This document provides information about calculating moles, mass, and relative atomic mass (Mr). It gives the relative atomic masses of several elements. It then works through examples of calculating the mass of a given number of moles of different compounds and the number of moles given a mass of different compounds. These include ammonia (NH3), methane (CH4), calcium carbonate (CaCO3), and magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2). It concludes by calculating the relative formula mass of an unknown substance given its mass and number of moles.

Moles = Mass ÷ Mr
Questions Mass = Moles x Mr
Relative atomic masses (Ar): H 1; C 12; N 14; O 16; Mg 24; Ca 40 1 Calculate the mass of one mole of each of the following substances: Mr = Sum of the mass a Ammonia, NH3 numbers in a compound 14 + (1 x 3) = 17
b Methane, CH4 12 + (1 x 4) = 16
c Calcium carbonate, CaCO3
40 + 12 + (16 x 3) = 100
d Magnesium hydroxide, Mg (OH)2. (4 marks)
24 + (16 x 2) + (1 x 2) = 58
2 a Calculate the mass of the following:
i 3 moles of ammonia Mr: 17 Mass: 17 x 3 = 51
ii 4.5 moles of methane
Mr: 16 Mass = 16 x 4.5 = 72
iii 0.2 moles of calcium carbonate
Mr: 100 Mass: 100 x 0.2 = 20
iv 1.4 moles of magnesium hydroxide. (4 marks)
Mr: 50 Mass: 50 x 1.4 = 70
bCalculate the number of moles in the following:
i 136 g of ammonia Mass: 136g Mr: 17 Moles: 136 / 17 = 8.059 (3dp)
ii 160 g of methane Mass: 160g Mr: 16 Moles: 160 / 16 = 10
iii 250 g of calcium carbonate
Mass: 250g Mr: 100 Moles: 250 / 100 = 2.5 (1dp) iv 2.9 g of magnesium hydroxide. (4 marks) Mass: 2.9g Mr: 50 Moles: 2.9 / 50 = 0.058 (3dp)
c 15.3 g of an unknown substance was found to contain 0.15 moles.
Calculate the relative formula mass of the substance. (1 mark) Mass: 15.3g Moles: 0.15 Mr: 15.3 x 0.15 = 2
