    This document provides instructions for 5 lab stations to calculate the number of molecules in various common substances. Station 1 involves calculating the number of water molecules in a drop of water. Station 2 calculates the number of copper atoms in a penny. Station 3 determines the number of sucrose molecules in a spoon of sugar. Station 4 finds the number of calcium carbonate molecules used to write a name with chalk. Station 5 calculates the iron atoms in a nail. Students are directed to use molecular masses and the mole concept to complete mole-to-particle conversions at each station.

    THE MOLE: LAB ACTIVITY

    Station 1:
    A) Determine the mass of one drop of water by measuring the mass of 50 drops of water.

    Mass of dish (or beaker) = ________ g


    Mass of dish (or beaker) + 50 drops water = ________ g
    Mass of 50 drops water = ________ g
    Mass of 1 drop of water = ________ g

    B) How many molecules are there in one drop of water?

    Remember 1 mole of a substance is 6.02 x 1023 particles (atoms or molecules).


    Therefore, 6.02 x 1023 molecules of water will weigh _______ g/mol

    1. Find # of moles of water for 1 drop

    2. # of molecules in one drop of water

    Station 2
    Calculate the number of copper atoms in a penny.

    1. Find # of moles of Cu

    2. # of Cu atoms in a penny

    Station 3
    A. Calculate the number of moles in one spoon of sugar. Assume that sugar is made up entirely
    of sucrose molecules (C12H22O11).

    Msucrose = _______ g/mol

    B. Calculate the number of molecules of sugar in one spoon of sugar.

    # of molecules sucrose

    Station 4
    Measure the mass of a piece of chalk. Use the piece of chalk to write your full name on the
    sidewalk or an unused blackboard. Measure the mass of the chalk again. Calculate the number of
    molecules that you used to write your name. Assume that chalk is made up of calcium carbonate
    (CaCO3).
    Mass of chalk before = ________ g
    Mass of chalk after = ________ g
    Mass of chalk used to write name = ________ g

    Mchalk = _______ g/mol

    # molecules of chalk
    to write name

    Station 5
    Calculate the number of iron atoms in an iron nail.

    1. Find # moles of Fe

    2. # of Fe atoms in a nail
