Atomic Mass and Intro to the Mole
How do isotopes of the same element differ from each other?
Class Opener
To define atomic mass and to demonstrate how the average atomic mass of an element is determined
To introduce the concept of the mole
Objectives
Decimal number listed on the periodic table.
Weighted average of all the naturally occurring isotopes of that element.
No atom has this exact mass.
Atomic Mass
You will notice that the average atomic mass of an element is often closest to the atomic mass of the most abundant element.
Chlorine has two naturally occurring isotopes, chlorine-37 and chlorine-35. Which isotope is more abundant? How do you know?
Study Check
The average atomic mass of an element depends on both the mass and the relative abundance of each of the element’s isotopes. Naturally occurring copper consists of 69.15% copper-63, and 30.85% copper-65.
Calculating Average Atomic Mass
To calculate the atomic mass, take the mass times the decimal form of the percent abundance of each. Then you add the numbers together to get the number that appears on the periodic table.
Naturally occurring copper consists of 69.15% copper-63, and 30.85% copper-65
0.6915 x 62.9296= 43.520.3085 x 64.9278= 20.03 63.55 (This is what appears on the periodic table)
Atomic Mass for Copper
Naturally occurring carbon consists of 98.93% carbon-12 with an atomic mass of 12.00, and 1.07% carbon -13 with an atomic mass of 13.00. Calculate the atomic mass.

Quantities in ChemistryImagine trying to
count all the grains of sand in the castle
Easier way:Count all the grains
of sand in 1 gram of sand
Weigh all the sand and convert using your previous measurement
Quantities in ChemistryAnother easy way:
Count all the grains of sand in 1 liter of sand
Measure the volume of the sand and convert using your previous measurement
How Does This Relate to Chemistry?Chemicals react in
fixed ratios at the atomic level
In order to predict how reactions will occur, chemists need to know how many atoms or molecules they have
How Does This Relate to Chemistry?Imagine you want to
burn the spoonful of sugar on the rightEvery sugar molecule
reacts with a fixed number of oxygen molecules
In order to know how much carbon dioxide and water will be produced, you need to know how many molecules of sugar you start with
SI unit for amount of substance is called mole.
A mole measures the number of particles within a substance.
A mole refers to a specific number of particles.
(Counting Unit)Particles can be atoms, ionic
compounds, or molecules
1 mole = 6.02 x 1023 particles
6.02 x 1023 is also known as Avogadro’s Number
1 mole aluminum = 6.02 x 1023 Al atoms
1 mole copper = 6.02 x 1023 Cu atoms
1 mole lead = 6.02 x 1023 Pb atoms
Although 1 mole always contains the same number of particles, the mass of one mole varies depending on the substance.
Molar Mass – mass of one mole of a substance.
Mass of one mole of an element is equal to its ATOMIC MASS expressed in grams.
1 mole of aluminum = 26.98 grams1 mole of copper = 63.55 grams1 mole of lead = 207.2 grams
Molecular mass is the sum of the atomic masses of the component elementsH2O = 2 hydrogen, 1 oxygen = 2(1) + 1(16) = 18CH4 = 1 carbon, 4 hydrogen = 1(12) + 4(1) = 16NaCl = 1 sodium, 1 chlorine = 1(23) + 1(35) = 58
1 mole of molecules will have a weight that equals the molecular mass1 mol H2O = 18 g1 mol CH4 = 16 g1 mol NaCl = 58 g
