## Moles and mass

1. Complete the following table:
 Element Relative atomic mass (u) Sample mass (g) Number of moles in the sample Hydrogen 1.01 1.01 Magnesium 24.31 24.31 Carbon 12.01 24.02 Chlorine 35.45 70.9 Nitrogen 42.08
2. How many atoms are there in...
1. 1 mole of a substance
2. 2 moles of calcium
3. 5 moles of phosphorus
4. $24,31\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{g}$ of magnesium
5. $24,02\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{g}$ of carbon

## Molar mass

Molar mass

Molar mass (M) is the mass of 1 mole of a chemical substance. The unit for molar mass is grams per mole or $\mathrm{g}·\mathrm{mol}{}^{-1}$ .

You will remember that when the mass, in grams, of an element is equal to its relative atomic mass, the sample contains one mole of that element. This mass is called the molar mass of that element.

You may sometimes see the molar mass written as ${M}_{m}$ . We will use $M$ in this book, but you should be aware of the alternate notation.

It is worth remembering the following: On the periodic table, the relative atomic mass that is shown can be interpreted in two ways.

1. The mass of a single, average atom of that element relative to the mass of an atom of carbon.
2. The mass of one mole of the element . This second use is the molar mass of the element.
 Element Relative atomic mass (u) Molar mass ( $\mathrm{g}·\mathrm{mol}{}^{-1}$ ) Mass of one mole of the element (g) Magnesium 24,31 24,31 24,31 Lithium 6,94 6,94 6,94 Oxygen 16 16 16 Nitrogen 14,01 14,01 14,01 Iron 55,85 55,85 55,85

Calculate the number of moles of iron ( $\mathrm{Fe}$ ) in a $11,7\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{g}$ sample.

1. If we look at the periodic table, we see that the molar mass of iron is $55,85\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{g}·\mathrm{mol}{}^{-1}$ . This means that 1 mole of iron will have a mass of $55,85\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{g}$ .

2. If 1 mole of iron has a mass of $55,85\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{g}$ , then: the number of moles of iron in $111,7\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{g}$ must be:

$\frac{111,7\mathrm{g}}{55,85\mathrm{g}·{\mathrm{mol}}^{-1}}=2\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{mol}$

There are 2 moles of iron in the sample.

You have a sample that contains 5 moles of zinc.

1. What is the mass of the zinc in the sample?
2. How many atoms of zinc are in the sample?
1. Molar mass of zinc is $65,38\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{g}·\mathrm{mol}{}^{-1}$ , meaning that 1 mole of zinc has a mass of $65,38\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{g}$ .

2. If 1 mole of zinc has a mass of $65,38\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{g}$ , then 5 moles of zinc has a mass of: $65,38\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{g}×5\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{mol}=326,9\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{g}$ (answer to a)

3. $5×6,022×{10}^{23}=30,115×{10}^{23}$

## Moles and molar mass

1. Give the molar mass of each of the following elements:
1. hydrogen
2. nitrogen
3. bromine
2. Calculate the number of moles in each of the following samples:
1. $21,62\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{g}$ of boron ( $\mathrm{B}$ )
2. $54,94\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{g}$ of manganese ( $\mathrm{Mn}$ )
3. $100,3\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{g}$ of mercury ( $\mathrm{Hg}$ )
4. $50\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{g}$ of barium ( $\mathrm{Ba}$ )
5. $40\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{g}$ of lead ( $\mathrm{Pb}$ )

## An equation to calculate moles and mass in chemical reactions

The calculations that have been used so far, can be made much simpler by using the following equation:

$\mathbf{n}\left(\mathrm{number of moles}\right)=\frac{\mathbf{m}\left(\mathrm{mass of substance in}\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{g}\right)}{\mathbf{M}\left(\mathrm{molar mass of substance in}\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{g}·{\mathrm{mol}}^{-1}\right)}$
Remember that when you use the equation $n=\frac{m}{M}$ , the mass is always in grams ( $\mathrm{g}$ ) and molar mass is in grams per mol ( $\mathrm{g}·\mathrm{mol}{}^{-1}$ ).

Is there any normative that regulates the use of silver nanoparticles?
what king of growth are you checking .?
Renato
What fields keep nano created devices from performing or assimulating ? Magnetic fields ? Are do they assimilate ?
why we need to study biomolecules, molecular biology in nanotechnology?
?
Kyle
yes I'm doing my masters in nanotechnology, we are being studying all these domains as well..
why?
what school?
Kyle
biomolecules are e building blocks of every organics and inorganic materials.

Do somebody tell me a best nano engineering book for beginners?
there is no specific books for beginners but there is book called principle of nanotechnology
NANO
what is fullerene does it is used to make bukky balls
are you nano engineer ?
s.
fullerene is a bucky ball aka Carbon 60 molecule. It was name by the architect Fuller. He design the geodesic dome. it resembles a soccer ball.
Tarell
what is the actual application of fullerenes nowadays?
Damian
That is a great question Damian. best way to answer that question is to Google it. there are hundreds of applications for buck minister fullerenes, from medical to aerospace. you can also find plenty of research papers that will give you great detail on the potential applications of fullerenes.
Tarell
what is the Synthesis, properties,and applications of carbon nano chemistry
Mostly, they use nano carbon for electronics and for materials to be strengthened.
Virgil
is Bucky paper clear?
CYNTHIA
carbon nanotubes has various application in fuel cells membrane, current research on cancer drug,and in electronics MEMS and NEMS etc
NANO
so some one know about replacing silicon atom with phosphorous in semiconductors device?
Yeah, it is a pain to say the least. You basically have to heat the substarte up to around 1000 degrees celcius then pass phosphene gas over top of it, which is explosive and toxic by the way, under very low pressure.
Harper
Do you know which machine is used to that process?
