Chemistry Flashcards
What is the definition of Atomic Number?
Number of protons in an atom
The atomic number determines the element’s identity.
What is the definition of Mass Number?
Number of protons plus neutrons in an atom
This is used to calculate the atomic mass.
What does Atomic Mass represent?
Weighted average of isotopes
It accounts for the relative abundance of each isotope.
What is the formula for the Ideal Gas Law?
PV = nRT
P = pressure, V = volume, n = number of moles, R = gas constant, T = temperature.
What is Avogadro’s number?
6.022 x 10^23
It represents the number of molecules in one mole of a substance.
Fill in the blank: The combined gas law is a relation between pressure, volume, and _______.
temperature
What are the three primary gas laws?
- Boyle’s Law
- Charles’s Law
- Gay-Lussac’s Law
Each law describes the relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature of gases.
True or False: The mass number is equal to the number of protons in an atom.
False
The mass number includes both protons and neutrons.
What does the term ‘molecular weight’ refer to?
Mass of a molecule based on its composition
It is calculated by adding the atomic weights of all atoms in the molecule.
