Moles Flashcards
1 mole is equivalent to
- the number of atoms in 12g of carbon-12
- 6.02 × 10^23 particles (Avogadro’s number)
- relative formula mass (g)
Moles equation
Moles = mass/Mr
Stoichiometric coefficients
Numbers in front of each formula that show the ratio of numbers of each reactant and product
Yield
the volume of a substance produced in a chemical reaction
Yield equation
% yield = actual yield/expected yield × 100
Molecular formula
actual number of atoms in one molecule
Empirical formula
simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound
Hydrated
Solid substances that have water molecules bound to the ionic salt (e.g., MgSO4.7H2O)
Heating can remove the water to form the anhydrous salt
Concentration equation
Concentration = moles/volume
volume = dm^3
concentration = mol/dm^3
Avogadro’s Law
Gases with equal volume, pressure, and temperature contain the same number of particles
Volume at rtp equation
Volume = moles × molar volume (24)
