Chemistry - Topic 4 Chemical Calculations Flashcards
Relative Formula Mass
The mass of a molecule or formula unit of a substance relative to the mass of a carbon-12 atom
What is a mole?
The unit for the amount of a substance
What is 1 mole = to?
1 mole = 6.02 x 10^23 particles
What is one mole of carbon?
The mass of 1 mole of carbon is 12 g
Finding the number of moles in a given mass
Mass in g / Relative Formula Mass = Number of moles
Molecular formula
The actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule
Concentration is…
The amount of substance per unit volume
Concentration is usually measured in..
Concentration is usually measured in moles per cubic decimeter (mol/dm^3)
Molecular formula
Tells you the number of atoms of each element in a single molecule
What is Avogadro’s law?
Avogadro’s law states that one mole of any gas occupies 24 dm³ at room temperature and pressure
Using Avogadro’s law to calculate moles from volume
Moles = Volume / 24
Converting moles to concentration
- Divide moles by volume to get concentration
Converting concentration from mol/dm³ to g/dm³
Multiply concentration in mol/dm³ by molar mass to get concentration in g/dm³
