  1. The Mole and Avogadro's Constant Chemistry (IGCSE / O-Level)
  2. What will you learn in this lesson? • The mole and Avogadro's Constant • Calculations involving mole and mass of substance • Empirical Formulae of giant structures • Empirical and Molecular Formulae of simple covalent molecules
  3. The mole —the chemical counting unit Chemists count atoms and molecules by weighing them. The standard unit of the amount of substance is taken as the relative molecular (or formula) mass of the substance in grams. The unit is called 1 mole (shorthand or symbol 'mol') of the substance The mass of 1 mol of substance is called molar mass of the substance

  12. Empirical Formulae of Giant Structures (contd.) A sample of silicon(lV) oxide is found to contain 47% by mass of silicon. How can we find its empirical formulae? percentage by mass 47% mass in ICOg molar mass number of moles simplest ratio Formula 47 g 28 g/mol 1.68 mol o 100 - 47 - 53 g 16 g/mol 3.31 mol 2
  13. Empirical and Molecular Formulae of Simple Covalent Molecules Not all structures are giant structures. For covalently bonded lattice molecules, both empirical and molecular formula are needed. Molecular formula can be found using relative molecular mass The method is similar to previous methods of finding empirical formula but the relative molecular mass of the substance is used to compare with relative molecular mass of the empirical formula of that substance
  14. Empirical and Molecular Formulae of Simple Covalent Molecules (contd.) Phosphorus burns in air to produce white clouds of phosphorus oxide. From experiments, it is found that oxide contains 44% of phosphorus percentage by mass in 100 g molar mass number of simplest ratio Formula 44 g 31 g,'mol zoo - 44 = 56 9 16 *'moa p20 It is found experimentally the relative molecular mass is 284. So, comparing with the empirical formula mass of P205 i.e. 142. The molecular formula of the molecule will be (P205)2 or P4010
