Some handy relationships for substance Z below:
You can collect the gases in a calibrated gas syringe.
The gas is collected in a measuring cylinder filled with water and inverted over a trough of water.Methods of measuring how much gas is formed
A third method is to measure the gas loss by carrying out the reaction in a flask set up on an accurate one-pan electronic balance.The theoretical basis is explained in section (b).
The mole is most simply expressed as the relative 'formula mass in g' or the 'molecular mass in g' of the defined chemical 'species', and that is how it is used in most chemical calculations. The mass of one mole of a substance is sometimes referred to as the molar mass.The atomic/formula mass in grams = one mole of the defined substance.If your are dealing with individual atoms, one mole of equals the relative atomic mass in grams.This can be expressed as a simple formula ...
mass of species in g = moles species x atomic/formula mass of speciestherefore (using triangle on right if necessary)
Note these equations are for either an element or a compound,but, whatever, you must clearly define the chemical species you mean for any mole calculation e.g.Al metal element atom, H2O covalent molecule, an element O2 molecule, Na+Cl- ionic compound or just any compound formula like CuSO4 etc. etc.This specificity cannot be overemphasised.
Using the following atomic masses: H = 1, O = 16, N = 14, C = 12, Na = 23, Cl = 35.5, S = 32and the three formulae above relating moles, mass and formula mass ...molecular mass 18 for the water molecule H2O, 17 for the ammonia molecule NH3so 1 mole of water is 18g, 0.333 mole = 0.333 x 18 = 6gfor ammonia 1mol = 17g, 34g = 34/17 = 2 mols ammonia
so 0.5 mol methane = 0.5 x 16 8g, 72g = 72/16 = 4.5 mols methanefor glucose 18g = 18/180 = 0.10 moles, 0.05 mole = 0.05 x 180 = 9.0g glucose
e.g. mass of 1 mole of ionic sodium chloride NaCl or Na+Cl- is 58.5g (from 23 + 35.5)mass of 1 mole of ammonium sulfate (ionic salt) (NH4)2SO4 or (NH4+)2(SO42-) = 130g
Do not confuse with molecular formula which depicts the actual total numbers of each atom in a molecule.Examples where molecular formula = empirical formula
The molecular formula and empirical formula can be different or the same.
They are the same if the molecular formula cannot be simplified on a whole number basis.
e.g. for sodium sulfate Na2SO4 and propane C3H8Examples of where molecular formula and empirical formula are different e.g.
You cannot simplify the atomic ratios 2 : 1 : 4 or 3 : 8 to smaller whole number (integer) ratios
butane molecular formula C4H10, empirical formula C2H5
numerically, the empirical formula of butane is 'half' of its molecular formulaglucose molecular formula C6H12O6, empirical formula CH2O
4 : 10 ==> 2 : 5
numerically, the empirical formula of glucose is '1/6th' of the full molecular formula
6 : 12 : 6 ==> 1 : 2 : 1
