What is relative atomic mass
Is the average mass of an atom of an element compared with 1/12th the mass of one atom of carbon 12
What is relative molecular mass
Is the sum of the relative atomic masses of all the atoms in a molecule
What is relative formula mass
Is the sum of the atoms that make a formula unit of a compound with a giant structure
What are ideal gases
Gases that have point-like particles in random motion. The particles do not react on collision, undergo elastic collisions and there are no inter molecular forces between them
What is the ideal gas equation
pV = nRT p (pressure - Pa) V (volume - dm^3) n (number of moles) R (molar gas constant) T (temperature - K)
How many particles does 1 mole contain
6.023x10^23
What does the empirical formula give
The simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element used to make a compound
What is a molecular formula
The actual number of atoms each element used to make a molecule
What is the chemical formula
An element or a compound with a giant structure is the number of atoms of each element used to make a formula unit
Units of concentration
moldm^-3
Moles =
Concentration X volume
Mass/Mr
What is a volumetric solution
One in which the concentration is known
What is a titration used for
To find an unknown volume or concentration of reactant
