Molar Relationships: What Are the Identities of the Unknown Compounds? The purpose of the experiment was to identify unknown compounds using knowledge on the concept of mole. The guiding question for this experiment is what are the identities of the unknown compounds? The numbers of moles and the identities of the compounds are the only given. To be able to identify the compounds the mass, molar mass and the number of moles will be needed. Molar mass is the quantity in grams of one mole of a substance. The molar mass is found by adding the number of grams of each element to find the total amount of grams per mole. For example CaH2 has the elements of Calcium which has the molar mass of (40.078g/mole) and two Hydrogen which is (2 x 1.0079 g/mol).When the mass of both elements are added the molar mass of CaH2 is 42.0938g/mol.Moles are really important because it allows chemist to be able to have a standardize meausment which gives them the chance to compare compounds. …show more content…

To calculate the experimental mass the substance of each bag and the bag its self was measured using a balance. After gathering the mass subtract the mass of the empty bag to the mass of the unknown substance, in order to just have the mass of the substance. Afterward the mass of the unknown substance was divided by the number of moles recorded on the bag of the substance. The measurements are displayed on the table
