THE MOLE
INTRODUCTION
This Powerpoint show is one of several produced to help students understand
selected topics at AS and A2 level Chemistry. It is based on the requirements of
the AQA and OCR specifications but is suitable for other examination boards.
Individual students may use the material at home for revision purposes or it
may be used for classroom teaching if an interactive white board is available.
Accompanying notes on this, and the full range of AS and A2 topics, are
available from the KNOCKHARDY SCIENCE WEBSITE at...
www.knockhardy.org.uk/sci.htm
Navigation is achieved by using the left and right arrow keys on the keyboard
THE MOLE
CONTENTS
What is a mole and why do we use it?

Before you start it would be helpful to
DONT BE

THE MOLE
WHAT IS A MOLE ?
it is the standard unit of amount of a substance -
it is just a number, a very big number
it is a way of saying a number in words, just like...

HOW BIG IS IT ?
602200000000000000000000 (Approximately)... THATS BIG !!!
It is a lot easier to write it as... 6.022 x 1023

HOW BIG IS IT ?
602200000000000000000000 (Approximately)... THATS BIG !!!
It is a lot easier to write it as... 6.022 x 1023
It is also known as... AVOGADROS NUMBER
It doesnt matter what the number is as long as everybody sticks to the same value !
THE MOLE
WHY USE IT ?
Using moles tells you... how many particles you get in a certain mass
the mass of a certain number of particles
AND Keep trying, you will get the idea ... EVENTUALLY!
THE MOLE AN OVERVIEW
Using moles tells you :- how many particles you get in a certain mass
the mass of a certain number of particles
THE MOLE
CALCULATING THE NUMBER OF MOLES OF A SINGLE SUBSTANCE
MOLES = MASS
MOLAR MASS MASS
MOLES x MOLAR
moles = mass / molar mass MASS
mass = moles x molar mass
COVER UP THE VALUE YOU
molar mass = mass / moles WANT AND THE METHOD
OF CALCULATION IS
REVEALED
UNITS
mass g or kg
molar mass g mol-1 or kg mol-1
MOLES OF A SINGLE SUBSTANCE

6. What mass of HCl will react with 1 mole of CaCO3 ? 2 x 36.5g = 73g
4. How many moles of HCl are in 20cm3 of 0.1M HCl? 0.1 x 20 = 0.002 moles
1000
6. What is the mass of 0.001 moles of CaCO3? mass = moles x molar mass
= 0.001 x 100 = 0.1 g
1000

Dissolve 1g of solute in 250cm 3
WRONG 1g
Dissolve 1g of solute in 250cm 3
WATER WATER
RIGHT
Dissolve 1g of solute in water
1g
and then add enough water to 250cm3
make 250cm3 of solution
STANDARD SOLUTION
ONE WHOSE CONCENTRATION IS KNOWN ACCURATELY
no. of moles in 1000cm3 (1dm3) = 4 x 0.04 = 0.16 mol ANS. 0.16 mol dm-3
STANDARD SOLUTION
How to work out how much to weigh out
ANS. The chemist will have to weigh out 2.650g, dissolve it in water
and then make the solution up to 250cm3 in a graduated flask.

VOLUMETRIC CALCULATIONS
Calculate the concentration of a solution of sodium hydroxide if 20cm3 is
neutralised by 25cm3 of hydrochloric acid of concentration 0.100 mol dm-3.
VOLUMETRIC CALCULATIONS
Calculate the concentration of a solution of sodium hydroxide if 20cm3 is
neutralised by 25cm3 of hydrochloric acid of concentration 0.100 mol dm-3.
2. Get a molar relationship between the reactants moles of NaOH = moles of HCl
you need ONE NaOH for every ONE HCl
