Unit 2 lec 3 The Mole Name:__________________________Period:___

Quick Review Questions:

1. Convert 450 meters to miles (given 1.0 km= 1000m, 1.61km = 1.0 mile)

Introduction to the Mole:

• You will measure a mole of several elements.
• Find the mass of each element using the scale. Find the mass in the container and then subtract
the mass of the container.
• Using your periodic table record the symbol, atomic number, and mass for each sample.

atoms  moles - use avogadro’s # (6.02 x 1023)

If atoms is given and you want to get moles: If moles is given and you want to get atoms

Ex 1: How many moles of Magnesium are in 1.25 x 10 23 atoms?

Ex 2: How many atoms of C are in 2.0 moles?

Molar Mass

Mass (g)  moles (mol)

If grams is given and you want to get moles: If moles is given and you want to get
grams

Ex 1: How many moles are in 92.2 grams of Fe?

Ex 2: What is the mass of 9.45 mol of Al?
