Molecular Mass
1) Multiply the mass of each element by the number of atoms
2) Add
Examples:
Li2F
Li =   7 x 2 = 14
F  = 19 x 1 = 19
                      33 amu

Ga2Se3
Ga = 70 x 2 = 140
Se  = 79 x 3 = 237
                        377 amu
Ca3 (PO 4 )2
Ca = 40 x 3 = 120
P   = 31 x 2 =    62
O  = 16 x 8 =  128
                        310 amu

Determine the Molecular Mass:
1)  ZnCl 2
2)  Tin Nitrate                            
Answers:
Sn(NO3 ) 4
Zn = 65   x 1 =  65
Cl = 35.5 x 2 = 71
                         136 AMU
Sn = 119 x  1  =  119
N  =   14 x  4   =   56
O  =   16 x 12 =   192
                            367 AMU


Mole Conversion
1 mole = 6 .02 x 10 23 particles                    6.02 x 1023 particles is Avogadro's Number
1 mole of any substance = The molecular mass in grams
Convert grams to moles:
gtomoles
Convert moles to grams:
moles
Convert moles to molecules:
molecules

Percent Composition
% = Part/Total x 100
Determine the % Composition of each element in the following:
Examples:
1)  Zn3P2             2) A 4.162 g sample of an iron & sulfur compound contains 2.236 g of iron.

Answers:
1)  Zn = 65 x 3 = 195    % = 195/257 x 100 = 75.9%
     P   = 31 x 2 =   62    % =   62/257 x 100 = 24.1%
                           257

2)  Fe = 2.236/4.162 x 100 = 53.7%          [g of Sulfur = 4.162 - 2.236 = 1.926]
     S   = 1.926/4.162 x 100 = 46.3%



Molarity
Molarity = moles of solute/liters of solution                 M = mol
                                                                                              l
Examples:

Empirical Formulas
1)  Empirical Formula also means the Simplest Formula.
2)  The Empirical Formula may or may not be the molecular formula.
Examples:

Empirical Formula
H2O2
HO
H2O
H2O
Na2SO4
Na2SO4
N2H4
NH2
To Solve Empirical Formula Problems:
1)  Change grams to moles
2)  Divide by the smallest molar ratio
3)  If the ratios are not close to whole # ratios, then multiply by a number that will make it      a whole #.  You must      multiply all by # so you don't change the ratio.  [Close means within about .15 of the whole #]

Hydrates
To Solve a Hydate Problem it is worked like an Empirical Formula Problem
Difference:
1)  It is compounds and not elements
2)  The ratio will always be 1 compound and a # of water molecules.  
     [Example:  How many ticks are on 1 dog]
hydrates

Molecular Formulas
To Solve Molecular Formula Problems:
1)  Determine the mass of the empirical formula
2)  Divide the molecular mass/empirical formula mass = RATIO
3)  Multiply the RATIO by the empirical formula to get the molecular formula

Example:
Caffeine has an empirical formula of C 4H5N2O and a molecular mass of 194 amu.  Find the molecular formula.

Answer:
1)   C = 12 x 4 = 48                 2)    194/97 = 2              3)  C4H5N 2O  x  2   =  C 8H10N 4O2
      H =   1 x 5 =   5
      N = 14 x 2 = 28
      O = 16 x 1 = 16
