3.3 The mole and the Avogadro constant Flashcards
The formula of an ionic compound
To write the formula for an ionic compound, write the symbol of the positive ion and then the symbol of the negative ion. Add the subscripts that are needed to balance the charges. You need to show many electrons where taken(-) or given(+)
Equations of chemical reactions
Word equation: Display of a chemical using the names of the (reactants–>products)
Symbol equation: Display of a chemical using symbols of the (reactants–>products)
Molecular Formula
Is the number and type of different atoms in one molecule (NaCl)
Balancing equations
A symbol that shows that for every element present there is an equal amount of atoms both sides of the equation
Empirical formula
The simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound or molecules (H2O2–>OH)
Relative molecular mass
The sum of the relative atomic masses of the element within a compound or molecule
Calculating reacting masses
The total mass of reactants = The Total mass of products
Due to the conservation of mass
Relative atomic mass
The average mass of an element on a scale in which the carbon 12 atom has a mass of exactly 12u
Avogadro constant
the number of particles in one mole of a substance. 6.022x10*23
How to calculate the amount of a substance
To calculate the amount of substance=Mass÷Molar mass
Molar mass
The mass of one mole of a compound. Mr= mass dived by number of moles
Molar gas volume
Gas volume= Number of moles÷24
Molecular formula
A symbol that identifies the actual amount of each atom in a molecule or compound
1 dm3 in ml, litre and cm3
1000ml
1L
1000cm*3
How to calculate the amount of a substance
To calculate the amount of substance=Mass÷Molar mass
