Mole Concept Flashcards
definition of relative atomic mass?
ratio of the average mass of one atom of an element to 1/12 of the mass of the carbon-12 atom
(leave to 1d.p.)
definition of relative isotopic mass?
ratio of the mass of one atom of the isotope of an element to 1/12 of the mass of the carbon-12 atom
definition of relative molecular mass?
ratio of the average mass of one molecule to 1/12 of the mass of the carbon-12 atom
(sum of individual relative atomic mass of atoms in the molecule)
definition of relative formula mass?
ratio of the average mass of one formula unit of an ionic compound to 1/12 of the mass of the carbon-12 atom
how to calculate the percentage composition by mass of an element in a compound?
(no. of atoms of the element in the formula)(relative atomic mass of the element) / relative molecular mass of the formula
what is Avogadro’s constant?
6.02 * 10^23
what is a mole?
exactly 6.02 * 10^23 of elementary particles
what are the two formulas to derive the number of moles?
- number of particles/Avogadro’s constant
- mass/molar mass
definition of the empirical formula?
simplest ratio of each type of atoms in a compound
definition of the molecular formula?
actual number of atoms in a compound
what is Avogadro’s law involving gases?
6.02 * 10^23 particles of any gas will occupy the same volume
room temperature and pressure
24.0 dm3 mol^-1
standard temperature and pressure
22.7 dm3 mol^-1
definition of molar volume of a gas?
volume occupied by a mole of gas
how to calculate a mole of gas?
(either in cm3/mol or dm3/mol)
volume/molar volume
