ch 6- quantifying atoms and compounds Flashcards
What is an isotope(n.)
Atoms of the same element that have a different mass due to a different number of neutrons.
Relative isotopic mass Ir(n.)
Relative isotopic mass Ir(n.)=The mass of the isotope on the scale in which the relative isotopic mass of a carbon-12 atom is assigned a value of 12 exactly.
-Relative isotopic mass is the mass of a single isotope with a specific mass of an element.
-The relative isotopic abundance is the percentage of atoms with a specific atomic mass found in a naturally occurring sample of an element
Is there units in relative mass
there are no units because it is a relative mass.
Is the relative atomic mass on the periodic table.
The relative atomic mass is on the bottom of elements on periodic table
Relative atomic mass Ar(n.)
Weighted average of the masses of an element’s isotopes on a scale on which the mass of a carbon-12 atom is assigned a value of 12 exactly.
Relative atomic mass formula
Relative atomic mass Ar formula=
Ar=Σ(%abundance x Ir)/100
-Ar=Relative atomic mass
-Ir=relative isotopic mass
Relative molecular mass Mr(n.)
Weighted average of a molecule’s masses of the formula units on a scale on which the mass of a carbon-12 atom is assigned a value of 12 exactly.
Relative molecular mass formula/relative formula mass
Relative molecular mass formula/relative formula mass e.g. Of carbon monoxide=
Mr(CO)=Ar(C) + Ar(O)
Mr(CO)=12.0 + 16.0
Mr(CO)=28.0 no unitsss.
What is mass spectrometry(n.)
Analytical technique used to measure the mass of ions relative to their charge
:in mass spectrometry, a sample of an element is put into a mass spectrometer. The output is a mass spectrum.
What are the features of a mass spectrum graph(AKA a mass spectrograph, but don’t quote me on it hahahaha)
A mass spectrum=
:Y axis= Relative abundance(%)
:X axis=Mass-to-charge ration (m/z)
:each individual peak represents a new isotope of an element or element all together.
-Mass-to-charge ratio m/z(n.)
The mass of an ion divided by its charge. Mass-to-charge ratio is shown as m/z but is sometimes seen as m/e^-
Mole(n.)
6.02x10^23 entities
Moles is represented as NA
Entities(n.)
Atoms, molecules, compounds, ions, electrons.
What is moles unit
mol
Avogadro’s constant, NA(n.)
The number of atoms in exactly 12g of C-12, 6.02 x 10^23 mol^-1
Relationship of mol to Avogadro’s constant formula
Relationship of mol to Avogadro’s constant(formula)
N=N/NA
-Where:
-n=amount of substance in mole (mol)
-N=number of particles e.g. atoms, molecules, ions, electrons
-NA=Avogadro’s constant, 6.02 x 10^23
Density formula
Density= mass/volume
Or
d=m/v
Relative molecular mass(n.)
Weighted average of a molecule’s masses of the formula units on a scale on which the mass of a carbon-12 atom is assigned a value of 12 exactly.
Molar mass(n.)
the mass in g of one mol of substance, g mol^-1
Relative molecular mass formula
Relative molecular formula e.g. Of water
Mr(H2O)=Ar(2xH) + Ar(1xO)
Mr(H2O)=(2x1.0) + (16.0X1)
Mr(H2O)=18.0 no unitsss
Molar mass formula
Molar mass formula e.g. Of water
Mr(H2O)=M(2xH) + M(1xO)
Mr(H2O)=(2x1.0g mol^-1) + (1x16.0g mol^-1)
Mr(H2O)=18.0g mol^-1
Relative molecular mass symbol
Mr
Molar mass symbol
M
Units of relative molecular mass
No units
Units of molar mass
The units of molar mass are g mole^-1
Relationship of mass to mole(formula)
Relationship of mass to mole(formula)
N=m/M
-n=amount of substance, in mole (mol)
-m=mass, in grams, g
-M=Molar mass, g mole^-1
Note=use molar mass instead of relative molecular mass when calculating the amount of substance in mol.
Percentage composition(n.)
Percentage by mass of an element in a compound.
Formula for percentage composition by mass
Percentage composition by mass(formula)
Compound=(Molar mass of element/Molar mass of compound)X100
Steps for calculating percentage composition
Relationship between the number and amount of particles
When solving problems use these following problem-solving strategies:
1)Underline key information in the stem of the question
2)What is the question asking you to find or calculate
3)Which equation should you use?
4)Do you need to transpose the equation?
5)Substitute in the values
6)Report you answer to the appropriate number of significant figures
Empirical formula(n.)
The simplest ratio of elements in a compound.
empirical formula also abbreviated to (EF)
What does empirical mean
by experiment’
Molecular formula(n.)
The actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule.
What are the steps to determine the molecular formula
Steps to determine the molecular formula=
-If you know the molar mass and the empirical formula of the molecule, you can determine the molecular formula using the following steps.=
1)Determine molar mass of EF
2)Divide the molar mass of the molecule by the molar mass of EF
3)Multiply the EF by the number obtained in step 2
