The Mole Concept
Learning Competency: S9MTIIi-19 Use the mole concept to express mass of substances Activity 1: Match Me
Direction: Match column A (measuring units) to
column B (equivalent number) Column A Column B 1. 1 dozen of eggs A. 2 2. 1 gross of leaves B. 12 3. 1 ream of bond paper C. 20 4.1 pair of slippers D. 24 5. 1 quire of writing paper E. 144 6. 1 score of peanut seeds F. 500 • The word mole means different things to different people. To some, it’s that little creature that burrows underground For others, it’s that birthmark one has above the lips or on the cheek.
For chemists, mole is the atom’s
unit of measurement. The dictionary defines the mole as the unit of amount in chemistry. The 1971 General conference on Weighs and Measures officially defined the mole as “the amount of a substance of a system which contains as many elementary entities as there are atoms in 0.012 kg of carbon-12.” The mole represents the number 6.02 x1023. This means that one mole of any substance contains 6.02x1023 particles. This constant number is also known as Avogadro’s constant, in honor of Amedeo Avogadro, an Italian physicist who proposed in1811 that equal volumes of various gases contain equal numbers of molecules if kept at the same temperature. One mole of a substance: consists of 6.02x1023 particles of that substance; has the same number of particles as exactly 12 grams of carbon-12; has a mass equivalent to atomic, molecular or formula mass of the substance expressed in grams. Example: 1. Caffeine is the stimulant found in coffee, tea and chocolate. It is used in the formulation of some analgesic and antipyretic tablets. Its molecular formula is C8H10N4O2. In 50.0 grams of caffeine, how many molecules are present? 2. Calculate the number of particles present in the following substances: a. 0.25 mol NO2 ( molecules NO2) b. 7.15 mol NH3 (molecules NH3) c. 48.0 g O2 (molecules O2) 3. Determine the mass in grams of the following substances: d. 1.25 mol Mg e. 0.692 mol C8H18 f. 3.01 x1023 molecules of Al(NO3)3 PERFORMANCE TASK #4: 1 WHOLE SHEET OF PAPER RUBRICS: Conversion factors needed- 1 pt. Show solutions- 2 pts. Final answer- 2 pts. 5 points in each number Date of Submission: January 21, 2022 1. A cancer patient needs to increase his ascorbic acid (C6H8O6) intake to fight cancer cells. a. How many moles of ascorbic acid does he need to complete the doctor’s prescription of 13.00 g of intravenous ascorbic acid every day? b. How many molecules of ascorbic acid does he need everyday to fight the cancer cells? 2. Aspartame (C14H18N2O5) is synthetic table sugar substitute in food and drinks. If a food product needs 0.25g of C14H18N2O5 to sweeten the cupcake, and you ate this food product, how many molecules of aspartame have you eaten? 3. During exercise, lactic acid, (C3H6O3) forms in the muscles causing muscle cramps. If 5.0 g of lactic acid concentrate in your leg muscles, how many moles of lactic acid are causing you pain? 4. Paraffin ( C22H46)is a wax used in candle making. During combustion, a 20.0g candle produces 1.42 moles of CO2. How many molecules of CO2 are released in the atmosphere after using the candle?
