Amount of Substance 2.1.3 Flashcards
When do we use the term Mole
-When counting atoms we use the term mole (abbreviation mol)
Define Mole
A mole is the amount of substance that has the same number of particles as there are carbon atoms in exactly 12.0g of carbon 12
Define Avogadro’s Constant
The number of atoms in 12.0g of 12C , 6.022 x1023
What is the Avogadro’s Constant number
6.022 x10 to the power of 23
What is molar mass
-The mass of one mole of a substance (g)
What are the units for Molar Mass
units= g per mole to the power of -1
Define Mole
The number of particles in exactly 12.0g of 12C
What does n represent
We use the letter n (lower case) to represent :
the amount of substance in moles. i.e. number of moles and the units ‘mol’
Formulae with Moles:
For mass:
n = m/M
moles= mass/ molar mass
n= moles
m= mass
M= Relative Formula mass or Mr
Formulae with Moles:
For volume of gases:
n = v/Vm
moles=volume/ molar volume
n= moles
v= Volume
Vm= 24000cm3 or 24dm3
Formulae with Moles:
For concentration of solutions:
n = cV
moles= Concentration x volume
n= moles
c= concentration
V= volume
Why is the molar volume always 24000cm3 or 24 dm3
Because gas has weak/no inter-molecular forces between particles and particles are far apart moving in all directions, the same number of particles of any gas will take up the same volume (space) at the same temperature and pressure
Volume of gas is affected by…
Temperature and pressure
What is the molar volume for gas at room temperature and pressure in dm3
Molar volume for gas at room temp. and pressure is 24dm3 mol-1
What do you do to get from cm3 into dm3
-cm3 —-> dm3 you divide by 1000
What is the unit for Concentration
Concentration of moles units: mol dm-3
What formula do you use to find the number of particles of a substance
Number of particles = n x NA
n= moles
Na= Avogadro’s Constant
What is a hygroscopic substance
They absorb water from the atmosphere e.g. NaCl known as Sodium Chloride
Give an example of a hygroscopic substances
NaCl
What is an anhydrous compound
-An anhydrous compound is one which has no water molecules inside of it
How can you make a substance anhydrous
Give 2 examples
-To make an anhydrous substance you can either :
-heat it to evaporate off the water
- you can dry it in a drying cabinet
If a compound is hydrated, what are the two ways to write its formula
1) Empirical formula
OR
2) Dot formula
What is an empirical formula
A formula that shows the simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element present in a compound
Give an example of how we can use dot formula

=8.0 mol
Calculate the mass in g, of 0.050 mol of NO2
n=m/M

When blue crystals of hydrated copper (II) sulphate are heated what happens to the bonds and what happens to the Copper (II) sulphate as a result
The bonds holding the water within the crystal are broken and the water is driven off, leaving behind white anhydrous copper (II) sulphate.
Why is it difficult to heat and remove the last traces of water from the anhydrous copper (II) sulphate
Because we don’t want to break the compound down only the water within the crystalline structure
How could you carry out an experiment to determine the water of crystallization in hydrated crystals
This experiment uses hydrated copper (II) sulphate but you can use it for any hydrated salt
Step 1: Weigh an empty and dry crucible
Step 2: Add the hydrated salt into the weighed crucible. Weigh the crucible and the hydrated salt, make sure to write down these results
Step 3: Using a pipe-clay triangle, support the crucible containing the hydrated salt on a tripod. Heat the crucible and its contents gently for about 1 minute. Then heat it strongly for a further 3 minutes, lifting the lid every minute usin tongs to let some of that water evaporate and see the color change of the salt from when it was hydrous to anhydrous
Step 4: Leave the crucible to cool. Then weigh the crucible and anhydrous salt
Use the results below to Calculate the water present in the crystalline structure of the Copper (II) Sulphate
Mass of crucible/ g ——->18.742
Mass of crucible +
hydrated salt / g——> 28.726
Mass of crucible+
anhydrous salt / g——> 25.126
Step1: Calculate the amount in mol of anhydrous copper (ii) sulphate
Mass of CuSO4 formed=
25.126-18.742= 6.384 g
Moles= mass/Mr
moles= 6.384/159.6
Anhydrous CuSO4 = 0.0400 mol
Step 2: Calculate the mass and amount in water
mass of H2O formed:
= 28.726-25.126= 3.600 g
moles (H2O)= 3.600/18.0
= 0.200 mol
Step 3: Find the smallest whole number ratio
n(CuSO4) : n(H20) =
0.0400 : 0.200
1 : 5
Step 4: Write down the value of x and the formula for hydrated copper sulphate
x= 5 so the formula is
CuSO4. 5H20
Do example of water crystallization on bottom right hand side of page 24 in year 1 AS Chemistry Kerboodle textbook
What is the first assumption you have to be make in the experiment to determine the water of crystallization of hydrated salts and how can we overcome this problem
Assumption1= All of the water has been lost ( you only see the surface of the crystals therefore we don’t know if water was left inside, it is not easy especially if the hydrated and anhydrous forms are similar colors)
Solution 1= To heat to constant mass/ concordant results, when crystals are reheated until no change in mass it suggests all water has been removed
What is the second assumption you have to be make in the experiment to determine the water of crystallization of hydrated salts
Assumption 2= No further decomposition, ( many salts decompose further when heated )
This can be very difficult to judge if there is no color change
e.g. if heated very strongly Copper(II) Sulphate decomposes to form black Copper(II) Oxide.

What is the empirical formula of a compound that contains 27.3% carbon and 72.7% oxygen by mass?
Step 1 :Find, and write down the relative atomic masses of the elements involved.
Ar (C) = 12 and Ar (O) = 16
Step 2 : Assume that you have 100g of the compound (this makes the maths easy)
Step 3 Work out how many moles of each element this must be using Moles= mass/Mr
Moles = 27.3/12
Moles in Carbon = 2.275
Moles=72.7/16
Moles in Oxygen= 4.55
Step 4 Divide both numbers of moles by the smallest number (2.275 in this case).
Moles in Carbon = 2.275/2.275 = 1
Moles in Oxygen = 4.55/2.275 = 2
In the empirical formula, there are 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, so it is CO2.
