Convert Moles of a Molecule to Moles of an Atom in the Molecule
Use the ratio of _______________ to the number of the specific atom in
that _______________.

You can think of cookies If you have 1 dozen cookies, each with 8
chocolate chips, how many chocolate chips are there in total?

eg. For one mole C6H12O6:

Moles of C =

Moles of H =

Moles of O =

eg. Aluminum oxide (Al2O3), often called alumina, is the principal raw
material for the production of aluminum. Alumina occurs in the
minerals corundum and bauxite. Determine the moles of aluminum ions
(Al3+) in 1.25 moles of aluminum oxide.

Practice Problems #20-26, page 321 & 322 (includes a review on the molar mass
of compounds)

Mole to Mass Conversion for Compounds
Use the same equation as in section 11.2, but calculate the mass of the
entire compound instead of single atom.

eg. The characteristic odour of garlic is due to the compound allyl sulfide
((C3H5)2S). What is the mass of 2.50 moles of allyl sulfide?

Practice Problems #27-29, page 323

Mass to Mole Conversion for Compounds
eg. Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) is used to remove sulfur dioxide from the
exhaust gases emitted by power plants and for softening water by the
elimination of Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions. Calculate the number of moles of
calcium hydroxide in 325 g.

Practice Problem #30, page 324

Converting Mass to Moles to Particles

Dont forget when converting mass to particles, convert to
_______________ first!

eg. How many hydrogen and oxygen atoms are in a 6.0 gram sample of
water?

6
 eg. Aluminum chloride is used in refining petroleum and manufacturing
rubber and lubricants. A sample of aluminum chloride (AlCl3) has a mass
of 35.6 g.
a. How many aluminum ions are present?

b. How many chloride ions are present?

c. What is the mass in grams of one formula unit of aluminum chloride?

Note: Particle = atom = ion

molecular formula

eg. empirical formula for hydrogen peroxide is __________; the molecular

formula is __________

In both formulas, the ratio of oxygen to hydrogen is _____:_____.

Calculating Empirical Formula

1. Calculate the number of _______________.
eg.

2. Divide each number by the _______________ number of

_______________.
eg.

3. If the answers to step #2 are not all whole numbers, multiply by the
_______________ _______________ that will make all the numbers

eg. (see example below)

4. The numbers that are calculated in #3 are the numbers of each

_______________ in the _______________
eg.

eg. Methyl acetate is a solvent commonly used in some paints, inks, and
adhesives. Determine the empirical formula for methyl acetate,
which has the following chemical analysis: 48.64% carbon, 8.16%
hydrogen, and 43.20% oxygen.
