5.2 Flashcards
what is molar mass
the mass per mole of any substance (g/mol)
moles = mass/molar mass
define a mole
the amount of substance that contains the same number of particles as the number of carbon atoms in 12g of the carbon 12 isotope
define spectator ions
ions in an ionic compound that do not take part in the reaction
what are coefficients
the numbers written in front of a species when balancing an equation
define hydrates
compounds containing water of crystallisation
what is Avogadro’s law
equal volumes of gas under the same conditions of temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules
what is molar volume
the volume occupied by 1 mol of any gas
what is the equation for molar volume (Vm)
Vm = 24dm^3 at constant RT + P
