Moles and Molar Mass

Moles and Molar

Mass

Moles

◦Because the number of
particles involved in most
chemical reactions is so large,
chemists use a counting unit
called the mole (mol)

◦One mole (mol) is the amount
of a substance that contains
6.02 x 1023 particles of that
substance

2

Molar Mass

◦The mass in grams of one mole
of a substance is called its
molar mass

◦Just as the mass of a dozen
eggs is different from the
mass of a dozen watermelons,
different substances have
different molar masses

Chemical

Reactions and

Energy

Energy
Exchanges

◦All chemical reactions release
or absorb energy!!!

◦This energy can take many
forms such as thermal energy,
light, sound, or electricity

10

More
Energy Out

◦Many reactions involve the
release of energy

◦Exergonic reactions: chemical
reactions that release energy

11

More
energy out
as thermal
energy

◦In many reactions, the energy
given off is thermal energy.

◦Exothermic reaction: when
the energy given off is primarily
in the form of thermal energy
◦Ex. wood burning and the
explosion of dynamite are
exothermic reactions

12

Multiple Choice

_____ reactions usually feel hot!

• endothermic

• exothermic

Multiple Choice

In an exothermic reaction, heat is ...

• taken in

• given out

Multiple Choice

If a chemical reaction is EXOTHERMIC, the temperature would....

• Stay the same

• Increase

• Decrease

More
energy in

◦Sometimes a chemical reaction
requires more energy to break
bonds than is released

◦Endergonic reactions:
chemical reactions that absorb
energy

13

Multiple Choice

If a chemical reaction absorbs light in a reaction, it is an

• exergonic reaction

• exothermic reaction

• endergonic reaction

• endothermic reaction

More
energy in
as thermal
energy

◦When the energy needed to
keep a reaction going is in the
form of thermal energy, the
reaction is called an
endothermic reaction

◦Ex. Baking bread, cooking an
egg, evaporating water

14

Multiple Choice

In an endothermic reaction, heat is ...

• taken in or absorbed

• given out or released 

Multiple Choice

• The temperature increased

• It is an endothermic reaction

• It is an exothermic reaction

Multiple Choice

During an endothermic reaction in a beaker if we are part of the surroundings and touched the beaker, it would feel _______. 

• Warm

• Cold

Multiple Choice

In an endothermic reaction, heat is ...

• taken in

• given out

Endothermic
vs.
Exothermic

15

Conservation
of energy in
chemical
reactions

◦Recall, energy can change from
one form to another, but the
total amount of energy never
changes

◦The total amount of energy
before and after the reaction
remains the same

16

Chemical energy of reactants = chemical energy of products + energy released
