The Mole and Avogadro's Constant
- Chemical amounts are measured in moles; the unit symbol is mol.
- One mole of any substance contains the same number of stated particles (atoms, molecules, ions or formula units) as one mole of any other substance.
- The number of particles in one mole is the Avogadro constant, which is 6.02 × 10²³ per mole.
- For example, one mole of sodium contains 6.02 × 10²³ sodium atoms, and one mole of hydrogen molecules contains 6.02 × 10²³ hydrogen molecules.
- The mole applies to atoms, molecules, ions, electrons, formulae and equations.
- One mole of carbon contains the same number of atoms as there are molecules in one mole of carbon dioxide.
Molar Mass and Relative Formula Mass
- The relative formula mass (Mr) of a substance is the sum of the relative atomic masses of all the atoms in its formula.
- The mass of one mole of a substance in grams is numerically equal to its relative formula mass; this is called the molar mass.
- For an element, one mole is equal to the relative atomic mass in grams; for a compound, it is the relative formula mass in grams.
- For example, one mole of water has a mass of (2 × 1) + 16 = 18 g.
- The term relative molecular mass can be used for molecular substances, but relative formula mass is used for all compounds, including ionic ones.
Calculating Moles from Mass and Vice Versa
- Use the equation: moles = mass ÷ relative formula mass (or molar mass).
- To find mass from moles, rearrange to: mass = moles × relative formula mass.
- Example: 16.1 g of ethanol (Mr = 46) gives 16.1 ÷ 46 = 0.35 moles.
- Example: 9.6 g of magnesium (Ar = 24) gives 9.6 ÷ 24 = 0.4 moles.
- Example: 0.25 moles of sodium hydrogen carbonate (Mr = 84) has a mass of 0.25 × 84 = 21 g.
- Always show your working; you may still gain credit if the final answer is wrong.
Moles, mass and molar mass

Amounts of Substances in Equations
- Balanced symbol equations show the ratio of moles of reactants and products.
- For example, Mg + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂ shows that 1 mole of magnesium reacts with 2 moles of hydrochloric acid to produce 1 mole of magnesium chloride and 1 mole of hydrogen gas.
- The coefficients in an equation tell you the number of moles of each substance involved.
- To calculate masses from equations: write the balanced equation, calculate moles of the known substance, use the ratio to find moles of the unknown, then convert to mass.
- Example: 2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO. 0.4 moles of Mg produces 0.4 moles of MgO, which has a mass of 0.4 × 40 = 16 g.
- The masses of reactants and products can be calculated from the balanced equation and the mass of a given reactant or product.
Using Moles to Balance Equations
- The balancing numbers in a symbol equation can be found from the masses of reactants and products.
- Convert the masses in grams to amounts in moles by dividing by the relative formula mass.
- Convert the numbers of moles to a simple whole number ratio.
- Example: 15.9 g CuO (Mr = 79.5) = 0.2 mol; 1.2 g C (Ar = 12) = 0.1 mol; 12.7 g Cu (Ar = 63.5) = 0.2 mol; 4.4 g CO₂ (Mr = 44) = 0.1 mol. Ratio 0.2 : 0.1 : 0.2 : 0.1 simplifies to 2 : 1 : 2 : 1, giving 2CuO + C → 2Cu + CO₂.
- If the ratio is not exact, round to the nearest whole number.
Limiting Reactants
- In a reaction with two reactants, one is often in excess to ensure the other is completely used up.
- The reactant that is completely used up first is the limiting reactant; it limits the amount of product formed.
- The amount of product is directly proportional to the amount of limiting reactant.
- To identify the limiting reactant: write the balanced equation, calculate moles of each reactant, then compare the mole ratio.
- An easy method is to divide the moles of each reactant by its coefficient in the equation; the smallest result is the limiting reactant.
- Example: 9.2 g Na (0.4 mol) and 8.0 g S (0.25 mol) react as 2Na + S → Na₂S. 0.4 mol Na needs 0.2 mol S, so S is in excess and Na is limiting.
- When calculating the maximum product, always use the limiting reactant.
Concentration of Solutions
- Concentration is the amount of solute dissolved in a given volume of solvent.
- Concentration can be measured in grams per cubic decimetre (g/dm³) or in moles per cubic decimetre (mol/dm³).
- 1 dm³ = 1000 cm³, and 1 dm³ is the same as 1 litre.
- To convert cm³ to dm³, divide by 1000; to convert dm³ to cm³, multiply by 1000.
- To go from g/dm³ to mol/dm³, divide by the molar mass; to go from mol/dm³ to g/dm³, multiply by the molar mass.
- The formula triangle for concentration, moles and volume can be used: concentration = moles ÷ volume (in dm³).
- Example: 10 g NaOH dissolved in 2 dm³ gives a concentration of 10 ÷ 2 = 5 g/dm³.
- Example: 0.25 moles of NaHCO₃ (Mr = 84) has a mass of 21 g; if dissolved in 1 dm³, the concentration is 21 g/dm³.
Conservation of Mass
- The Law of Conservation of Mass states that no matter is lost or gained during a chemical reaction.
- The total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products, which is why equations must be balanced.
- In a closed system, the total mass before and after a reaction remains constant.
- If a reaction flask is open and a gas escapes, the total mass decreases.
- If the mass of a reaction flask increases, it may be because a gaseous reactant from the air has been used and all products are solids or liquids.
- Example: CaCl₂(aq) + Na₂SO₄(aq) → CaSO₄(s) + 2NaCl(aq) shows conservation of mass in a precipitation reaction.
Empirical Formula and Reacting Masses
- The empirical formula gives the simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound.
- To find empirical formula from masses: divide each mass by the relative atomic mass, then divide by the smallest result to get the simplest ratio.
- Example: 10 g H and 80 g O gives 10 mol H and 5 mol O, ratio 2:1, so empirical formula is H₂O.
- The molecular formula is a multiple of the empirical formula; to find it, divide the relative formula mass by the empirical formula mass.
- Reacting mass calculations use the balanced equation to find the mass ratio between substances.
- Example: 2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO. 6.0 g Mg produces 6.0 × (80/48) = 10.0 g MgO.
