Formula Mass
 Molecular mass – the sum of the
average atomic masses of all the atoms
in a molecule
 ***Remember***
A molecule is a neutral group of atoms
that are held together by covalent
bonds!!!
The Mole and Molar Mass

Molar Mass

The atomic molar mass is the mass of one
mole of atoms. This is the value found on
your Periodic Table.


All values are rounded to three decimal places.
The term molar mass is a general term
referring to the mass of one mole of a
compound. Also called molecular mass,
formula mass, molar mass.

Add the molar mass together for each atom
bonded together
Molar Mass of Compounds
 The molar mass (mm) of a compound is determined the same way,
except now you add up all the atomic masses for the molecule (or
compound)

Ex. Molar mass of CaCl2
Avg. Atomic mass of Calcium = 40.08g
Avg. Atomic mass of Chlorine = 35.45g
Molar Mass of calcium chloride =
40.08 g/mol Ca + (2 X 35.45) g/mol Cl
 110.98 g/mol CaCl2

The Mole
 Atoms, ions and molecules are so small it is
impractical to refer to 1, 2 or 3 of these particles.
Mole: 6.02 x 1023 items.
This is the number of atoms required to produce the atomic
mass of an element when that mass is expressed in grams.
Example:
1 atom Mg = 24.31 amu (4.04 x 10-23 g)
6.02 x 1023 atoms Mg = 24.31 g
Avogadro’s Number
 Avogadro’s Number (symbol N) is the number of atoms in 12.01
grams of carbon.
 Its numerical value is 6.02 × 1023.
 Therefore, a 12.01 g sample of carbon contains 6.02 × 1023 carbon
atoms.
The Mole
 Reading Balanced Equations
2 Mg(s) + O2(g)  2 MgO(s)


2 Mg atoms + 1 O2 molecule produces 2 MgO formula units.
12.04 x 1023 Mg atoms + 6.02 x 1023 O2 molecules produces 12.04 x
1023 MgO formula units.
2 mol Mg atoms + 1 mol O2 molecules produces 2 mol MgO
formula units.
The terms atoms, molecules and formula units are usually
omitted:
Two moles magnesium react with one mole oxygen to
produce two moles magnesium oxide.
The Mole
Other Examples:
Cu(s) + 2 AgNO3(aq)  2 Ag(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq)
One mole of copper metal
reacts with two moles of silver nitrate
solution
to produce two moles of silver metal
and one mole of copper(II) nitrate
solution.
How Big Is a Mole?
 The volume occupied by one mole of softballs would be about the
size of the Earth.
 One mole of Olympic shot put balls has about the same mass as the
Earth.

Percent Composition
 Law of Definite Proportions:

Elements in a compound combine in a
constant proportion by mass.



For example, 1 g hydrogen combines with 8 g oxygen to
produce 9 g water.
If atoms of an element have a specific mass, it must be true
that atoms combine in a specific ratio.

Empirical/Molecular Formulas
and REVIEW
EMPERICAL FORMULA
The Empirical Formula is the
simplest integer ratio of the
elements in a compound.
For example: C4H8 is NOT an
empirical formula. CH2 IS.
EMPERICAL FORMULA
 Assume you have 100 g of the substance (makes the
math easier because everything is a straight percent).
 Consider the amounts you are given as being in units
of grams.
 Convert the grams to moles for each element.
 Find the smallest whole number ratio of moles for
each element.
EMPIRICAL FORMULA
 EXAMPLE:
 Find the empirical formula for a compound consisting
of 63% Mn and 37% O
EMPIRICAL FORMULA
 Assuming 100 g of the compound, there would be 63
g Mn and 37 g O Look up the number of grams per
mole for each element using the Periodic Table. There
are 54.94 grams in each mole of manganese and 16.00
grams in a mole of oxygen. 63 g Mn × (1 mol
Mn)/(54.94 g Mn) = 1.1 mol Mn 37 g O × (1 mol
O)/(16.00 g O) = 2.3 mol O
EMPIRICAL FORMULA
 Find the smallest whole number ratio by dividing the
number of moles of each element by the number of
moles for the element present in the smallest molar
amount. In this case there is less Mn than O, so divide
by the number of moles of Mn: 1.1 mol Mn/1.1 = 1 mol
Mn 2.3 mol O/1.1 = 2.1 mol O The best ratio is Mn:O of
1:2 and the formula is MnO2 The empirical formula is
MnO2
Molecular Formula
 Molecular Formula is the exact ratio of the elements
in the compound.
 You can find the Molecular Formula of a compound
by using the empirical formula and the molar mass.
 The mass of the molecular formula is called the
molecular mass (in the same way that the mass of the
empirical formula is called the formula mass)
Molecular Formula
 1) Calculate the mass of the empirical formula and
divide the molar mass of the compound by the mass
of the empirical formula in order to find the ratio
between the molecular formula and the empirical
formula.
 2)Then multiply all the atoms by this ratio to find the
molecular formula!
Molecular Formula
 EXAMPLE:
 What is the molecular formula of a compound that
has a molecular weight of 240g? A 5.00g sample
contains 2.00g of Carbon, 0.34g of Hydrogen and
2.69g of Oxygen.
