Module 6 Flashcards
Molar mass of a atom
Expressed as u
u = 1.661 x 10^-24
1 mole of atom is expressed in grams
Atomic mass & Molar mass
They are interchangeable terms depending on what you need
Compound molar mass
Add up each elements molar mass for answer
CO2 = 12g/m of C + (2)16g/m of Oxygen = 48 g/m
Findings moles in compound
Take the grams present and divide by the molar mass
Finding atoms in the compounds
Using the moles of the compound , multiply it by 2.
Then multiply it all by avocados number
(6.022 x 10^22)
Finding percent composition
Total mass of element divided by the compound mass .
If it was from another number not 100 , multiply result by that number.
Empirical Formula
Smallest whole number ratio of atoms in compound
Empirical Formula & Ionic Compounds
Most ionic compounds are identified by the formula.
Empirical Formula & Covalent Compounds
Will always be some multiple of the empirical formula
Molecular formula
Gives the actual number of elements of the covalent compound. A integer of the empirical
