Conversions/Equation Flashcards
Converting Celsius to Kelvins
273 + Celsius = K
Converting Kelvin to Celsius
K - 273 = C
Converting to different units
King Henry Died By drinking chocolate milk
K H D B d c m
B= grams, meters, liters B is the base ex) 1056 cm -> ? m You start at c and then you need to go to B in order to do this you move the decimal point to the left 2 places... meaning 1056cm = 10.56 m

Determine rounding when dividing or multiplying numbers
LEAST SIG FIGS ex) 0.00000016/ 74.3 ^2 ^3 Answer must be in 2 sig figs = 2.2 x 10^-9 (10 doesn't count)
Determining rounding when adding or subtracting
LEAST Decimal Places
ex) 17 - 3.88
^0 ^2
Answer must have ZERO decimal places
=13
1 mol = ________ molecules
AVOGRADOS NUMBER
6.02 x 10^23 molecules
lets convert from grams to atomic mass
Grams
AMU x Mol
atomic mass
AMU
g/mol
cation
pos charge
SMALLEST IONIC RADIUS
anion
neg charge (ion)
LARGEST IONIC RADIUS
Atomic Mass
(% x mass) + (% x mass) + ….
note: % should be in decimals
use when given multiple amu and dif percents
% composition
use atmoic mass formula but replace % with x
ex) atomic mass (63.546) = ( y x mass [62.9296]) + ( {1 - x} x mass [64.9278])
to find 2nd % composition must subtract original answer by 1
ex) 1-0.6915
Empirical Formula Steps
1) change % to grams (same value)
2) convert grams to mols with molar mass
3) divide by smallest number of mols
4) multiply the values found to get a whole #
- 0.5 x 2
- 0.33 and 0.66 x 3
- 0.25 and .75 x 4
ex) Cr1O1.5 -> Cr2O3
Molecular Formula Steps
1) Find Empirical Formula
2) Change % to grams
3) grams to mols (note molar mass is atomic mass)
4) divide by smallest # of moles
5) Write empirical formula
6) Find molar mass of empirical formula
7) divide molecular formula molar mass by empirical formula molar mass
8) multiple whole # found above to the subscript of empirical formula
Charges where found in periodic table
Skipping transition metals left to right
+1, +2, +3, +4, -3, -2, -1, 0
