Convert the following values:

? mL = 3.0 g ( 1 mL ) = 4.3 mL
(0.70 g )
Remember that density is always some number of
grams in 1 mL. When converting volume to weight,
you multiply by the density but when converting
weight to volume, you have to divide and that
means flipping the values over in the conversion
problem, as shown above.

Some random
calculations
Always in a reaction, organic chemists are
calculating the amounts of reagents required, the
limiting reagent, theoretical yield and percent yield
(because we never get 100%!) so these would be
useful for you to be able to do.
Consider the following:
Compound X has a
molecular weight of 100.0 g/mol and a density of
2.0 g/mL. Determine the number of moles in 30.0 g
of Compound X.
Then determine the number of milliliters in 30.0 g of
Compound X.
And to be sure you have it all under control,
determine the number of grams in 3.5 moles of
Compound X.
19
Calculations
To determine moles, divide by MW:
? mol X = 30.0 g (1 mol ) = 0.300 mole X
(100.0 g)
To determine milliliters, divide by density:
? mL X = 30.0 g (1 mL) = 15 mL X
( 2.0 g)
To determine grams, multiply by MW:
? g X = 3.5 moles (100.0 g) = 350 g X or 3.5x102 g X
(1 mole)

Equation Calculations
Consider the following balanced equation:
Compound X
catalyst
Compound Y
21
Equation Calculations
Consider the next equation:
Compound A
catalyst
2 Compound B
22
Equation Calculations
Since 1 mole of A forms 2 moles of B, then to form 6
moles of B you must start with 3 moles of A:
? mol A = 6 mol B (1 mol A) = 3 mol A
(2 mol B)
The equation must be balanced first before doing
these types of conversion problems

Equation Calculations
Consider the following balanced equation:
Compound X
catalyst
Compound Y

Equation Calculations
Conversion Problem: To convert grams to moles, you
must use the molecular weight
? mol X = 5.00 g X (1 mole X) = 0.0625 mol X
(80.0 g X)
Since Compound X is the only reagent in the
reaction, it must be the limiting reagent. How many
moles of Compound Y can possibly be formed from
5.00 g of Compound X?
Need to consider that balanced equation again
25
Equation Calculations
The ratio of this equation is 1:1 for Compounds X and Y.

Youll need to find that MW for Compound Y (50.0

Equation Calculations
One more conversion problem:
If you use 10.0 g of Compound A, what will be the
theoretical yield of Compound B? (Show how to set
up the conversion problem)
In this problem, Compound A has a molecular
weight of 100.0 g/mol and Compound B has a
molecular weight of 200.0 g/mol.
Balanced Equation:
Compound A
28
catalyst
2 Compound B
Equation Calculations
Solution: Keep in mind the 1 : 2 ratio between A and B.
? g B = 10.0 gA (1 mol A) (2 mole B) (200 g B) = 40.0 g B
(100 g A) (1mole A)

Mole Ratios
So weve reviewed calculations for reactions. The
importance of a balance chemical equation should be
obvious, since that relationship between compounds
is a mole ratio that you need to know to complete
these calculations.
Just because its not obviously stated (or so it would
seem after all these years), its probably not a bad
time to point out that even a chemical formula is a
mole ratio, only this time its a mole ratio of
elements.
There are two types of formulas this applies to:
empirical formulas and molecular formulas.
Whats the difference between the two?
30
Mole Ratios
An Empirical Formula is the smallest whole number
ratio of elements in a compound (molecule). That
smallest whole number ratio is actually a MOLE ratio.
Empirical formulas are determined through a process
called combustion analysis (or elemental analysis)
where a compound is burned in the presence of
oxygen and the amount of H2O and CO2 that form are
measured and percentages of elemental amounts are
determined. Well review that later in the semester
when we need to.
For now, just answer this:
If the empirical formula is C4H8O, how many moles of
carbon atoms are in one mole of C4H8O?
31
Mole Ratios
If the empirical formula is C4H8O, how many moles of
carbon atoms are in one mole of C4H8O?
If you simply assume you have one mole (remember
no coefficient means 1 mole), then the formula is
telling you that in this one mole of C4H8O, there are
four moles of carbon, eight moles of hydrogen and
(look no number again!) one mole of oxygen.
Take it to the next level What if you have 3 moles of
C4H8O? How many moles of hydrogen would you
have?
You can even set up a conversion problem, if it makes
more sense
32
Mole Ratios
What if you have 3 moles of C 4H8O? How many moles
of hydrogen would you have?
? Mol H = 3 mol C4H8O ( 8 mol H
(1 mol C4H8O)
) = 24 mol H

Mole Ratios
Unfortunately, you are still limited when you only
know a molecular formula. The compound C6H12 has
many possible shapes:
