2.1.3 Amounts of Substance Flashcards
avogadros number (NA)
6.02 x 10 (23)
define mole
the amount of substance with contains as many elementary particles as there are atoms in exactly 12g of carbon-12
how do you covert moles into the number of particles in a substance
moles = number of particles / 6.02 x 10 (23)
define molar mass
the mass of one mole of substance. its units are (gmol-1)
how do you calculate the percentage by mass of an element in a compound?
% by mass = (mass number x mass of element) x100
relative molecular mass
what is relative formula mass/ molecular mass
the relative atomic mass of an element in a compound x the mass of the element in the compound
what is the empirical formula
the simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element present in a compound
what is the molecular formula
the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule
what are the units of molar mass
gmol-1
equation for finding the amount of moles in a substance
moles = mass / Ar, Mr, RFM
how do you calculate the mass of a substance using the moles
mass = moles x Ar, Mr, RFM
how do you convert the number of particles into moles
number or particles = moles x 6.02 x10(23)
what’s the equation for finding the multiple to work out molecular formula from empirical formula
multiple = molar mass / EFM
equation for moles of a gas
n(gas) = v(dm3) / 24
n(gas) = v(cm3) / 24,000
equation for volume of gas
v(dm3) = n x 24
v(cm3) = n x 24,000
