The mole can be seen as a unit
that can bridge extremely small
values (micro-values) and
extremely large values (macro-
values).

How is mole used to convert

mass to number of particles and
the other way around?
 Learning Competency

At the end of this lesson, the given DepEd learning

competency should be met by the students.

Use the mole concept to express mass of

substances (S9MT-IIi-19).
 Learning Objectives

At the end of this lesson, the learner should be able to

do the following:

● Solve problems involving calculations of mass to

number of particles and vice versa.
● Use mole ratios to solve stoichiometric problems
involving a chemical equation.

Interconversion between Mass and Number of

Particles
● Molar mass is used in the calculation involving mass and
mole
● Avogadro’s number is used in the calculation involving
mole and number of particles.

Interconversion between Mass and Number of

Particles
● Mole is a unit that bridges the macro world (masses) and
the micro world (number of particles).
● To convert mass to number of particles or vice versa, always
convert to moles first.

One of the main components of black pepper is

piperine which has a chemical formula of
C17H19NO3. How many molecules are there in
20.55 grams of piperine?

Molar masses:
H = 1.008 g/mol O = 16.00 g/mol
C = 12.01 g/mol N = 14.01 g/mol

Mole Relationship between Substances in a

Chemical Reaction
● A given measurement of one substance (sample A) can be
converted to another measure of another substance (sample
B) using mole ratio.

The combustion of propane , which is the

reaction with oxygen gas, produces carbon
dioxide and water. Write the balanced chemical
equation in the said reaction. If there are 1.29 ✕
1024 molecules of C3H8, how many grams of
carbon dioxide are produced?

There are 283 grams of CO2 produced in the combustion of

1.29 ✕ 1024 molecules of C3H8.
Key Points

● Molar mass is used in the calculation involving mass and

mole while Avogadro’s number is used in the calculation
involving mole and number of particles.
● A mole is a unit that bridges the macro world (masses) and
the micro world (number of particles). To convert mass to
number of particles or vice-versa, always convert to moles
first.
Key Points

● The mole ratio is used to interconvert two different

chemical entities belonging in the same reaction. The
stoichiometric equivalences can be determined from the
balanced chemical equation.
 Check Your Understanding

Identify if the statement is true or false.

1. Avogadro’s number is useful in converting moles and the
number of particles.
2. The molar mass of a particular atom can be used in directly
converting the number of particles to atomic mass.
3. In the reaction, A + 2B ➝ AB2, 2 moles of B is
stoichiometrically equivalent to 1 mole of AB2.
