Atoms and Molecules (October 30,2009)

We had a 45min block, but was still able to cover the lesson plan! :)

For monoatomic (one atom) elements
-->a molecule = an element
ex. Ne = Ne
Diatomic elements:
Molecule-------Element
Cl2--------------Cl
Molecules of Compounds ---> Molecule
H-O-H -------H2O-----------2 'H' atoms in 1 molecule; 1 'O' atom in 1 molecule

EXAMPLES
1. Write Ammonium Carbonate (NH4)2CO3
N:2---------H:8----------C:1--------O:3
Moles <---> Molecules
6.02x10^23moles/1mol -------- 1mol/6.02x10^23

2. How many moles are in 0.25 mol of Co2?
0.25mol x 6.02x10^23/1mol = 1.505 x 10^23molec

3. 5.1772 x 10^24molecules of H2O = ? moles
5.1772 x 10^24molecules (1mol/6.02 x 10^23 molecules) = 8.6 mol

4. Find the number of 'H' atoms in 4.0 mol of ammonia (NH3)
moles---->molecules---->H atoms
4.0mol x 6.02 x 10^23/1mol = 2.41 x 10^24molecules x 3= 7.22 x 10^24 'H' atoms

  1. Hey guys,

    Glad to see you are keeping updated with the blog posts. Excellent work. Make sure you do one for the summary of the Molar Volume Lab. And again, try and create your own examples rather than just using the ones we do in class.
