4.3 APPLICATION EXAMPLE

FOR MOLES Gas Behavior

How does the behavior of gases affect airbags?

What is pressure?

Pressure – Force of gas particles running into a surface

As number of molecules increases, there are more molecules to collide with the wall

Collisions between molecules and the wall increase

Pressure increases

If pressure is molecular collisions with the container…

As # of molecules increases, pressure increases

Pressure and Number of Molecules

Pressure and Volume

As volume increases, molecules can travel farther before hitting the wall

Collisions between molecules and the wall decrease

Pressure decreases

If pressure is molecular collisions with the container…

As volume increases, pressure decreases

Section 4.3—Counting Molecules

So the number of molecules affects pressure of an airbag…how do we “count” molecules?

How do auto makers utilize enough atoms of gas to create pressure that inflates the bag,

But not so many that the pressure is too great when it hits you and your face that it causes permanent damage

Count the atoms

What is a mole?

Definition

Mole – SI unit for counting

The only acceptable abbreviation for “mole” is “mol”…not “m”!!

What is a counting unit?You’re already familiar with one counting unit…a “dozen”

“Dozen” 12

A dozen doughnuts 12 doughnuts

A dozen books

A dozen cars

A dozen people

12 books

12 cars

12 people

A dozen = 12

What does a “mole” count in?

A mole = 6.02 1023 (called Avogadro’s number)

“mole” 6.02 1023

1 mole of doughnuts 6.02 1023 doughnuts

1 mole of atoms

1 mole of molecules

6.02 1023 atoms

6.02 1023 molecules

6.02 1023 = 602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

This means a 12 ounce bottle of water would have 19.7 “moles” of water…a much easier-to-work-with number!

Molar Mass

Definition

Molar Mass – The mass for one mole of an atom or molecule.

Other terms commonly used for the same meaning:Molecular WeightMolecular MassFormula WeightFormula Mass

Mass for 1 mole of atoms

The average atomic mass = grams for 1 mole

Element Mass

1 mole of carbon atoms 12.01 g

1 mole of oxygen atoms

1 mole of hydrogen atoms

16.00 g

1.01 g

Unit for molar mass: g/mole or g/mol

Average atomic mass is found on the periodic table

Molar mass for molecules

The molar mass for a molecule = the sum of the molar masses of all the atoms

Calculating a Molecule’s Mass

Count the number of each type of atom
