Amount Of Substance Flashcards
What is the amount of substance?
The number of chemical species the substance contains (mol)
What is Avogadros constant?
The number of carbon atoms in 12g of carbon-12.
What is a mole?
The amount of any substance containing as many particles as there are carbon atoms in 12g of carbon 12
How do you work out the number of particles?
=n x Na
Mol X avagadros constant
What is the molar mass (M)?
The mass of 1 mole of a substance gmol-1
Relative molecular mass/atomic mass in Grams
Equation to work at moles using mass?
n=m/M
What is the empirical formula?
The simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element within a compound
What is the molecular formula?
The actual number of atoms of each element within a compound
What is the equation to work out the molecular formula?
Relative molecular mass/ relative empirical mass
Then X by the empirical formula
What is Avogadro’s hypothesis?
Equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of particles
What is the Molar Volume?
The volume of one mole or gas and is the same for all gases at the same temp and pressure (24.0 dm3, 24000cm3)
How do you work out the moles of a gas at RTP?
n= V(dm3)/ 24.0
What is the ideal gas equation?-include all units
pV=nRT p- pressure (Pa) V- volume (m3) n- moles (mol) R- gas constant 8.314 JK-1mol-1 T- temp (K) (+273)
What is an ideal gas?
- Volume of molecules in negligible compared to size of container
- No intermolecular forces between separate molecules, widely separated
- Collisions are elastic so kinetic energy of molecules remain constant
- Molecules move continuously and randomly
What is the ideal gas equation using Mr?
pV=mRT/Mr
