What is a Mole?
• A term of measurement• A counting number–Similar to saying 1 dozen = 12 things
• Avogadro's Number (NA) 6.02 x 1023 items
A VERY LARGE NUMBER!!!
= 1 mole
• 3.00 moles of little green peas would cover 250 planets the size of Earth 1m deep in green peas
• 1.00 mole of basketballs would fill a bag the size of the Earth

Molar Mass• Molar mass is the mass of one mole in an
element or compound• Atomic mass tells us that the units are
grams per mole g/molExamples:Carbon, C = 12.01 g/molPhosphorus, P = 30.97 g/mol
Molar Mass ExamplesWhat is the Molar Mass of:Salt, NaCl:Na = 22.99g/mol Cl = 35.45g/mol NaCl = 22.99g/mol + 35.45g/mol = 58.44g/mol
Glucose, C6H12O6:C6 = 6(12.01g/mol) H12 = 12(1.01g/mol) O6 = 6(16.00g/mol)
C6H12O6 = 6(12.01g/mol) +12(1.01g/mol) 6(16.00g/mol)
= 180.18 g/mol
Sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3:Na= 22.99g/mol H=1.01g/molC=12.01g/molO = 3(16.00g/mol)
NaHCO3= 22.99g/mol + 1.01g/mol + 12.01g/mol + 3(16.00g/mol)= 84.01g/mol
Mole Conversion ExamplesA grade eleven chemistry student has 3.00 g of boron tribromide (BBr3). How many moles of BBr3 is this?
Molar mass of BBr3 = 10.81 + 3(79.90) = 250.51g/mol
3.00g BBr3 x 1mole = 0.0120 mole BBr3
250.51g
REMEMBER SIG FIGS!
If I have 50.0g of calcium chlorate (CaClO3)2 how many moles do I have?
Molar Mass (CaClO3)2 = 2(40.08) + 2(35.45) + 6(16.00) = 247.06 g/mol
50.0g (CaClO3)2 x 1 mole = 0.202 mole (CaClO3)2
247.06g

Determine the mass of the following amount:
6.94 mol barium chloride (BaCl2)
Molar Mass BaCl2 = 137.33 + 2(35.45) = 208.23 g/mol
6.94 mol BaCl2 x 208.23 g = 1.45 x 103 g BaCl2
