For molecules, formula mass and molecular mass refer to the same quantity. 

A fourth technique used for the characterization of molecules is mass spectrometry. It is included in this chapter because the structural information it provides is similar to that obtained from the other techniques although the principle is entirely different. It is a destructive method in which the fragmentation pattern of sample molecules is used to determine empirical formulae and molecular weights, and to identify structural features. 

How many molecules are there in an i8.ois-gram sample of water, H20 (formula mass 18.015 atomic mass units) ... 

Because this number of grams of water is numerically equal to the formula mass, there are 6.02 x 1023 water molecules in the sample, which is i mole of water molecules. 

How many molecules of aspirin (formula mass 180 atomic mass units) are there in a 0.250-gram sample ... 

Mass ratios are determined by using the molecular masses (also called molecular weights) of the substances involved in a reaction. Just as the atomic mass of an element is the average mass of the element s atoms, the molecular mass of a substance is the average mass of the substance s molecules. Numerically, molecular mass (or more generally formula mass) equals the sum of the atomic masses of all atoms in the molecule. 

How do we use molecular masses Because the mass ratio of one HC1 molecule to one ethylene molecule is 36.5 28.0, the mass ratio of any given number of HC1 molecules to the same number of ethylene molecules is always 36.5 28.0. In other words, a 36.5 28.0 mass ratio of HC1 and ethylene corresponds to a 1 1 number ratio. Equal numbers of different molecules (or formula units) always have a mass ratio equal to their molecular (or formula) mass ratio (Figure 3.1). 

When referring to the enormous numbers of molecules or ions that take part in a visible chemical reaction, it s convenient to use a special unit called a mole, abbreviated mol. One mole of any substance is the amount whose mass—its molar mass—is equal to the molecular or formula mass of the substance in grams. One mole of ethylene has a mass of 28.0 g, one mole of HC1 has a mass of 36.5 g, one mole of NaCl has a mass of 58.5 g, and so on. (To be more precise, one mole is formally defined as the amount of a substance that contains the same number of molecules or formula units as there are atoms in exactly 12 g of carbon-12.)... 

Just how many molecules are there in a mole Experiments show that one mole of any substance contains 6.022 X 1023 formula units, a value called Avogadro s number (abbreviated NA) after the Italian scientist who first recognized the importance of the mass/number relationship. Avogadro s number of formula units of any substance—that is, one mole—has a mass in grams equal to the molecular or formula mass of the substance. 

In effect, molar mass acts as a conversion factor between numbers of molecules and mass. If you know the mass of a sample, you can calculate how many molecules you have if you know how many molecules you have, you can calculate their total mass. Note, though, that it s always necessary when using a molar mass to specify the formula of the substance you re talking about. For example, 1 mol of hydrogen atoms, H, has a molar mass of 1.0 g/mol, but 1 mol of hydrogen molecules, H2, has a molar mass of 2.0 g/mol. 

In the example above we can work out the relative formula mass of molecules such as 02 and C02 using the relative atomic masses of the atoms they are made from. The RFM is the sum of the relative atomic masses of all those elements shown in the formula of the substance. 

Atomic mass refers to the mass of one mole of an element. Molar mass refers to the mass of one mole of molecules, formula units, or ions. 

The meaning of a chemical formula was discussed in Chapter 5, and we learned how to interpret formulas in terms of the numbers of atoms of each element per formula unit. In this chapter, we will learn how to calculate the number of grams of each element in any given quantity of a compound from its formula and to do other calculations involving formulas. Formula masses are presented in Section 7.1, and percent composition is considered in Section 7.2. Section 7.3 discusses the mole—the basic chemical quantity of any substance. Moles can be used to count atoms, molecules, or ions and to calculate the mass of any known number of formula units of a substance. Section 7.4 shows how to use relative mass data to determine empirical formulas, and the method is extended to molecular formulas in Section 7.5. 

The ratio is 1 mol C to 1 mol H. The empirical formula is CH. Next, the molar mass (the number of grams per mole) is divided by the mass of a mole of empirical formula units to get the number of empirical formula units per molecule. The mass of 1.00 mol of CH formula units is... 

What is a synonym for molar mass (a) for molecules (b) for atoms (c) for ionic compounds What is a synonym for formula mass (d) for molecules (e) for atoms (f) for ionic compounds ... 

The empirical formula is CH2. The empirical formula mass is therefore 14.0 amu per empirical formula unit. The number of empirical formula units per molecule is given by 28.1 amu/molecule 14.0 amu/empirical formula unit... 

The formula mass of a compound is the sum of the atomic masses (Chap. 3) of all the atoms (not merely each kind of atom) in the formula. Thus, in the same way that a symbol is used to represent an element, a formula is used to represent a compound or a molecule of an element, such as H2, and also one unit of either. The formula mass of the substance or the mass of 1 mol of the substance is easily determined on the basis of the formula (Sec. 7.4). Note that just as formula unit may refer to uncombined atoms, molecules, or atoms combined in an ionic compound, the term formula mass may refer to the atomic mass of an atom, the molecular mass of a molecule, or the formula mass of a formula unit of an ionic compound. 

Mole is abbreviated mol. Do not use m or M for mole these symbols are used for other quantities related to moles, and so you will be confused if you use either of them. Note A mole is referred to by some authors as a gram molecular mass because 1 mol of molecules has a mass in grams equal to its molecular mass. In this terminology, a gram atomic mass is 1 mol of atoms, and a gram formula mass is 1 mol of formula units. 

Ans. There are 6.02 x 10 atoms in 1.00 mol K (Avogadro s number). There are 39.1 g of Kin 1.00 mol K (equal to the atomic mass in grams). This problem requires use of two of the most important conversion factors involving moles. Note which one is used with masses and which one is used with numbers of atoms (or molecules or formula units). With numbers of atoms, molecules, or formula units, use Avogadro s number, with mass, use the formula mass. 

A compound consists of 92.26% C and 7.74% H. Its molecular mass is 65.0 amu. (a) Calculate its empirical formula, (b) Calculate its empirical formula mass, (c) Calculate the number of empirical formula units in one molecule, (d) Calculate its molecular formula.
