Date:_________________Period:____ The Mole Notes What is the Mole?
A counting unit for _________________________________________________________!
1 mole = _________________________________ items SI base unit for _____________________ Symbol: _____________
Amedeo Avogadro
Italian scientist who determined that at a given
temperature, every gas will have the same number of particles per unit volume. NA = ________________________________ 1 mole of gas will have a volume of ________________ at STP (__________________________________). 1 mole of a substance will have a mass in _____________________ equal to the ____________________________________________ given on the periodic table.
Calculating Molar Mass
1) To carry out a chemical reaction, you need 1 mole of zinc nitrate, Zn(NO3)2. How many grams will you need to get for this reaction?
2) Calculate the molar mass of these two substances:
Examples: You need 1 mole of copper (II) chloride to perform a reaction, but you only have its dihydrate in your stock room. How many grams should you collect for this reaction?
Converting Units
If we know any of the quantities of a substance in the picture, we
can convert to any of the others.
Take a WILD guess at what method we use to do this
1) A small container of compressed gas contains 4.70 moles of Helium. What volume will this gas occupy at STP?
2) I have 0.50 moles of Cu(NO3)2. How many grams do I have?
3) How many moles is 2.408 x 1024 molecules of sugar?
4) How many moles of hydrogen atoms are in 38.8 L of ammonia gas (NH3) at STP?
