Finally, they participate in a discussion of error analysis to question why the prediction and reality are so different. Background Information The Mole If you want to quantify chemistry, you need a way to connect the world that is visible (macroscopic) with the particles that make up that world (nanoscopic). To do this, you have to be able to count particles and keep track of what they do. Individual particles are too small to count, so the counting unit, called the “mole” is used to quantify. The key to understanding the mole is that one mole always contains the same amount of particles, just as one dozen always contains 12 items. In 1896, Friedrich Wilhelm Ostwald introduced this word which is derived from the Latin word moles, meaning a heap or pile. The mole (abbreviated as mol) is the standard SI unit for measuring a quantity of material. (Be careful to point out to students that “mol” is the correct abbreviation for the mole, not “m.” The letter “m” is the abbreviation used for meters.) The mole is defined as follows: one mole the quantity of a material containing exactly as many particles (e.g., atoms, molecules, turnip seeds) as there are atoms in exactly 12 grams of the carbon-12 isotope So, how many particles is that? Many scientists have carried out experiments to determine exactly how many particles are in a mole. The best data available now are: 1 mole of material = 602,214,199,000,000,000,000,000 particles = 6.02214199 × 10 23 particles This value is known as Avogadro’s number, to honor an Italian lawyer and physicist who originally had the idea, although he never determined the number. Conversions and Dimensional Analysis Dimensional analysis is the process of converting quantities from one unit of measurement to another, using ratios that are equivalent. For example, a quantity of matter can be measured either as mass (in grams, kilograms, etc.) or moles. In the laboratory, you can only measure mass using a scale or balance. Therefore, a conversion from mass to moles is necessary.

They will be able to determine this number by knowing the mass of a single penny. Then, they play the game of Equivalent Measures (with dominoes) to learn dimensional analysis. Molar masses are but one kind of domino. Two others come from ratios of stoichiometric coefficients in a balanced equation, and the molar volume of a gas at STP. Students revisit the CO2 balloon from Section 1 and use stoichiometry to predict the amount of baking soda needed to blow up the balloon. Finally, they participate in a discussion of error analysis to question why the prediction and reality are so different.

Background informationthe moleIf you want to quantify chemistry, you need a way to connect the world that is visible (macroscopic) with the particles that make up that world (nanoscopic). To do this, you have to be able to count particles and keep track of what they do. Individual particles are too small to count, so the counting unit, called the “mole” is used to quantify. The key to understanding the mole is that one mole always contains the same amount of particles, just as one dozen always contains 12 items.

In 1896, Friedrich Wilhelm Ostwald introduced this word which is derived from the Latin word moles, meaning a heap or pile. The mole (abbreviated as mol) is the standard SI unit for measuring a quantity of material. (Be careful to point out to students that “mol” is the correct abbreviation for the mole, not “m.” The letter “m” is the abbreviation used for meters.)

The mole is defined as follows:

one mole ≡ the quantity of a material containing

exactly as many particles (e.g., atoms, molecules, turnip seeds)

as there are atoms in exactly 12 grams of the carbon-12 isotope

So, how many particles is that? Many scientists have carried out experiments to determine exactly how many particles are in a mole. The best data available now are:

1 mole of material = 602,214,199,000,000,000,000,000 particles =

6.02214199 × 1023 particles

This value is known as Avogadro’s number, to honor an Italian lawyer and physicist who originally had the idea, although he never determined the number.

Conversions and Dimensional analysisDimensional analysis is the process of converting quantities from one unit of measurement to another, using ratios that are equivalent. For example, a quantity of matter can be measured either as mass (in grams, kilograms, etc.) or moles. In the laboratory, you can only measure mass using a scale or balance. Therefore, a conversion from mass to moles is necessary.

There are three kinds of dimensional analysis conversions presented in this section:

1) Mass of a material ⇔ moles of that material

2) Moles of one material ⇔ moles of another material

Active Chemistry 659

SECTION 3 stoichiometrY: how much Gas is produced?ch

apter 4

3) Moles of a gas ⇔ volume of that gas, under known conditions of temperature and pressure

Often, conversions are done in a continuous series to arrive at the desired answer.

Conversion 1: mass of a material ⇔ moles of that material

If you know the identity of the material, you can convert between the mass and the moles by using an equivalent measure called molar mass (which is the mass of one mole of a material). The molar mass is expressed in grams per mole (g/mol). For example, one mole of sodium (Na) atoms has a mass of 22.99 grams. The molar mass of Na is 22.99 g/mol. This number can be obtained from the atomic mass listed on the periodic table. This conversion is used when changing between moles of sodium and mass of sodium. Two moles of sodium have a mass of 45.98 g. The conversion can be shown using dimensional analysis as follows:

example 1a – What is the mass of 2.000 moles of na?

2.000 mol Na × 22.99 g Na

_________________________ 1 mol Na

= 45.98 g Na

The fraction shown is the conversion factor, which in this case is the molar mass, g/mol. The numerator and denominator of this conversion factor are equivalent, except they are expressed in different units. In other words, one mole of Na atoms always has a mass of 22.99 grams. The conversion factor is the “domino” students are taught to use in this section to make this conversion work. The trick to the “dominoes” game is that the denominator unit must cancel the numerator unit in the previous domino. So, the moles of Na cancel each other out in this case, leaving grams of Na as the units in the answer. In the language of the dominoes game, this conversion looks like:

start finish

2.000 molof Na

22.99 g Na

45.98 g Na

1mol Na

To run the conversion backwards, the opposite domino would be used. For example, if you want to know how many moles of Na are in 45.98 grams of Na, the calculation would be:

example 1B – how many moles are in 45.98 grams of na?

45.98 g Na × 1 mol Na

_____________________ 22.99 g Na

= 2.000 mol Na

The molar masses of materials that are not simple elements can be calculated if you know how many of each type of particle are inside a unit of the material. Examples of this are presented in Step 9 of the Investigate section in the Student Edition. For example, one mole of water (H2O) has a mass of 18.02 grams, as shown in the Student Edition. Therefore, the mass of 2.000 moles of water is calculated this way.

example 1C – What is the mass of 2.000 moles of water?

2.000 mol H2O × 18.02 g H2O ____________________________

1 mol H2O = 36.04 g H2O

Conversion 2: moles of one material ⇔ moles of another material

When you have the quantity of a material expressed in terms of particles, you can use balanced chemical equations to keep track of what particles do. In this way, you can convert between particles of one material and particles of another material. The conversion factor used relates the quantity of particles of one type of material to the quantity of particles of another type of material.

chemical dominoes

The balanced chemical equation

2H2 + O2 → 2H2O

shows the relations between how many units of each kind of chemical are needed or produced. This is determined by the coefficients in the balanced equation and in this equation it takes 2 moles of H2 and 1 mole of O2 to make 2 moles of water (H2O).

If you start with 4 moles of H2, then 2 moles of O2 are needed to react with all the H2. Or, it could be asked as a question: If you begin with 4 moles of H2, how many moles of O2 are needed so that all the H2 can react? The domino, using equivalent measures derived from the coefficients in front of the chemicals in the balanced reaction, is shown here:

example 2a – how many moles of o2 are needed so that 4 moles of h2 can react completely?

4 mol H2 × 1 mol O2 _________ 2 mol H2

= 2 mol O2

While this calculation using whole numbers is easy for students to do in their heads, more complicated numbers require the rigor of calculations.

example 2B – how many moles of h2o can be produced if 1.35 moles of o2 react completely?

1.35 mol O2 × 2 mol H2O __________ 1 mol O2

= 2.70 mol H2O

Conversion 3: moles of a gas ⇔ volume of that gas

Most matter is measured in the laboratory in mass. However, quantities of gases are often easier to measure by volume. So, it is convenient to know how to convert between moles of a gas and the volume of that gas. Since the volume of any gas under standard laboratory conditions (standard pressure of 1 atmosphere, temperature of 0ºC) is the same (assuming ideal behavior),

there is one conversion factor that works for all gases under these conditions. One mole of a gas takes up 22.4 liters of space at standard conditions (STP). As with any other conversion factor, it can be used in either direction.

example 3a – What is the volume occupied at Stp by 0.54 moles of h2 gas?

O.54 mol H2 gas × 22.4 L gas __________

1 mol gas = 12 L H2 gas

example 3B – how many moles of Co2 gas are in a balloon that is filled to 8.45 liters at Stp?

8.45 L CO2 gas × 1 mol gas __________

22.4 L gas = 0.377 mol CO2 gas

using more than one conversion in a calculation

More than one conversion can be used to do a calculation. The idea is that anything that appears in the denominator of one fraction can cancel something that appears in the numerator of another fraction. The trick to the calculation is to get the conversions placed so that everything cancels except the units you want in the end. This is the only rule in the dominoes game, and one which students are asked to figure out early in the section.

The goal of this section is not to teach students to be able to do all stoichiometry calculations (that would take more time than is allotted for this section). The goal is to give students the tools they need to predict how many grams of baking soda are needed to inflate a balloon with enough CO2 gas to tip a lever by a specified amount. Therefore, if beginning with liters of CO2 gas, and ending with grams of baking soda (NaHCO3), the initial setup looks like this:

(some amount) L CO2 gas × (some conversion factors) = (some amount) g NaHCO3

This means that in the first conversion factor or domino, L CO2 gas must be in the denominator. And in the last domino, g NaHCO3 must be in the numerator. Since the only conversion you know that involves liters of gas is the third kind,

Active Chemistry 661

SECTION 3 stoichiometrY: how much Gas is produced?ch

apter 4

then the first conversion factor must be:

1 mol CO2 gas

______________ 22.4 L CO2 gas

The only conversion you know that involves grams of a material is the first kind, so the last conversion factor must be:

84.02 g NaHCO3 ________________ 1 mol NaHCO3

Placing these dominoes in the setup results in:

(some amount) L CO2 gas × 1 mol CO2 gas

______________________________________ 22.4 L CO2 gas

×

(?) ×

84.02 g NaHCO3 ________________ 1 mol NaHCO3

= (some amount) g NaHCO3

The missing domino in the middle (?) must then convert between moles of CO2 gas and moles of NaHCO3. For this, you must consider the balanced equation:

NaHCO3 + HC2H3O2 → NaC2H3O2 + H2O + CO2

This shows that 1 mole of NaHCO3 yields 1 mole of CO2.

The final setup then is:

(some amount) L CO2 gas × 1 mol CO2 gas ______________

22.4 L CO2 gas ×

1 mol NaHCO3 ______________

1 mol CO2 × 84.02 g NaHCO3 ________________

1 mol NaHCO3 =

(some amount) g NaHCO3

Stoichiometry

The word “stoichiometry” derives from two Greek words: stoicheion, meaning “element” and metron, meaning “measure.” Doing stoichiometry calculations in chemistry involves mathematically relating the amount of one chemical to the amount of another. The most common kind of stoichiometry calculation asks what quantity of one chemical can be produced if a specified quantity of another chemical is used.

It is sometimes helpful to students to map stoichiometry calculations. Examples 1A and 1C fit the same general map, although the chemical (Na) and conversion factor (domino) shown are specific to Example 1A only:

moles Na grams Na

22.99 g Na

1 mol Na

The map for the stoichiometric calculation to determine the mass of baking soda required to inflate a balloon with CO2 gas to a desired volume is:

StuDentS’ prior ConCeptionS

The most important concept to stress in this section is that the quantity of matter can be expressed in different units: mass of a material, moles of the material (essentially a count of how many particles are present), and, for gases, volume. Only mass and volume are measurable in the laboratory. Moles must be calculated from one of these.Some stumbling blocks to learning can include the following misconceptions:

1. atomic mass (atomic weight) must be a whole number. Many students are taught (incorrectly, but understandably) in earlier grades that atomic mass (the average mass of one mole of naturally occurring atoms of an element) and mass number

(the sum of the protons and neutrons in a given isotope of an element) are the same. Many common atomic masses are close to whole numbers because a single isotope dominates the natural abundances of those elements (e.g., carbon, oxygen, nitrogen). Students are often taught that they can identify the number of neutrons in the most common isotopes of many common elements by taking the difference between the atomic mass and the atomic number. Unfortunately, the subtler issue of being more than one isotope is lost. Students are then taught to, or conclude that they should round every atomic mass to the nearest whole number before using it to calculate a molar mass. This practice

Answers will vary. The focus of the What Do You See? illustration is to engage students, to get them actively involved, and to introduce some of the topics they will investigate in the section. There are no right or wrong answers, although you may ask for an explanation for their response. The students will no doubt recognize the play on words using a mole to begin the collapse of the file of dominoes with his cane.

These are open questions that will have varied answers. They should lead to a good discussion and are designed to allow you to probe students’ prior knowledge and conceptions.

leads to incorrect calculations when elements such as chlorine, magnesium, and others, appear in formulas. If students have learned this practice, the teacher will need to have students do extra work to relearn it correctly. The explanation behind it is helpful to some students, but it can also create more confusion for students with weaker math or reasoning skills. The explanation is not central to the work of this section, and these concepts are covered in much more detail in other chapters. Therefore, you are advised to simply remind students to use the given value for the atomic mass, without rounding to the nearest whole number.

2. subscripts in chemical formulas are independent of parentheses. Too many conversions at once makes stoichiometry confusing. The concept of conversions is presented here as a single rule in the Equivalent Measures game. However, it may still be helpful to map a problem in steps. For example, in determining the mass of baking soda needed to create a specified volume of carbon dioxide gas, it may be helpful for you to present the following map, and then explain that each arrow represents a conversion (domino).

Students would need to have the following information to correctly predict the amount of reactants needed to inflate the balloon: A balanced equation, a periodic table to calculate molar masses, and the temperature (K) and pressure (atm). Students would need to calculate the number of moles of CO2 gas that would occupy 50 mL of space at room conditions and work back to find the reactants needed. They would use the number of moles of gas needed to determine the number of moles (and then mass) of each reactant required.

Students will complete all of Part A and should make progress into Part B during one 45-minute class period. Students may stop the section at any point in Part B and pick up the following class period.

part a: equivalent measures—mass of one mole

1.a)

Offer students a single penny to use, or let them figure out how to measure the mass of one penny in the bag without opening the bag (by placing the penny in the corner of the bag, and holding the rest of the bag so that only the mass of the one penny is on the scale). The mass of a single (post-1982) penny is 2.60 g. Make sure the balance is set to zero properly (especially if you’re using a triple-beam balance). If students want to be more careful about their measurements, you can offer them an empty bag to measure as well.

NOTE: If pennies are not available, then small metal washers can be used instead.

Students’ answers should explain their procedures, such as: Measure mass of entire bag of pennies, measure mass of one penny, divide first mass by second to determine number of pennies in bag. Two pieces of information are necessary: the mass of a single penny, and the mass of the bag of pennies. If they measure the mass of an empty bag, that value should be subtracted from the bag of pennies.

If they are getting stuck, suggest they first identify the number they are starting with (0.0335 L CO2), and the measure they want to end with (g NaHCO3). If still stuck, another suggestion is to list all the possible dominoes (ratios), which would include molar masses, ratios of stoichiometric coefficients, and the molar volume of a gas at STP. Conditions of STP are assumed and will be close enough.

Probably the actual value was greater than the prediction. Students will likely reason that not all of the baking soda used was able to mix with the acetic acid. Possibly some stuck to the sides of the container (or to the balloon if students used it as the delivery method).

Not all the baking soda •reacted (experimental) – this would require more baking soda to be added than the prediction.

Pressure is required to •blow up the balloon (experimental) – more gas would need to be produced to create this pressure, therefore, more baking soda would have to be used than the prediction.

The room is warmer than •standard temperature of

0ºC (experimental), so the gas occupies more than 22.4 L/mol. Therefore, the actual amount of baking soda used should have been smaller than predicted.

The balloon was not •totally deflated when it was attached to the flask (human), so less than 33.5 mL of CO2 gas was needed. Therefore, the actual amount of baking soda used should have been smaller than predicted.

Chem poetry

An additional opportunity to engage students’ imagination and curiosity about chemistry is the Chem Poem printed beside the illustration. Read the poem aloud and ask students for ideas on how it relates to the chemistry they have learned. The poem is not there to teach them about chemistry and now isn’t the time to analyze it; you will have that opportunity following the section. The Chem Poem provided in the Student Edition is only an edited version of a longer, completed poem as it was originally published. For your convenience, all of the Chem Poems are printed in their entirety as BLMs on the Teacher Resources CD.

Stoichiometry is used to know how much of a product will form and what quantities of starting materials are required.

Stoichiometry is useful for the process of converting between measures or amounts of materials.

Chem essential Questions What does it mean?maCro — Like the number of particles in a mole, the particles of flour in a 5-lb sack of flour are too numerous to count. In both cases, there is no need to know exactly how many particles are present so measurements are determined by weight. Flour is sold by the pound (454 g) and used by volume (cup). Elements and compounds are measured by their mass (g/mol)

and usually used in that form. Gases and liquids are often measured by volume (L).

nano — In most cases, bonds between reactants need to be broken and this requires the input of energy. Energy is released when new bonds are formed between the atoms of reactants.

SymBoliC — An equation tells you the kind and number of atoms of elements bonded together before and after a reaction occurs. The coefficients of a balanced equation tell you the relationship between numbers of molecules of reactants

What Do you think now?

Students should indicate that they would need to know the number of moles of gas that would inflate the balloon to the desired size at room conditions. They would also need to know the balanced equation used to produce the gas as well as the molar masses of any reactants. They would use the number of moles of gas needed to determine the number of moles (and then mass) of each reactant required. Return to the What Do You See? illustration and ask the students to compare and contrast their understanding of moles and stoichiometry with the illustration.

This is a good time to return to the poem that opened the section, and read it aloud to the students. Ask them if they have new ideas or understandings of how the poem relates to the chemistry that they have learned.

and products. Phase subscripts may be used to indicate state of matter.

You can make equivalent dominoes between any two units as long as a direct relationship exists between the two units. An example would be books and paper clips. If it is known that each book has three paper clips in it, then a domino expressing this relationship can be used.

how do you know?Stoichiometry establishes two equal measurements with different units which can be used to convert any

size measurement with one of the units to the other. We established in this section that the number “1 penny” was equivalent to 2.60 g of pennies. This allowed us to know the number of pennies in any mass of pennies and the mass of any number of pennies.

Why do you believe?Students may come up with a variety of uses for stoichiometry. One example would be calculating the cost of fuel needed for a trip of a certain distance, miles, miles/gallon or cost/gallon.

Why should you care?Rather than using a trial-and-error method, stoichiometry will provide a measurement that should result in the same results each time. It will also mean that results can be predicted. Too little product might mean the step doesn’t function properly and the device stops before lighting the LED. In the case of a CO2 balloon, too much product might cause the balloon to over-inflate and pop. This could be dangerous if it splashed acid around the lab area.

reflecting on the Section and the ChallengeStudents should read this section for a specific, direct connection between the section and the Chapter Challenge. While students do not answer any questions in this section, it will provide them with valuable direction in the Chapter Challenge. You may want to provide some class time for students to read this paragraph silently or aloud.

Preparing for the Chapter Challenge

Students could choose any of the CO2 production methods except adding a hot object to carbonated water since the amount of CO2 dissolved in the water is unknown. The target volume of CO2 would be 520 mL. Using stoichiometry, students determine the amounts of reagents needed in their apparatus.

inquiring further

1. limiting reagent

To determine the limiting reagent, a student needs to know that vinegar is approximately 7% acetic acid (by mass). Therefore, if using 100 mL of vinegar (assuming density of water, so that 100 mL = 100 g), then 7 g of acetic acid were used. From here, there are many routes to proving that baking soda was the limiting reagent. Here is one way: The amount of NaHCO3 required to

2. Whipped cream’s a gas!

Students should be able to find information on the internet and in the yellow pages for businesses that supply gases. You might suggest that they visit a bakery and interview a knowledgeable source at the establishment.

Designing an experiment

There are many ways to approach this problem. Before a student begins to experiment, look at the proposed plan and make sure it is safe, and will result in some data (even if it’s not the correct data, exactly). Part of scientific inquiry is modifying an experiment when you realize you’re not measuring what you need. Allow students the opportunity to do this.
