Define relative atomic mass (Ar)?
RAM is the average mass of an atom of an element compared with 1/12 of the mass of an atom of carbon-12
What is the formula for calculating Ar?
Ar= Average mass of an element
————————————————
1/12 the mass of 1 atom of carbon-12
Define relative atomic mass (Mr)?
Mr is the sum of the Ar’s of all the atoms in a molecule
What is the formula to calculate Mr?
Mr = average mass of 1 molecule of an element or compound/ one twelfth mass of 1 atom of carbon 12
What is 1/12 the mass of 1 carbon-12 atom?
1
To calculate the relative formula mass (Mf) what is the formula?
It’s the same as for the Mr
One mole of carbon-12 atoms has a mass of?
12.000g
State Avogadro’s constant?
6.023 x 10 23( the power)
State the ideal gas equation
PV=nRT
P=pressure
V=volume
n=moles
R=gas constant
T=temperature
State the gas constant
8.31JK-1mol-1
Why can gas be liquified ( under the right conditions)?
In ideal gas there are no intermolecular forces so particles are not attracted to each other whereas the in real gas attractive intermolecular forces divert the paths of particles.
What is Boyle’s law?
At constant temperature (T) the volume (V) of a fixed mass of gas is said to be inversely proportional to the pressure (p) applied to it
P x V= constant
State Charles law?
At constant pressure the volume of a fixed mass of gas is proportional to its temperature
V= constant x T
What is the absolute zero temperature and how was it proved?
-273.15*C
FOUND by plotting volumes of most gases against temp and extrapolating which shows that they all reach zero volume at the same temperature
You must always convert to Kelvin (K) when doing idea gas equations, how do you do that?
+273 to anything with a degrees Celsius
