Mass interconverting number

The general procedure for interconverting mass and number of formula units (atoms, molecules, ions, or whatever else is represented by the chemical formula) is summarized in T FIGURE 3.12.

The mole concept provides the bridge between masses and numbers of particles. To illustrate how we can interconvert masses and numbers of particles, let s calculate the number of copper atoms in an old copper penny. Such a penny weighs about 3 g, and we ll assume that it is 100% copper ... 

Notice also that our answer is a very large number. Any time you calculate the number of atoms, molecules, or ions in an ordinary sample of matter, you can expect the answer to be very large. In contrast, the number of moles in a sample will usually be much smaller, often less than 1. The general procedure for interconverting mass and number of formula units (atoms, molecules, ions, or whatever is represented by the chemical formula) of a substance is summarized in Figure 3.10 T. 

For a given mass number there is a known, stable neutron to proton ratio which varies from 1 to 1.5 as the mass increases (Figure 10.2). Any nucleide whose ratio falls outside of these values will be unstable and decay so as to obtain a more stable ratio. In doing so, it will interconvert neutrons and protons and... 

Most modem instrumental particle size analysers readily present data in a variety of forms, such as frequency, cumulative undersize or oversize, and interconvert between number, mass and other distributions. Acquisition of data in a suitable form is therefore not usually a problem. 

Interconvert mass, number of moles, number of molecules, and (using density) the molar volume of a substance (Section 2.f, Problems f-12). 

Here, then, we have two mass balance equations plus the electroneutrality condition there is always only one electroneutrality condition, while the number of mass balance equations depends on the number of non-interconvertible ionic species present. Since all three conditions must be met simultaneously, it is convenient to combine them in one expression,... 

The progress of reactions that produce or consume a gas may be described by measuring gas volume instead of mass. The best way to solve these problems is to use the ideal gas equation to interconvert volume and number of moles ... 

Figure 3.10 Outline of the procedure used to interconvert the mass of a substance in grams and the number of formula units of that substance. The number of moles of the substance is central to the calculation thus, the mole concept can be thought of as the bridge between the mass of a substance and the number of formula units. 

Figure 1.39 is a summary showing how to interconvert between mass (in g), amount (in mol) and number of particles using molar mass and Avogadro s constant. 

Molar mass and Avogadro s number can be used to interconvert among mass, moles, and number cf particles (atoms, molecules, ions, formula units, etc.).
