Mole Conversions

Refer to the mole map:


Particles ----> Moles
Ex.  How many moles of hydrogen molecules (H2) are present in 9 x 1023 molecules of hydrogen?

                                                                                  1 mole
9.0 x 10²³ molecules of hydrogen X  --------------------------------  =  1.5 moles
                                                                     6.022x10²³ molecules

*** Round to the correct significant figure!

Moles ---> Particles/Molecules/Formula units/atoms
Ex.  How many molecules are contained in 3 moles of water molecules, H2O?



                           6.022x10²³ molecules
3.0 moles X  --------------------------------  =  1.8x10²⁴ molecules
                                       1 mole 

Moles ---> Grams
Ex.  Determine the mass in grams of 3.60 mole of H₂SO₄.
  1. Find the molar mass of H₂SO₄.
H --> 1.0(2) =      2
S --> 32.1   =     32.1 +
O --> 16.0(4)=   64
                       ---------
                        98.1 g

     2.  Solve.


                           98.1 g
3.60 moles X  ------------  =  353g of H₂SO₄
                           1 mole 


Grams ---> Moles
Ex.  How many moles of methane molecules, CH4, are in 80 grams of methane?

C --> 12.0 =     12
H --> 1.0(4) =   4 +
                       ------
                        16 g
             
                 1 mole
80g X  ------------  =  5.0 moles
                  16g
