Calculating the Relative Formula Mass
The relative mass of 1 oxygen atom is 16.
The relative mass of 1 hydrogen atom is 1.
The relative mass of 1 molecule of water (H2O) is 18 (1+1+16=18)
So the relative formula mass (Mr/ r.f.m) is 18.
Use your periodic table to work out the relative formula mass of;
1. CO2 (carbon dioxide)

MOLES
1 mole of a substance will have a mass of grams equal to the relative atomic/formula
mass.
e.g. Carbon has an atomic mass of 12, so1 mole of carbon weighs 12g
Nitrogen gas (N2) has an atomic mass of 28 (14x2), so 1 mole of Nitrogen gas
weighs 28g.
Carbon dioxide has an relative formula mass of 44, so 1 mole of carbon

dioxide weighs 44g.

1 Mole of a substance has 6 x 1023 atoms/molecules/particles in it.
(Avogadro's Constant)
So 1 mole of carbon has 6 x 1023 atoms and weighs 12g.
1 mole of carbon dioxide has 6 x 1023 molecules and weighs 44g.

2. How much does 1 mole of Methane (CH4) weigh? ______________________
3. How much does 1 mole of water (H2O) weigh? __________________________
There are billions of atoms taking place in reactions. We use the mole to simplify the
numbers, the substance is weighed and then we say how many moles of that substance
there are. To find the number of moles we use this equation
MOLES = MASS (g) / relative mass (Mr)
Questions
example;
1. How many moles are there in 66g of carbon?
Moles = 66/12
Moles = 6
2. How many moles are there in 22g of carbon dioxide (CO 2)?

You can rearrange the equation if you have the amount in moles but not the mass;
mass = no. of moles x Mr (relative mass)
Example;
1. What is the mass of 0.5 moles of H2O?
mass = 0.5 x 18
mass = 9g

1 mole of a gas occupies 24 000 cm3 (24 dm3) at room temperature and pressure
(R.T.P).
Volume of gas = moles of a gas x 24
Questions
Example
1. What is the molar volume of 4.5 moles of chlorine at R.T.P?
volume = 4.5 x 24
volume = 108 dm3
2. What is the molar volume of 0.8 moles of carbon dioxide at R.T.P?

_________________________________________________________________
3. What is the molar volume of 0.25 Hydrogen gas at R.T.P?
_________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________
If we know the mass but not the moles of a gas we can first work out the number of
moles (moles = mass/Mr) and then substitute this value into the equation.
Example
1. What is the molar volume of 11.0g of carbon dioxide?
First work out the number of moles; moles = mass/Mr
moles = 11/44, so moles = 0.25.
volume = 0.25 x 24, so molar volume of CO2 is 6.0 dm3
2. What is the molar volume of 64.0g of oxygen?

3. What is the molar volume of 12.0g methane (CH4)?
_________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________
If we know the number of moles but not the volume we can still use the formula if we
rearrange it.
Number of moles = Volume of gas (dm3) / 24
( No. of moles = volume of gas (cm3) /24 000
Questions
Example
1. What is the number of moles of methane in 225.6 dm3 ?
No. of moles = 225.6 / 24
No. of moles = 9.4
2. How many moles in 2.4 dm3 of Nitrogen gas?

Calculating the Relative Formula Mass

The relative mass of 1 oxygen atom is 16.

The relative mass of 1 hydrogen atom is 1.

The relative mass of 1 molecule of water (H2O) is 18 (1+1+16=18)

So the relative formula mass (Mr/ r.f.m) is 18.

1. CO2 (carbon dioxide)

2. NaOH (sodium hydroxide)

4. MgSO4 (Magnesium sulfate)

5. (NH4)2SO4 (Ammonium sulfate)

Carbon dioxide has an relative formula mass of 44, so 1 mole of carbon

So 1 mole of carbon has 6 x 1023 atoms and weighs 12g.

1 mole of carbon dioxide has 6 x 1023 molecules and weighs 44g.
