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
