CHEM 003A Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Molar Mass, Chemical Formula, Unified Atomic Mass Unit

54 views2 pages

Document Summary

Atoms are extremely small, so chemists came up with a unit of measurement that would make it more easier to measure their existence. Therefore both 1 mole of atoms and 1 mole of molecules = 6. 022 x 10^23. One can read the periodic table in two different ways, depending on whether one is looking for atomic mass units (amu) or moles. For example: 1 c atom = 12. 011 amu. 1 c atom = 12. 011 g/mol (molar mass) To nd the molar mass of a compound, add up the molar masses of all of the elements in that compound. Each element in a molar mass compound composes a certain percentage of the molar mass of that compound. Find the total molar mass of the compound. Divide the total molar mass by the mass of the element whose percentage you would like to.
