Counting units

A counting term states a specific number of items.

1 dozen eggs = 12 eggs

1 case soda = 24 cans

1 ream = 500 sheets of paper

Avogadro's Number

Small particles such as atoms, formula units, molecules, and ions are counted using the mole.

1 mole = 6.022 x 1023 items

Avogadro’s number

602 200 000 000 000 000 000 000 = 6.022 x 1023

Mole of Atoms

1 mole of an element = 6.022 x 1023 atoms of that element

Number of Particles in One-Mole Samples

Avogadro's Number

Avogadro’s number, 6.022 x 1023, can be written as an

equality and as two conversion factors.

Equality:

1 mole = 6.022 x 1023 particles

That means we can use the following Conversion Factors as needed:

Law of Conservation of Mass

The law of conservation of mass indicates that in an

ordinary chemical reaction,

• matter cannot be created or destroyed

• no change in total mass occurs

• the mass of products is equal to mass of reactants

Conservation of Mass

Matter cannot be created or

destroyed, therefore the mass of

products is equal to mass of reactants

Determine the mass (g) of NH3 that can be produced from 32 grams of N2. N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g)

Hint: In this case, question and data refers to grams (instead of moles)

therefore the moles need to be converted to grams !!!!

Converting from Moles to Grams

Determine the mass (g) of NH3 that can be produced from 32 grams of N2. N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g)

N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g)

Converting to grams:

1 mole N2(g) + 3 moles H2(g) 2 moles NH3(g)

28.02g N2(g) + 6.048g H2(g) 34.068g NH3(g)

Therefore:

grams of NH3 = 32 grams of N2 x 34.068 grams of NH3

28.02 grams of N2

grams of NH3 = 38.9071 g = 39 g of NH3

relationship for the above given chemical equation

Solution

4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) 2Fe2O3(s)

4 moles Fe(s) + 3 moles O2(g) 2 moles Fe2O3(s)

Therefore: grams of O2 = 45.8 grams Fe2O3 x 96.00 grams O2

319.4 grams Fe2O3

grams of O2 = 13.7658g

grams of O2 = 13.8g O2 (the correct answer is B)

Exothermic

Reaction Rate

The reaction rate is the speed at which reactant is used up

The reaction rate is the speed at which product forms

The reaction rate

• increases when temperature rises because reacting molecules move

faster, providing more colliding molecules with energy of activation

• increases when agitation is used (if reactants are solids or liquids)

because reacting molecules move faster (more collisions)

• increases with increase in concentration of reactants

• increases when a catalyst is used (catalysts are chemical compounds

that lowers the energy of activation, therefore facilitating the

formation of product molecules (reaction products are formed faster)

Catalyst

A catalyst

• increases the rate of a reaction

• lowers the energy of activation

• is not used up during the reaction

Factors That Increase Reaction Rate

Use agitation More collisions

among molecules

Learning Check
