Mole practical

Complete the following table:

Compound Molar mass Grams for 1 Grams for Grams for Grams for
mole 0.5 moles 0.1 moles 0.05 moles
Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)
Copper sulphide (CuS)
Sodium chloride (NaCl)
Calcium chloride (CaCl2)
Potassium dichromate
(K2Cr2O7)
Cobalt(II) chloride (CoCl2)
Copper (II) nitrate (Cu(NO3)2)
using the table above, weight out 0.05 moles of each substance, label each one and take a photo for
comparison.

Does the amount of 0.05 moles of each substance look the same? Why/why not?

Why did we not measure out 1 mole of each of these compounds?

Calculate the following for water:

a. Molar mass:

b. Grams for 1 mole:

c. Grams for 0.5 moles:

d. Grams for 0.1 moles:

e. Grams for 0.05 moles:

How do these measurements differ to the compounds within the table? Are they bigger or smaller?

If you drank 2L of water, how many moles of water would you consumed?
