 A mole is a measure of amount of matter. It has a numerical value, just like the word dozen =
Chemistry
23
12; a mole = 6.022 x 10 particles, quite a big number (called Avogadro’s number) –here’s
an indication how big:
 If the whole population of the Earth (≈ 6.5 billion people) were to eat 100 M&Ms
every second it would take a mere 29 000 years!

Using Avogadro’s Number


1. Calculate the number of moles 2. Calculate the mass of substance 3. Calculate the relative molecular
present in each of the following present in the following cases: mass of the following substances
cases: and suggest a possible identity of
each substance:

a) 2.3 g of Na a) 0.05 moles of Cl2 a) 0.015 moles, 0.42 g


b) 2.5 g of O2 b) 0.125 moles of KBr b) 0.0125 moles, 0.50 g
c) 240 kg of CO2 c) 0.075 moles of Ca(OH)2 c) 0.55 moles, 88 g
d) 12.5 g of Al(OH)3 d) 250 moles of Fe2O3 d) 2.25 moles, 63 g
e) 5.2 g of PbO2 e) 0.02 moles of Al2(SO4)3 e) 0.00125 moles, 0.312 g

4. Calculate the number of particles in the following substances:

a) 0.025 moles b) 2.5 g of CO2 c) 5.0 g of Pb d) 100 g of N2

5. Calculate the mass of the following substances:


23
a) 2.5 x 10 molecules of N2
24
b) 1.5 x 10 molecules of CO2
20
c) 2 x 10 atoms of Mg

Reacting Masses
6. Calculate the mass of H2O required to react completely with 5.0 g of SiCl4:
SiCl4 + 2H2O  SiO2 + 4HCl

7. Calculate the mass of phosphorus required to make 200 g of phosphine, PH 3, by the reaction:
P4(s) + 3NaOH(aq) +3H2O(l)  3NaH2PO4(aq) + PH3(g)

8. Lead (IV) oxide reacts with concentrated hydrochloric acid as follows:


PbO2(s) + 4HCl(aq)  PbCl2(s) + Cl2(g) + 2H2O(l)
What mass of lead chloride would be obtained from 37.2g of PbO 2, and what mass of chlorine gas would be
produced?

9. When copper (II) nitrate is heated, it decomposes according to the following equation:
2Cu(NO3)2(s)  2CuO(s) + 4NO2(g) + O2(g).
When 20.0g of copper (II) nitrate is heated, what mass of copper (II) oxide would be produced? What mass of
NO2 would be produced?

10. A blast furnace can produce about 700 tonnes of iron a day. How much iron (III) oxide will be consumed?
Assuming coke is pure carbon, how much coke would be needed to produce the necessary carbon monoxide?
Fe2O3(s) + 3CO(g)  2Fe(l) + 3CO2(g)
2C(s) + O2(g) 2CO(g)
