MEASUREMENTS IN CHEMISTRY

Mass

Convert the following into grams:

a) 0.25 kg

b) 15 kg

c) 100 tonnes

d) 2 tonnes

Volume

Convert the following into dm3:

a) 100 cm3

b) 25 cm3

c) 50 m3

d) 50000 cm3

Tip – always use standard form for very large and very small numbers!

What is a mole?

Atoms and molecules are very small – far too small to count individually!

It is important to know how much of something we have, but we count particles in MOLES because you get simpler numbers

1 mole = 6.02 x 1023 particles

(6.02 x 1023 is known as Avogadro’s number)

a) If you have 2.5 x 1021 atoms of magnesium, how many moles do you have?

b) If you have 0.25 moles of carbon dioxide, how many molecules do you have?

How can you work out how many moles you have?

a) From a measurement of MASS:

You can find the number of moles of a substance if you are given its mass and you know its molar mass:

number of moles = mass/molar mass
