Title – Relative Atomic Mass

What is relative mass?

Q10 was - What is the mass number?• Mass number = protons + neutrons

C12

6 If I wanted to react C with O2,could I measure

out the 12 particles

in carbon and 16in oxygen?

Why?m2No, too small to measure!

• We need to be able to measure out amounts to react together, cannot use real masses (too small) so use a relative mass

What is relative mass?

RAM (Ar) – compares the masses of atoms on a scale where carbon is 12 units

Relative atomic mass = 12 (Used as standard)C

m3

• The lightest atom is hydrogen. It has one twelfth the mass of carbon and so has a RAM of 1.

• Magnesium is twice as heavy as carbon. It has a RAM of 24.

What is relative mass?

Mass can be in grams, kg, Te whatever! m3

Relative Atomic Mass

• The Table shows the mass of various atoms relative to carbon.

• Calculate their relative atomic mass.

Activity

• What is the point of having mass number and relative atomic mass. They both tells us how heavy atoms are!!!

What is relative mass?Element RAM (Ar) Mass Number

H 1 1

He 4 4

C 12 12

What about these elements? What do you notice?

Can you have a mass number that is not a

whole number?You can’t have fractions of neutrons and protonsm2

ISOTOPESISOTOPES

We also have different versions of the same

element’s atoms

WE CALL THEM

• RAM takes account of isotopes

Isotopes: Chlorine• About 75% of natural chlorine is 35Cl the rest is 37Cl.

Isotopes of Oxygen

• Almost all of natural oxygen is 16O but about 0.2% is 18O.

• Produce a Table showing the particles in each isotope.

Activity

• Isotopes have very similar chemical reactions (same number of protons and electrons.)

• The neutrons only affect physical properties (melting point and density.)

What’s an isotope?

• Draw the electronic structure of carbon 12 and carbon 14

• Say how many protons, neutron• Draw up a table of similar

properties and differences

A neutron walks into a bar."I'd like a beer" he says.

The bartender promptly serves up a beer.How much will that be?" asks the neutron.

"For you?" replies the bartender, "no charge."

Title – Relative Formula Mass (Mr)

• If you have the Ar of elements, you can work out the relative mass of any molecule, you just need the formula

What is relative mass?

• Carbon dioxide is ___• How many atoms C = _• How many atoms O = _• RAM of C = __• RAM of = __

CO2

CO2 = (1 x 12) + (2 x 16) = 44 = Mr

• Work out the relative formula mass for sodium chloride

What is relative mass?

• Sodium Chloride is ___• How many atoms Na = _• How many atoms Cl = _• RAM of Na = __• RAM of Cl = __

NaCl

• Work out the relative formula masses ofRAMs Covalent/Ionic

1. Water H = 1, O = 162. H2S H = 1, S = 32

3. Propene C = 12, H = 14. Al2(SO4)3

1/ H2O = (2 x 1) + (1 x 16) = 18 = Mr

2/ H2S = (2 x 1) + (1 x 32) = 34 = Mr

3/ C3H6 = (3 x 12) + (1 x 6) = 42 = Mr

m8 4/ Al2(SO4)3 = (2 x 27) + (3 x 32) + (12 x 16) = 342 = Mr

Title – Moles• Writing relative atomic mass in grams or

relative formula mass in grams is clumsy

• Use a shorthand

What’s a mole?

• A mole is just a number, like a dozen, BUT a lot bigger 6 x 1023

• It’s the number of atoms in the Ar or Mr of a

chemical

m1

• One mole is the RAM or Mr of a substance in grams

What’s a mole?

Mol = Molekulargewicht(German!!)

However, he is Italian

Number of moles = Mass of substance (g) of substance Mass of 1 mole (g/mol)

• Zinc oxide is heated with carbon in a furnace to make zinc and carbon monoxide. How many moles of zinc and carbon are used?

• Write out equation

What’s a mole?

ZnO + C Zn + CO

• One mole is the RAM or Mr of a substance in grams

Mr’s are = 81g + 12g 65g + 18g

• These are all the same number of moles ie 1!!

m5So 1 mole Zn and also 1 mole of C

1. Ca is reacted with chlorine. How many moles of calcium chloride are made?

2. AgNO3 + MgCl2 2AgCl + Mg(NO3)2

How many moles of silver chloride and magnesium nitrate are made?

What have I learnt?

1. Ca + Cl2 CaCl2 1 mol + 1 mol 1 mol

2. AgNO3 + MgCl2 2AgCl + Mg(NO3)2

1 mol + 1 mol 2 mol + 1 mol

m2

What’s a mole?Number of moles = Mass of substance (g) of substance Mass of 1 mole (g/mol)

• Calculate the number of moles of carbon in 36g of the element

Number of moles = Mass of substance (g) = 36g = 3 mol of substance Mass of 1 mole (g/mol) 12g/mol

• Calculate the number of moles of carbon dioxide in 33g of the gas

Number of moles = Mass of substance (g) = 33g = 0.75mol of substance Mass of 1 mole (g/mol) 44g/mol

What have I learnt?

• Lets look at Chlorine. It exists as 2 isotopes

• Isotopes• Write down to number of

protons, neutrons and electrons for the 2 isotopes of chlorine

3517 Cl and 37

17 Cl

What is relative mass?

• 3717 Cl has 2 more neutrons

• Cl gas is 75% Cl-35 and 25% Cl-37• So in 100 atoms of Cl, 75 are Cl-35 and 25 are Cl-37• Work out the mass in 100 atoms (relate to H)

m1

• (75atoms x 35g) + (25atoms x 37g) = 3550g• So the average mass is 3550 divide 100 =

35.5g

What is relative mass?

• RAM takes account of isotopes
