Measuring Chemical Reactions Flashcards
Atomic Mass
The mass of one atom of 12C =12 amu
SINGLE atom of a SINLE ISOTOPE
amu
1amu =
1.66054 X 10^-24g
Mass Defect
Energy lost/less mass
Parts don’t equal weight of whole
Greater mass defect = _____ stable isotope
More
Average Atomic Mass
Average mass of a COLLECTION OF ISOTOPES
(Convert percent into decimal)
AAM = f1M1 +f2M2…
(f1 being percent abundance
M1 being Atomic mass)
Calculating Average Atomic Mass
AAM = (fractional abundance)(Atomic mass) + (fa)(am)
Atoms have _____ masses
Atomic
Compounds have _____ masses
Formula
Formula Mass
Sum of average Atomic masses of elements in a COMPOUND
amu
Percent Composition
% element = (atoms of element)(atomic weight)/(formula weight) X100
Molecular Mass
Formula mass applied to COVALENT COMPOUNDS
