Find the Molar Mass of Sodium Carbonate, Na 2CO3. Na 2 X Moles and Molar Mass The mole is the "counting unit" used by chemists to indicate the number of atoms, ions, molecules, or formula units present in a particular chemical sample. The mole is similar to other counting units that you've used before....pair (2), dozen (12), and gross (144). One mole of a compound contains Avogadro's number (6.022 x 1023) of molecules (molecular compound) or formula units (ionic compound). The molar mass of a compound tells you the mass of 1 mole of that substance. In other words, it tells you the number of grams per mole of a compound. The units for molar mass are, therefore, grams/mole. To find the molar mass of a compound: 1. Use the chemical formula to determine the number of each type of atom present in the compound. 2. Multiply the atomic weight (from the periodic table) of each element by the number of atoms of that element present in the compound. 3. Add it all together and put units of grams/mole after the number. Example: Find the molar mass of sodium carbonate, Na2CO3. Na 2 x 23.0 = 46.0 C 1 x 12.0 = 12.0 O 3 x 16.0 = 48.0 molar = 106.0 g/mole mass For many (but not all) problems, you can simply round the atomic weights and the molar mass to the nearest 0.1 g/mole. HOWEVER, make sure that you use at least as many significant figures in your molar mass as the measurement with the fewest significant figures. In other words, never let your molar mass be the measured value that determines how many signficant figures to use in your answer! Example: What is the molar mass of calcium nitrate, Ca(NO3)2? Ca 1 x 40.1 = 40.1 N 2 x 14.0 = 28.0 O 6 x 16.0 = 96.0 molar = 164.1 g/mol mass Notice that you must be very careful when you're counting the number of atoms present in this compound. The subscript "2" after the parentheses indicates that there are 2 nitrate - ions (NO3 ). In order to figure out how many N atoms are present, you must multiply the subscripts (in this case 1 x 2 = 2). In order to figure out how many O atoms are present, you must multiply the subscripts (in this case 3 x 2 = 6). Notice that the subscript outside the ( ) affects only the atoms inside the ( ) and not the Ca ion. Practice Problems Calculate the molar mass for each of the following compounds: 1. Fe2O3 2. AgNO3 3. Pb(Cr2O7)2 4. Ca(ClO4)2 1. The molar mass of Fe2O3 is 159.7 g/mol. Fe 2 x 55.85 = 111.70 O 3 x 16.0 = + 48.0 molar = 159.7 g/mol mass 2. The molar mass of AgNO3 is 169.9 g/mol. Ag 1 x 107.9 = 107.9 N 1 x 14.0 = 14.0 O 3 x 16.0 = + 48.0 molar 169.9 = mass g/mol 3. The molar mass of Pb(Cr2O7)2 is 639.2 g/mol. Pb 1 x 207.2 = 207.2 Cr 4 x 52.0 = 208.0 O 14 x 16.0 = + 224.0 molar 639.2 = mass g/mol 4. The molar mass of Ca(ClO4)2 is 239.1 g/mol. Ca 1 x 40.1 = 40.1 Cl 2 x 35.5 = 71.0 O 8 x 16.0 = + 128.0 molar 239.1 = mass g/mol Molar Mass Practice Worksheet Find the molar masses of the following compounds: 1) NaBr 2) PbSO4 3) Ca(OH)2 4) Na3PO4 5) (NH4)2CO3 6) C6H12O6 7) Fe3(PO4)2 8) (NH4)2S 9) Zn(C2H3O2)2 10) AgF Solutions to the Molar Mass Practice Worksheet: Important note to students: All of the units given here are “grams per mole”, which may be abbreviated as “g/mol”, “grams/mol”, or “g . mol-1”, depending on how your teacher likes to see it written. They all mean the same thing, but it’s probably a good idea to use whatever your teacher showed you in class. Also, remember that if you don’t use units in your answer, the answer is wrong! All answers are rounded to the nearest 0.1 grams. 1) 102.9 g/mol 2) 303.3 g/mol 3) 74.1 g/mol 4) 164.0 g/mol 5) 96.0 g/mol 6) 180.0 g/mol 7) 357.4 g/mol 8) 68.1 g/mol 9) 183.4 g/mol 10) 126.9 g/mol .

  • Mass Spectrometry: Quadrupole Mass Filter
    Advanced Lab, Jan. 2008 Mass Spectrometry: Quadrupole Mass Filter The mass spectrometer is essentially an instrument which can be used to measure the mass, or more correctly the mass/charge ratio, of ionized atoms or other electrically charged particles. Mass spectrometers are now used in physics, geology, chemistry, biology and medicine to determine compositions, to measure isotopic ratios, for detecting leaks in vacuum systems, and in homeland security. Mass Spectrometer Designs The first mass spectrographs were invented almost 100 years ago, by A.J. Dempster, F.W. Aston and others, and have therefore been in continuous development over a very long period. However the principle of using electric and magnetic fields to accelerate and establish the trajectories of ions inside the spectrometer according to their mass/charge ratio is common to all the different designs. The following description of Dempster’s original mass spectrograph is a simple illustration of these physical principles: The magnetic sector spectrograph PUMP F DD S S3 1 r S2 Fig. 1: Dempster’s Mass Spectrograph (1918). Atoms/molecules are first ionized by electrons emitted from the hot filament (F) and then accelerated towards the entrance slit (S1). The ions then follow a semicircular trajectory established by the Lorentz force in a uniform magnetic field. The radius of the trajectory, r, is defined by three slits (S1, S2, and S3). Ions with this selected trajectory are then detected by the detector D. How the magnetic sector mass spectrograph works: Equating the Lorentz force with the centripetal force gives: qvB = mv2/r (1) where q is the charge on the ion (usually +e), B the magnetic field, m is the mass of the ion and r the radius of the ion trajectory.

  • Determination of the Molar Mass of an Unknown Solid by Freezing Point Depression
    Determination of the Molar Mass of an Unknown Solid by Freezing Point Depression GOAL AND OVERVIEW In the first part of the lab, a series of solutions will be made in order to determine the freezing point depression constant, Kf, for cyclohexane. The freezing points of these solutions, which will contain known amounts of p-dichlorobenzene dissolved in cyclohexane, will be measured. In the second part of the lab, the freezing point of a cyclohexane solution will be prepared that contains a known mass of an unknown organic solid. The measured freezing point change will be used to calculate the molar mass of the unknown solid. Objectives and Science Skills • Understand and explain colligative properties of solutions, including freezing point depression. • Measure the freezing point of a pure solvent and of a solution in that solvent containing an unknown solute. • Calculate the molar mass of the unknown solute and determine its probable identity from a set of choices. • Quantify the expected freezing point change in a solution of known molality. • Quantitatively and qualitatively compare experimental results with theoretical values. • Identify and discuss factors or effects that may contribute to the uncertainties in values determined from experimental data. SUGGESTED REVIEW AND EXTERNAL READING • Reference information on thermodynamics; data analysis; relevant textbook information BACKGROUND If a liquid is at a higher temperature than its surroundings, the liquid's temperature will fall as it gives up heat to the surroundings. When the liquid's temperature reaches its freezing point, the liquid's temperature will not fall as it continues to give up heat to the surroundings.

IRMS Guide 1st Ed. 2011 Preface A few decades ago, mass spectrometry (by which I mean organic MS) was considered a “black art”. Its complex and highly expensive instruments were maintained and operated by a few dedicated technicians and its output understood by only a few academics. Despite, or because, of this the data produced were amongst the “gold standard” of analytical science. In recent years a revolution occurred and MS became an affordable, easy to use and routine technique in many laboratories. Although many (rightly) applaud this popularisation, as a consequence the “black art” has been replaced by a “black box”: SAMPLES GO IN → → RESULTS COME OUT The user often has little comprehension of what goes on “under the hood” and, when “things go wrong”, the inexperienced operator can be unaware of why (or even that) the results that come out do not reflect the sample that goes in.

Therefore, mass spectroscopy allows quantitation of atoms or molecules and provides structural information by the identification of distinctive fragmentation patterns.

Fragmentation of odd electron ions (OE+) generated by electron ionization (EI) was extensively studied in the last few decades, however there are only a few systematic reviews available concerning the fragmentation of even-electron ions (EE+/EE−) produced by the currently most common ionization techniques, electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI). This review summarizes the most important features of tandem mass spectra generated by collision-induced dissociation fragmentation and presents didactic examples for the unexperienced users. Keywords: tandem mass spectrometry; MS/MS fragmentation; collision-induced dissociation; CID; ESI; structure elucidation 1. Introduction Electron ionization (EI), a hard ionization technique, is the method of choice for analyses of small (<1000 Da), nonpolar, volatile compounds. As its name implies, the technique involves ionization by electrons with ~70 eV energy. This energy is high enough to yield very reproducible mass spectra with a large number of fragments. However, these spectra frequently lack the radical type molecular ions (M+) due to the high internal energy transferred to the precursors [1].

  • Mass Spectrometer
    CLASSICAL CONCEPT REVIEW 6 Mass Spectrometer One of several devices currently used to measure the charge-to-mass ratio q m of charged atoms and molecules is the mass spectrometer. The mass spectrometer is used to find the charge-to-mass ratio of ions of known charge by measuring> the radius of their circular orbits in a uniform magnetic field. Equation 3-2 gives the radius of R for the circular orbit of a particle of mass m and charge q moving with speed u in a magnetic field B that is perpendicular to the velocity of the particle. Figure MS-1 shows a simple schematic drawing of a mass spectrometer. Ions from an ion source are accelerated by an electric field and enter a uniform magnetic field produced by an electromagnet. If the ions start from rest and move through a poten- tial DV, their kinetic energy when they enter the magnetic field equals their loss in potential energy, qDV: B out 1 mu2 = qDV MS-1 2 R The ions move in a semicircle of radius R given by Equation 3-2 and exit through a P P narrow aperture into an ion detector (or, in earlier times, a photographic plate) at point 1 u 2 P2, a distance 2R from the point where they enter the magnet. The speed u can be eliminated from Equations 3-2 and MS-1 to find q m in terms of DV, B, and R.
