 x 1023 .

So,
number of particles = number of mol x NA
How many? number of particles = number of mol x NA

• How many atoms in 0.125 mol of magnesium?


0.125 x 6.022 x 1023 = 7.528x 1022 atoms
• How many molecules in 5.0 mol of oxygen O2?
5 x 6.022 x 1023 = 3.011 x 1024 molecules
• How many O atoms in 5.0 mol of oxygen O2?
2 x 3.011 x 1024 = 6.022 x 1024 atoms
• How many moles is 1.807 x 1024 atoms of copper?
number of moles = number of particles mol / NA
1.807 x 1024 / 6.022 x 1023 = 3.00 moles
Calculating numbers of moles from
mass
• What mass of iron would you have to weigh out to have 1 mole of iron
atoms?
55.85g
• What mass of sodium would you have to weigh out to have 1 mole of
sodium atoms?
22.99g
• What mass of lithium would you have to weigh out to have 3 moles of
lithium atoms?
3 x 6.94 = 20.82g
• Work out the equation that links the number of moles, mass and the molar
mass?
Calculating number of moles
Number of moles = mass You need to be able
molar mass to re-arrange this.

• Calculate the number of moles in 96.08g of carbon, C.


Number of moles = mass / molar mass = 96.08 / 12.01 = 8.00mol
• Calculate the mass, in g, of 0.050 mol of nitrogen dioxide, NO2.
Mass = number of mole x molar mass = 0.050 x (14.01+16.00+16.00) = 2.301g
• Calculate the molar mass when 2.65g contains 0.025 mol
Molar Mass = mass / number of mole = 2.65 / 0.025 = 106
Mass Units
You will need to know these
1 tonne = 1 x 106g
to convert tonnes to g x 106
to convert g to tonnes x 10-6
1 kg = 1x103g
to convert kg to g x 103
to convert g to kg x 10-3
1 mg = 1x10-3g
to convert mg to g x 10-3
to convert g to mg x 103
Things to
remember…..

The Ar or Mr of a substance in grams contains one


mole of substance.

One mole of any substance contains:


Unit conversions to remember: 6.022 x1023 particles (the Avogadro constant, NA)
• 1 tonne = 1,000,000g = 1 x106 g
• 1 kg = 1000g = 1 x 103 g Mass (in g) = Mr x moles
• 1mg = 1 x 10-3 g
number of particles = number of moles x 6.022 x 1023
n CO2 = m / Mr = 44 / 44.01 = 1.00mol

n N2 = m / Mr = 2.8 / 28.02 = 0.0999mol

n Kr= m / Mr = 14000 / 84.80 = 165mol

n Fe2 O3 = m / Mr = 1000000 / 159.70 = 6261mol

m C3H8 = n x Mr = 0.02 x 44.11 = 0.882g

m KMnO4 = n X Mr 0.25 x 158.05= 39.5g


NA = 6.022 x 1023
number of particles = number of mol x NA = 0.200 x 6.022 x 1023 = 1.2044 x 1023 atoms

number of moles H2 = number of molecules / NA = 3.99 x 1024 / 6.022 x 1023 = 6.63mol

Mass of H2 = n x Mr = 6.63 x 2.02 = 13.4g


Mass of Ni in coin = (43/100) x 6.32 = 2.72g
n Ni = m / Mr = 2.72 / 58.69 = 0.0463mol
number of particles = number of mol x NA = 0.0463 x 6.022 x 1023 = 2.79 x 1022 atoms

Mr = m / n = 1 / 0.00568 = 176.1
a) number of moles CO2 = m/Mr = 11 / 44.01 = 0.250 mol
b) Each CO2 molecule contain 1 C atom,
so 0.250mol of CO2 contains 0.250 mol C atoms
c) Each CO2 molecule contain 2 O atoms,
so 0.250mol of CO2 contains 0.250 x2 mol = 0.500mol O atoms
