1.1-1.3 quiz Flashcards
how to find percent composition
1) multiply # of atoms by atomic mass to find mass/ element
2) sum results to find total formula mass
3) divide mass of each element by total mass and multiply by 100% to find percent of each element
what does same empirical formula mean
same…
same percent composition by mass
lowest whole number ratio of atoms
empirical formula
actual # or atoms formula
chemical or molecular formula
how to find # of neutrons
mass - atomic number(protons) = neutrons
what is mass spectroscopy used for?
to calculate atomic mass
identifiy isotopes in element
find abundance in nature
how to find empirical formulation
get rid of percent sign
match up to element and divide by actually grams of element on periodic table
then divide by lowest number of the two
then multiply those two numbers by the formula to get your answer
how to find chemical/ molecular formula
divide molar mass by empirical formula mass to find factor
then multiply all subscripts in the empirical formula by the answer
what number is used for formula units
avogadro’s number
6.02 * 10^23
how to find average atomic mass
multiply relative abundance of isotope by mass of isotope
do that for each isotope then add them all up at the end to match it to an element in the periodic table by the # if grams
( for spectroscopy concert percentage yo demi al by moving decimal point)
grams to atoms CO2 (what do you need to pay attention to)
oxygen has 2 so 2 mol O
how to find empirical formula when given a formula
ex. c2SO4
you would simplify but this one can’t be simplified since O is already 1
