4th Six Weeks Flashcards
hydrate
a compound, typically a crystalline one, in which water molecules are chemically bound to another compound or an element.
mole
The mass of substance containing the same number of fundamental units as there are atoms in exactly 12.000 g of 12C. Fundamental units may be atoms, molecules, or formula units, depending on the substance concerned.
Avogadro’s Number
6.02*10^23
molar mass
the mass of a given substance (chemical element or chemical compound) divided by its amount of substance. The base SI unit for molar mass is kg/mol. However, for historical reasons, molar masses are almost always expressed in g/mol.
percent composition
the percentage of a formula mass represented by each element. Percentage composition compares the mass of one part of a substance to the mass of the whole.
empirical formula
a formula giving the proportions of the elements present in a compound but not the actual numbers or arrangement of atoms; smallest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound
molecular formula
a formula giving the number of atoms of each of the elements present in one molecule of a specific compound; a whole number multiple of empirical formula
yield
The amount of product obtained in a chemical reaction.
