2.1 ATOMS & REACTIONS Flashcards
Relative mass and charge of protons, neutrons and electrons.
Define isotope
- Atoms of the same element with same proton number, different number of neutrons and different masses
Define relative atomic mass , Ar
The weighted mean mass of an atom compared to 1/12th the mass of a carbon-12 atom
Define relative isotopic mass
The mass of an atom of an isotope compared to 1/12th the mass of a carbon-12 atom
Relative atomic mass , Ar equation for isotopic mass spectrometry?
Chromium ion
Nitrate ion
Carbonate ion
Sulfate ion
Ammonium ion
Zinc ion
Silver ion
Define the term molar mass , Mr
- The mass in grams of any substance that equals 1 mole, (e.g 12g of carbon, 16g of oxygen)
- 12g (Mr) of carbon = 1 mole
- 16g (Mr) of oxygen = 1 mole
Define the term Avogardos constant
- 6.02×10^23
- this is the number of particles in one mole of any substance
- 1 mole of ANYTHING = 6.02×10^23 particles
Define the term mole
- the amount of any substance that has the same number of particles as 12g of carbon-12 isotope (6.02 x 10^23)
Equation for moles, mass, Mr
Equation for molar gas volume (RTP)
Define empirical formula
- The simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound
Define molecular formula
- The actual whole number ratio of atoms in a compound
What is a salt?
- Ionic compounds with metal cation/ammonium cations and anions derived from acid
Define hydrated crystal

Define anhydrous crystal
- A crystal without water
Define water of crystalisation
- The number of water molecules in ratio to the crystal compound
Equation for concentration, volume, moles
Equation for concentration, volume, mass
Equation for ideal gas equation and their meanings
p = Pressure (Pa)
V = Volume (m^3)
n = Moles

Why is working at high atom economy desirable?
- More cost-efficient as more desired product is formed in ratio to by-products
