Mole-mass-volume relationships

Because we know we are dealing with a buffer solution made from a specific conjugate acid-base pair, we can work directly with the buffer equation. We need to calculate the ratio of concentrations of conjugate base and acid that will produce a buffer solution of the desired pH. Then we use mole-mass-volume relationships to translate the ratio into actual quantities. 

Balanced Equations When using chemical equations for calculations of mole-mass-volume relationships between reactants and products, the equations must be balanced. Remember The number in front of a formula in a balanced chemical equation represents the number of moles of that substance in the chemical reaction. 

Figure 3.10 Summary of mass-mole-number-volume relationships in solution. The amount (in moles) of a compound in solution is related to the volume of solution in liters through the molarity (M) in moles per liter. The other relationships shown are identical to those in Figure 3.4, except that here they refer to the quantities in solution. As in previous cases, to find the quantity of substance expressed in one form or another, convert the given information to moles first.

Because moles are the currency of chemistry, all stoichiometric computations require amounts in moles. In the real world, we measure mass, volume, temperature, and pressure. With the ideal gas equation, our catalog of relationships for mole conversion is complete. Table lists three equations, each of which applies to a particular category of chemical substances. 

Background Avogadro s law (Vin2 = V2ni), where moles, n = mw (grams/mole) exPresses the relationship between molar mass, the actual mass and the number of moles of a gas. The molar volume of a gas at STP, VSTP is equal to the volume of the gas measured at STP divided by the number of moles VSTp = pp. Dalton s Law of Partial Pressure (Ptotai = Pi + P2 + P3 +. ..) and the derivation, Pi = pp Ptotai will also be used in this experiment to predict the volume occupied by one mole of hydrogen gas at STP. 

A—To calculate the molality of a solution, both the moles of solute and the kilograms of solvent are needed. A liter of solution would contain a known number of moles of solute. To convert this liter to mass, a mass to volume relationship (density) is needed. 

You have already encountered problems involving moles, molecules, and molar masses earlier in this book. There is still one other relationship that needs to be connected with the mole and that is molar volume. Once you make a connection between moles and volume, mass, and molecules you will be able to solve problems easily. One very helpful mnemonic device to use is the Mole-Go-Round. Some think of this method as a way of cheating the system, but because the SAT II exam does not require you to show work, the Mole-Go-Round is a perfectly acceptable method for achieving better results. 

The relationship between the density p (mass/volume), temperature, and pressure of an ideal gas can be obtained by first relating the specific molar volume, V (volume/mole), to the density. Using a specific set of units for illustration. 

You need to be familiar with the Kelvin temperature scale and the relationship between mass, volume and density. You should also have covered the relationship between mass and moles in Unit 43, and the explanation of pressure in Unit 1.1. 

This simply shows that there is a physical relationship between different quantities that one can measure in a gas system, so that gas pressure can be expressed as a function of gas volume, temperature and number of moles, n. In general, some relationships come from the specific properties of a material and some follow from physical laws that are independent of the material (such as the laws of thermodynamics). There are two different kinds of thermodynamic variables intensive variables (those that do not depend on the size and amount of the system, like temperature, pressure, density, electrostatic potential, electric field, magnetic field and molar properties) and extensive variables (those that scale linearly with the size and amount of the system, like mass, volume, number of molecules, internal energy, enthalpy and entropy). Extensive variables are additive whereas intensive variables are not. 

Equation of state (EOS) n. For an ideal gas, if the pressure and temperature are constant, the volume of of the gas depends on the mass, or amount of gas. Then, a single property called the gas density (ratio of mass/volume). If the mass and temperature are held constant, the product of pressure and volume are observed to be nearly constant for a real gas. The product of pressure and volume is exactly for an ideal gas. This relationship between pressure and volume is called Boyle s Law. Finally, if the mass and pressure are held constant, the volume is directly proportional to the temperature for an ideal gas. This relationship is called Charles and Gay-Lussac s law. The gas laws of Boyle and Charles and Gay-Lussac can be combined into a single equation of state PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V volume, Tabsolute temperature, n number of moles and R is the universal gas constant. Ane-rodynamicists us a different form of the equation of state that is specialized of air. Regarding polymers and monomers, equation of state is an equation giving the specific volume (v) of a polymer from the known temperature and pressure and, sometimes, from its morphological form. An early example is the modified Van der Waals form, successfully tested on amorphous and molten polymers. The equation is ... 

One mole of NaOH has a mass of 40.0 g. If this quantity of NaOH is dissolved in enough water to make exactly 1.00 L of solution, the solution is a 1 M solution. If 20.0 g of NaOH, which is 0.500 mol, is dissolved in enough water to make 1.00 L of solution, a 0.500 M NaOH solution is produced. This relationship between molarity, moles, and volume may be expressed in the following ways. 

It is thus seen that heat capacity at constant volume is the rate of change of internal energy with temperature, while heat capacity at constant pressure is the rate of change of enthalpy with temperature. Like internal energy, enthalpy and heat capacity are also extensive properties. The heat capacity values of substances are usually expressed per unit mass or mole. For instance, the specific heat which is the heat capacity per gram of the substance or the molar heat, which is the heat capacity per mole of the substance, are generally considered. The heat capacity of a substance increases with increase in temperature. This variation is usually represented by an empirical relationship such as... 

Background This experiment uses the concept of continuous variation to determine mass and mole relationships. Continuous variation keeps the total volume of two reactants constant, but varies the ratios in which they combine. The optimum ratio would be the one in which the maximum amount of both reactants of known concentration are consumed and the maximum amount of product(s) is produced. Since the reaction is exothermic, and heat is therefore a product, the ratio of the two reactants that produces the greatest amount of heat is a function of the actual stoichiometric relationship. Other products that could be used to determine actual molar relationships might include color intensity, mass of precipitate formed, amount of gas evolved, and so on. 

In this example, we need to determine the molar mass (g/mol) of the gene fragment. This requires two pieces of information—the mass of the substance and the number of moles. We know the mass (7.95 mg), thus we need to determine the number of moles present. We will rearrange the osmotic pressure relationship to n 77 V/RT. We know the solute is a nonelectrolyte so i = 1. We can now enter the given values into the rearranged equation and perform a pressure and a volume conversion ... 

Sometimes chemists need to know the mass of a substance that has to be dissolved to prepare a known volume of solution at a given concentration. A simple method of calculating the number of moles and so the mass of substance needed is by using the relationship ... 

On the other hand, irreversible thermodynamics has provided us with the insight that entropy generation is related to process flow rates like those of volume, V, mass in moles, h, chemical conversion, vl h, and heat, Q, and their so-called conjugated forces A(P/T), -A(p/T), A/T, and A(l/T). Although irreversible thermodynamics does not specify the relationship between these forces X and their conjugated flow rates /, it leaves no doubt about the... 

There are four intrinsic, measurable properties of a gas (or, for that matter, any substance) its pressure P, temperature T, volume (in the case of a gas, the container volume) V, and mass m, or mole number n. The gas density d is a derived quantity, which is m/V. Before the relationships between these properties for a gas are discussed, the units in which they are usually reported will be outlined. 

Not only masses bnt qnantities of substances in any units can be used for stoichiometry purposes. The quantities given must be changed to moles. Just as a mass is a measure of the number of moles of a reactant or product, the number of individual atoms, ions, or molecules involved in a chemical reaction may be converted to moles of reactant or product and used to solve problems. The number of moles of individual atoms or ions of a given element within a compound may also be used to determine the number of moles of reactant or product. The density of a substance may be used to determine the mass of a given volume of it and the mass may be used to determine the number of moles present. Some of these additional relationships are illustrated in Figure 10.3. 

By combining thermodynamically-based monomer partitioning relationships for saturation [170] and partial swelling [172] with mass balance equations, Noel et al. [174] proposed a model for saturation and a model for partial swelling that could predict the mole fraction of a specific monomer i in the polymer particles. They showed that the batch emulsion copolymerization behavior predicted by the models presented in this article agreed adequately with experimental results for MA-VAc and MA-Inden (Ind) systems. Karlsson et al. [176] studied the monomer swelling kinetics at 80 °C in Interval III of the seeded emulsion polymerization of isoprene with carboxylated PSt latex particles as the seeds. The authors measured the variation of the isoprene sorption rate into the seed polymer particles with the volume fraction of polymer in the latex particles, and discussed the sorption process of isoprene into the seed polymer particles in Interval III in detail from a thermodynamic point of view. 

The number of moles is a fourth variable that can be added to pressure, volume, and temperature as a way to describe a gas sample. Recall that as the other gas laws were presented, care was taken to state that the relationships hold true for a fixed mass or a given amount of a gas sample. Changing the number of gas particles present will affect at least one of the other three variables. 

In Chapter 3 we used relationships between amounts (in moles) and masses (in grams) of reactants and products to solve stoichiometry problems. When the reactants and/or products are gases, we can also use the relationships between amounts (moles, ri) and volume (V) to solve such problems (Figure 5.12). The following examples show how the gas laws are used in these calculations.
