BASICS: ATOMIC, MOLECULAR, AND FORMULA WEIGHTS
• Gram-atomic weight for any element: It is the weight of Avogadro's number of atoms of that element • Gram-atomic weight of any element contains exactly the
same number of atoms of that element as there are carbon atoms in exactly 12 g of carbon- 12. This number is the Avogadro's number , 6.022 X 1023 atoms/g-at wt.
• None of the elements has an integral atomic weight; why? Since naturally occurring elements consist of mixtures of isotopes, the atomic weight of an element will be an average of the isotope weights of this element, taking into account their relative naturally occurring abundances.

DALTON (ATOMIC MASS UNIT, AMU)
• Atomic and molecular weights are generally expressed in
terms of atomic mass units (amu),or dalton. • The atomic mass unit, or dalton, is based upon a relative
scale in which the reference is the carbon-12 isotope which is assigned a mass of exactly 12 amu.
• Thus, the amu, or Da, is defined as 1/12 of the mass of one neutral C-12 atom.
• This definition makes 1 amu, or 1 Da, of carbon equal to

Mole
• To simplify calculations, chemists have developed the concept of the mole.
• The mole is Avogadro's number (6.022 X 1023) of atoms, molecules, ions or other species.
• 1mole of atoms, or molecules or formulas =
= Avogadro’s number of atoms or molecules or formulas
= mass (grams)of Avogadro’s number of atoms or molecules or formulas
= molar mass of atoms or molecules or formulas
• Formula weight (g/mole) = molar mass (mass of 1 mole of atoms or molecules or
ions expressed in grams)
• Mass (g) = # moles X formula mass (g/mol)

Millimole
# of milligrams = #millimoles X formula weight (mg/mmole)
Note: g/mole is the same as mg/mmole g/L is the same as mg/mL

millimoles per milliliter (mmole/mL)
M = #moles

#mmoles

#moles = M X volume (L)

Normality
• A one-normal solution, 1N, contains one equivalent of species per liter.
• An equivalent 'represents the mass of material providing Avogadro's number of reacting units.
• A reacting unit is a proton (H+) or an electron
• The number of equivalents
= # moles X # reacting units per molecule or atom
= # moles X (# protons or electrons involved in the reaction)
• The equivalent weight is the formula weight (molar mass) divided by the number of reacting units.
involved) electronsor protons (# units reacting #
mass)(molar weight formula # weight Equivalent
Normality in acid base reactions
• For acids and bases, the number of reacting units is based on the number of protons (i.e., hydrogen. ions) an acid will furnish or a base will react with H2S04, has two reacting units of protons; that is, there are two equivalents of protons in each mole.
• Therefore

Normality of H2S04 = M X number of protons = M (H2S04) X 2
Normality of base = M X number of OH- reacting with protons
Normality of Ca (OH)2 =M (base) X 2
Normality of acid = M X number of protons
Normality in oxidation reduction reactions
• For oxidation-reduction reactions normality calculations is based 'on the number, of electrons involved in an oxidizing or reducing agent (number of electrons gained or released)
Fe2+ + Ce 4+ → Fe 3+ + Ce 2+
• Normality of Fe2+ solution = M of Fe2+ X 1
• Normality of Ce4+ solution = M of Ce4+ X 2
In normality calculations, the number of equivalents is the number of
moles times the number of reacting units per molecule or atom.

Normality and equivalents
# equivalents (eq) = wt (g)
eq wt (g/eq) = N (eq/L)X volume (L)
# mequivalents (eq) = wt (mg)
eq wt (mg/meq) = N (meq/mL)X volume (mL)

Formality
• Chemists sometimes use the term formality for solutions of ionic salts that do not exist as molecules in the solid or in solution.
• The concentration is given as formal (F).
• Operationally, formality is identical to molarity.
• For convenience, we shall use molarity exclusively, a common practice.
Molality, m
• A one-molal solution contains one mole of species per 1000 g of solvent.
• Molal concentrations are not temperature dependent as molar and normal concentrations are (since the solvent volume in molar and normal concentrations is temperature dependent). Explain?
Molality = #moles
mass of solvent(kg)
Dilutions
• Stock standard solution are used to prepare a series of more dilute standards.
• The millimoles of stock solution taken for dilution will be identical to the millimoles in the final diluted solution .
# mmoles used before dilution = # mmoles after dilution
M stock(initial) X Vstock(initial) = M diluted(final) X Vdiluted(final)
M 1 X V1 = M 2 X V2
Example (dilution)
You have a stock 0.100 M solution of KMn04 and a series of I00-mL volumetric flasks. What volumes of the stock solution will you have to pipet into the flasks to prepare standards of 1.00, 2.00, 5.00, and 10.0 X 10-3 M KMn04 solutions?
M1 X V1 = M2 X V2
0.100 X V1 = 1.00X 10-3 X 100 ml (first flask)
ml 00 1. 0.100M

Similarly, the other solutions will need 2.00 and 5.00 and
10.0 ml of the stock solution
Density Calculations How do we convert to Molarity
• Density = mass solute /unit volume
• Specific Gravity = Dsolute/DH20
• DH2O = 1.00000 g/mL @ 4oC
• DH2O = 0.99821 g/mL @ 20oC
Example
How many milliliters of concentrated sulfuric 94% (g sulfuric acid/ 100g solution), density 1.831 g/ cm3 are required to prepare 1 liter of 0.100M solution? First calculate the molarity of the concentrated H2SO4 solution: To calculate molarity we have to find: # moles H2SO4 /liter solution, that is # g H2SO4 /liter solution
From density
1 ml solution weighs 1.831 g solution

= 1831 g solution X solution 100

L 1 X M 1.0 = 0.0057L

Analytical and equilibrium concentrations
• The analytical concentration represents the concentration of total dissolved substance, i.e., the sum of all species of the substance in solution = Cx
• An equilibrium concentration is that of a given dissolved form of the substance = [X].
• For ions of strong electrolytes, NaCl
CNa+= CCl- = CNaCl ; [Na+] = [Cl-] = [NaCl]
• For ions of weak electrolytes, HOAc
C H+ = COAc- ≠ CHOAc (It depends upon the degree of dissociation)
Example
• What volume of 0.40 M Ba(OH)2 must be added to 50 mL of 0.30 M NaOH to give a solution 0.50 M in OH-?
