Stoichiometry: Avogadro’s number and molecular

calculations
Question 1: Atoms and molecules are way too small to be seen, even with a microscope, so how
can we count how many there are?
✓ You count them by mass
– You count them using an electron microscope
– You can't count atoms and molecules
– You count them by volume

Question 2: In which of the pictures do you find the most particles? By particles I mean, sand
grains, water molecules and iron atoms.
✓ There are roughly the same amount of particles on each picture
– In the iron bolt! It is quite heavy, and iron atoms are very small
– In the water glass! A shot of water isn't very large, but water molecules are super tiny
– In the Sahara desert! The desert is huge, and sand grains are small

Question 3: Let´s put this knowledge to the test! How many atoms are in 14 moles of cadmium?

Remember that 1 mole would contain 6.02214 times ten to the twenty third6.02214 x 1023 atoms of
cadmium.
✓ 8.4 times ten to the twenty fourth8.4 x 1024 atoms of cadmium
– 42.6 times ten to the twenty two42.6 x 1022 atoms of cadmium
– 4.2 times ten to the twenty third4.2 x 1023 atoms of cadmium
– 84.3 times ten to the twenty fourth84.3 x 1024 atoms of cadmium

Question 4: Based on the relationships between molar mass, moles, and mass of the substance,
how many moles are in 40.0 grams of water?

Molar mass of water is equal to 18.1 g/molgram per mole.

✓ 2.21 moles
– 4.42 moles
– 3.45 moles
– 2.53 moles

Question 5: How much would 3.7 moles of Na2Osodium oxide weigh in grams?

The molar mass of Na2Osodium oxide is 62 g/molgram per mole.

✓ 229.4 grams
– 57.5 grams
– 116 grams
– 462.7 grams
