Density and Moles

Density
  • is a measure of mass per volume 
  • measure in G/L or G/ML
ex. water has a density of 1.0g/mL

How many moles are in 11.5 mL of water?
11.5 mL x 1mol/ 18g = .64 mol

Density of gases (STP)
  • The density of gases varies with temperature
  • At STP we can find density by: MM/ 22.4 L/mol 
    • molar mass/ molar volume
  • density of gases 02 @ STP
2(16) = 32g/mol / 22.4L/mol = 1.43 g/l
