Counting by Weighing
• Atoms are too small and there are too many
to count individually.
• Compare to M&M’s in a candy store.

Atomic Mass: Counting Atoms
by Weighing
Because atoms are so small we can’t use the
conventional units of grams and kilograms.
Mass of a single carbon atom:
1.99 x 10-23 g
1 atomic mass unit = 1.66 x 10-24g
AMU
• Precisely,1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon12. The carbon-12 (C-12) atom has six protons
and six neutrons in its nucleus.
• In imprecise terms, one AMU is the average of
the proton rest mass and the neutron rest mass.
This is approximately 1.67377 x 10 -27 kilogram
(kg), or 1.67377 x 10 -24 gram (g). The mass of
an atom in AMU is roughly equal to the sum of
the number of protons and neutrons in the
nucleus.

Atomic Mass: Counting
Atoms by Weighing
Elements occur in nature as mixtures of isotopes
Carbon =
98.89% 12C
1.11% 13C
<0.01% 14C
Carbon’s average atomic mass = 12.01 amu

The Mole
In the lab we will be measuring in grams not
amu’s.
You can consider them to be equivalent.
26.98 g Al = 26.98 amu Al
? g Cu = 63.66 amu Cu
63.66 g

The Mole
• A counting unit
• Similar to a dozen, except instead
of 12, it’s 602 billion trillion
602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
• 6.02 X 1023 (in scientific notation)
• This number is named in honor of
Avagadro
Amedeo _________
(1776 – 1856),
who studied quantities of gases
and discovered that no matter what
the gas was, there were the same
number of molecules present
Figure 8.1: All of these examples of
pure elements contain the same number
(a mole) of atoms: 6.022x1023 atoms.

Just How Big is a Mole?
• Enough soft drink cans to cover the
surface of the earth to a depth of
over 200 miles.
• If you had Avogadro's number of
unpopped popcorn kernels, and
spread them across the United
States of America, the country would
be covered in popcorn to a depth of
over 9 miles.
• If we were able to count atoms at the
rate of 10 million per second, it
would take about 2 billion years to
count the atoms in one mole.

Everybody Has Avogadro’s
Number!
But Where Did it Come From?
• It was NOT just picked!
It was MEASURED.
• One of the better
methods of measuring
this number was the
Millikan Oil Drop
Experiment
• Since then we have
found even better ways
of measuring using xray technology

The Mole
• 1 dozen cookies = 12 cookies
• 1 mole of cookies = 6.02 X 1023 cookies
• 1 dozen cars = 12 cars
• 1 mole of cars = 6.02 X 1023 cars

• 1 mole of Al atoms = 6.02 X 1023 atoms
Note that the NUMBER is always the same,

Other Names Related to Molar Mass
• Molecular Mass/Molecular Weight: If you have a single
molecule, mass is measured in amu’s instead of grams.
But, the molecular mass/weight is the same numerical value
as 1 mole of molecules. Only the units are different. (This is
the beauty of Avogadro’s Number!)
• Formula Mass/Formula Weight: Same goes for
compounds. But again, the numerical value is the same.
Only the units are different.
• THE POINT: You may hear all of these terms
which mean the SAME NUMBER… just different units
25
Molar Mass of Molecules and
Compounds

(Nutra-Sweet) formula C14H18N2O5 is
used to sweeten diet foods, coffee and

30
Atoms/Molecules and Grams
• Since 6.02 X 1023 particles = 1 mole
AND
1 mole = molar mass (grams)
• You can convert atoms/molecules to
moles and then moles to grams! (Two step
process)
• You can’t go directly from atoms to
grams!!!! You MUST go thru MOLES.
• That’s like asking 2 dozen cookies weigh
how many ounces if 1 cookie weighs 4 oz?
You have to convert to dozen first!
