AMOUNT OF SUBSTANCE Flashcards
how to find the concentration
number of moles/ volume of solution
define relative atomic mass
Average mass of one atom compared to 1/12th of mass of atom of carbon 12
define relative molecular mass
average mass of molecule compared to 1/12th of mass of one atom of carbon 12
how to find the number of moles
mass of substance/ molar mass
what is avogadro’s constant
6.022x10^23
how to find the concentration
number of moles/ volume of solution
what is the ideal gas equation
PV=NRT
how to find the number of particles
moles of substance x Avogadro’s constant
define empirical formula
simplest whole number ration of atoms in each element in a compound
how to find the empirical formula
work out empirical mass, divide molecular mass by the empirical mass, multiply the empirical mass by the number of units
how to find percentage
change percentage to grams assuming it is 100g, calculate the moles of each element in the compound, find the empirical formula by dividing the number of moles by the lowest number present
how to calculate the molecular formula from the empirical formula and relative molecular mass,
calculate the molar mass of the empirical formula, divide the molecular mass by the molar mass calculated from the empirical formula and multiply each answer by a whole number
what does a chemical reaction indicate
species that are involved in the reaction and show the way they react
define high atom economy
efficient conversions so reactant is maximised to form the total products
