2.C – Conserving Matter
When a car’s gas empties, where do the atoms in the gasoline go?
Keeping Track of Atoms
Law of Conservation of Matter: Matter is neither created nor destroyed.
Since chemical reactions cannot create or destroy atoms, chemical equations representing the reactions must always be BALANCED.
Atomic Perspective:
C O2 CO2
1 Carbon atom 1 oxygen molecule 1 carbon dioxide molecule
1. What are the reactants in this chemical equation?
2. What are the products in this chemical equation?
3. Are there the same number of atoms on both sides of the equation?
a. Where any atoms destroyed or created?
b. Was the Law of Conservation of Matter maintained?
2 Cu (s) + O2 (g) 2 CuO (s)
COEFFICIENTS - indicates the number of units of each substance involved.
1. Does the oxygen molecule have a coefficient?
2. What do the subscripts represent?
3. Can subscripts be removed from chemical equations?
How do we Balance Equations?

C.5 The Mole Concept

Mole – SI unit for counting
Adopted from "Chemistry You Need to Know" by Kelly Deters
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

How big is a mole? Enough soft drink cans to cover the
surface of the earth to a depth of over 200 miles.
If you had Avogadro's number of unpopped popcorn kernels, and spread them across the United States of America, the country would be covered in popcorn to a depth of over 9 miles.
If we were able to count atoms at the rate of 10 million per second, it would take about 2 billion years to count the atoms in one mole.

A Mole of ParticlesA Mole of Particles Contains 6.02 x 1023 particles
1 mole C = 6.02 x 1023 C atoms
1 mole H2O = 6.02 x 1023 H2O molecules
1 mole NaCl= 6.02 x 1023 NaCl “molecules”
(technically, ionics are compounds not molecules so they are called formula units)
6.02 x 1023 Na+ ions and 6.02 x 1023 Cl– ions
Adopted from "Chemistry You Need to Know" by Kelly Deters
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!
