Chapter 3 Flashcards
Avogadro’s Number
Experimentally determined value of the number of entities comprising 1 mole of substance equal to 6.022 x 10^23
Aqueous Solution
Solution for which water is the solvent
Empirical Formula Mass
Sum of average atomic masses for all atoms represented in an empirical formula
Formula Mass
Sum of the average masses for all atoms represented in a chemical formula; for covalent compounds this is also the molecular mass
Mass Percentage
Ratio of solute-to-solution mass expressed as a percentage
Mass-Volume Percent
Ratio of solute mass to solution volume, expressed as a percentage
Molar Mass
Mass in grams of 1 mole of a substance
Mole
Amount of substance containing the same number of atoms, molecules, ions, and other entities as the number of atoms
Percent Composition
Percentage by mass of the various elements in a compound
Solute
Solution component present in a concentration less than that of the solvent
Solvent
Solution component present in a concentration that is higher relative to other components
Volume Percentage
Ratio of solute-to-solution volume expressed as a percentage
Concentrated
Qualitative term for a solution containing solute at a relatively high concentration
Dilute
Qualitative term for a solution containing solute at a relatively low concentration
Dilution
Process of adding solvent to a solution in order to lower the concentration of solutes
