Mole Concept

What I Need to Know

This module will lead you in the world of Chemists who measures out a
chemical substance by weighing them since particles of substances are too small to
count individually to form the desired quantity of a new product. Excited to know how
scientist count the number of particles present in a certain substance?
This module will help you understand how to quantity in the microscopic level.
However, if you have any queries about the activities, you can contact your
science teacher or you may ask Mr. google to guide you.
Here are the activities for you:
Activity 1: What’s in the Number?
Activity 2: Avogadro’s Life
Activity 3: Avogadro’s Number
Activity 4: Molar Mass
Activity 5: Mass of Mole in a Substance
Activity 6: Mole Map
Activity 7: Happy Mole’s Day
Activity 8: A Chemist’s Mole

As you go through this module, you will be able to use the mole concept to
express the mass of substances(S9MT-Iii-19)

In real life situations, pieces of matter are quantified by finding the mass or by
counting. Market vendors for example, would rather sell mongo seeds by getting the
mass and salted eggs by counting. The choice of quantifying goods is determined by
convenience. It is easier to get the mass of rice grains rather than count the grains. It
is more convenient to count the number of eggs rather than get their mass. To
measure these quantities, mass units such as kilogram or gram, or counting units such
as dozen or case are being used. As you go through this module, you will surely learn
to love what and where we can use the mole concept.

Activity # 2: Avogadro’s Life

Lived 1776 – 1856.

Amedeo Avogadro was born in Turin, Italy, on August 9th, 1776.
His family background was aristocratic. His father, Filippo, was a
magistrate and senator who had the title of Count. His mother was
a noblewoman, Anna Vercellone of Biella. Amedeo Avogadro inherited the title of Count from
his father. In fact, Amedeo Avogadro’s full name was Count Lorenzo Romano Amedeo Carlo
Avogadro di Quaregna e di Cerreto – quite a mouthful! Mathematics and physics in particular
attracted his logical mind. He spent increasing amounts of time studying these subjects. He
was helped in this by the prominent mathematical physicist Professor Vassalli Eandi
Avogadro was a lawyer who became interested in mathematics and physics, and in 1820 he
became the first professor of physics in Italy. Avogadro is most famous for his hypothesis that
equal volumes of different gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same
number of particles.

French physicist Jean Baptiste Perrin used the term Avogadro's number for
the first time while explaining Brownian motion. The value of Avogadro's number was
obtained by dividing the charge of a mole of electrons by the charge of a single electron
which is equal to 6.02 x 1023 particles per mole.

Guide Questions:
1. What hypothesis was Avogadro famous for?
2. How was the Avogadro’s number obtained?
3. Jean Baptiste Perrin used the term Avogadro’s number while explaining
Brownian motion. What is the value of Avogadro’s number?
So let us now use Avogadro’s idea about the value of the atom. Use your
knowledge in answering the next activity. Score: _______ /15
Activity # 3: Avogadro’s Number
Directions: Determine the number of molecules and number of moles in the given
problem. Here are some examples on how to calculate it.
EXAMPLE: How many molecules of water are there in 3.00 moles of water?

# molecules H20 = 3.00 moles H20 x 6.02 x 1023 molecules of H20 = 1.81 x 1024 molecules H20
1 mole H20

2
 EXAMPLE: How many moles of neon are there in 2.408 x 1024 atoms of neon?
# moles Ne = 2.408 x 1024 atoms Ne x 1 mole Ne = 4.00 moles Ne
6.02 x 1023 atoms of Ne
How many molecules are there in:
1. 2.00 moles of ammonia
2. 0.50 moles chlorine
3. 0.250 moles oxygen
How many moles are there in:
4. 3.01 x 1023 molecules of freon
5. 1.806 x 1024 molecules of bromine
Were you able to get the correct answer? Now that you already know how to
use 1 mole= 6.02x1023 particles as a conversion factor, let us move on to the next
activity.

 What is It
You have just experienced how chemists determine the number of particles by
getting the mass. It is impossible to count the number of atoms present in a gold bar
or the number of molecules present in a glass of water but by knowing their masses,
computations can be done which will eventually their masses, computations can be
done which will eventually give the number of particles with the use of a number called
Avogadro’s number.
Avogadro’s number is the number of particles in one mole of a substance. It is
a very large number equal to 6.02 x 1023 particles. So, a mole(mol) of a substance is
6.02x1023 representative particles of that substance. The representative particles can
be atoms, molecules or formula units. So, one mole of carbon-12 contains 6.02x1023
atoms for elements molecules for covalent compounds, or formula units for ionic
compounds. So, one mole of carbon contains 6.02x1023 atoms, one mole of water
contains 6.02x1023 water molecules and a mole of sodium chloride (table salt)
contains 6.02x1023 formula units of sodium chloride.
For you to figure out how large Avogadro’s number is, try to imagine this, “ if you put
together 6.02x1023 basketballs, it will be as big as the Earth or if you have 6.02x1023
rice grains, it would cover the land masses of the Earth to a depth of 75 meters.” Now
that you have realized how big Avogadro’s number is, let us try to visualize the number
of particles in a given sample.
Example:
How many molecules are there in 4.0 moles of CO2?
To answer this question, you have to consider this:
1 mole= 6.02x1023 particles
Thus, using dimensional analysis approach, you will be able to convert the
number of moles to its equivalent amount in the number of particles.
4.0 moles CO2 X 6.02 x 1023 molecules CO2 = 2.41 x 1024 molecules CO2
1 mole CO2
Moles and Molar Mass
The mole is the “counting unit” used by chemists to indicate the number of
atoms, ions, molecules or formula units present in a particular chemical sample. The
mole is similar to other counting units that you’ve used before….. Pair(2), dozen(12),
and gross(144). One mole of a compound contains Avogadro’s number(6.02x1023) of
molecules (molecular compound) or formula units (ionic compound). The molar mass
of a compound tells you the mass of 1 mole of that substance. In other words, it tells
you the number of grams per mole of a compound. The units for molar mass are,
therefore, gram/mole.
To find the molar mass
1. Use the chemical formula to determine the number of each type of atom
present in the compound
2. Multiply the atomic weight (from the periodic table) of each element by the
number of atoms of that element present in the compound.
3. Add it all together and put units of gram/mole after the number.
Example 1: Find the molar mass of sodium carbonate, Na2CO3.
Na 2 x 23.0 = 46.0
C 1 x 12.0 = 12.0
O 3 x 16.0 = 48.0
Molar mass = 106.0 g/mole

4
Example 2: What is the molar mass of calcium nitrate, Ca(NO 3)2?
Ca 1 x 40.1 = 40.1
N 2 x 14.0 = 28.0
O 6 x 16.0 = 96.0
Molar Mass = 164.1 g/mole
To make sure that you clearly understand the concepts about mole. Here is an
experiment for you.

Activity# 7: Happy Mole’s Day!!!

Many other substances adopt their own unique properties due to arrangement
of electrons. The propane gas that we use to fuel a gas grill is a gas at room
temperature because the molecules are weakly attracted to each other. Unlike water,
they don’t really want to be next to each other at all. Consequently, the space between
them results in a gaseous state. Another important gas is oxygen. We need oxygen to
live out our lives. Close your eyes and take a deep breath. As you do that, the
molecules are whizzing through your nose, into your lungs where about 0.001 moles
of oxygen are absorbed into your blood. Those molecules are responsible for helping
each cell in your body produce energy so that your eyes can see the words on this
page and your brain can think about what they mean, all while keeping your heart
beating. So, if you ever feel like you’re too insignificant to make a difference, just
remember that even the smallest of things matter in the grand scheme of things.

Question:
No matter how big or small you are in this vast world, how can you be an impact
to society in a way that will be pleasing to the lord?

Mi Ultimo Adios
Adios, Patria adorada, region del sol querida, Deja que el sol ardiendo las lluvias evapore
Perla del Mar de Oriente, nuestro perdido Eden! Y al cielo tornen puras con mi clamor en pos,
A darte voy alegre la triste mustia vida, Deja que un sér amigo mi fin temprano llore
Y fuera más brillante más fresca, más florida, Y en las serenas tardes cuando por mi alguien ore
Tambien por tí la diera, la diera por tu bien.
Ora tambien, Oh Patria, por mi descanso á Dios!
En campos de batalla, luchando con delirio Ora por todos cuantos murieron sin ventura,
Otros te dan sus vidas sin dudas, sin pesar; Por cuantos padecieron tormentos sin igual,
El sitio nada importa, ciprés, laurel ó lirio, Por nuestras pobres madres que gimen su amargura;
Cadalso ó campo abierto, combate ó cruel martirio,Por huérfanos y viudas, por presos en tortura
Lo mismo es si lo piden la patria y el hogar.
Y ora por tí que veas tu redencion final.
Yo muero cuando veo que el cielo se colora Y cuando en noche oscura se envuelva el cementerio
Y al fin anuncia el día trás lóbrego capuz; Y solos sólo muertos queden velando allí,
Si grana necesitas para teñir tu aurora, No turbes su reposo, no turbes el misterio
Vierte la sangre mía, derrámala en buen hora Tal vez acordes oigas de citara ó salterio,
Y dórela un reflejo de su naciente luz.
Soy yo, querida Patria, yo que te canto á ti.

Y sienta yo en mi frente bajo la tumba fría Voy donde no hay esclavos, verdugos ni opresores,
De tu ternura el soplo, de tu hálito el calor. Donde la fé no mata, donde el que reyna es Dios.

Deja á la luna verme con luz tranquila y suave;

Adios, padres y hermanos, trozos del alma mía,
Deja que el alba envíe su resplandor fugaz,
Amigos de la infancia en el perdido hogar,
Deja gemir al viento con su murmullo grave,
Dad gracias que descanso del fatigoso día;
Y si desciende y posa sobre mi cruz un ave
Adios, dulce extrangera, mi amiga, mi alegria,
Deja que el ave entone su cantico de paz.
Adios, queridos séres morir es descansar.
