Conservation of mass Flashcards
definition of emipirical formula
give an example of this molcular formula c3h6
the simplest whole num ratio of atoms/ions of each element in a substance
CH2
how to calculate the relative formula mass of something
add together the formula mass num in periodic table
explain the law of conservation of mass
the mass of products in chemical reaction must equal the mass of reactants
when might the mass at the end be different to the mass at the start?
unsealed reaction vessel experiment
gas product escapes therefore lose mass can measure it
gas reactant is in air-cant measure its mass
when reacts form part of product becomes contained inside reaction vessel=mass increases
formula for measuring num mole from grams
and concentration
what are the units for measuring concentration?How ud you convert 1000cm3 to dm3
num of moles=mass in g/Mr or Ar
concentration=mass of solute/volume of solution
g dm-3
divide the num by 1000
What is a mole?
what is avogadros constant how can we use it to find particles?
certain num of particles
6 x 10 (23) x num of moles
what terms does the word particle cover?
num of molecules,atoms,ions
