Moles Flashcards
What is relative mass
Mass cannot be measured using standard units (Too small)
Relative masses compare mass to 1/12 mass of Carbon-12 atom (No units)
What is relative atomic mass
Relative mass of single atom (On periodic table)
What is relative molecular mass
Relative mass of molecule (Sum of relative atomic masses of molecule)
What is relative formula mass
Relative mass of formula unit of ionic / covalent network substance
What is a mole
Measure number of atoms / molecules / formula units
What is the value of 1 mole in particles
6.022 x 10^23 particles (Avogadro’s Number)
Amount of atoms in 12g of Carbon-12
What is the formula for amount of substance in mole
Amount of substance in mole = (Amount of particles of substance) / (Number of particles in 1 mole)
What is molar mass
Mass (g) of one mole of pure substance
Molar mass (g) = Relative mass (g)
What is formula for molar mass
Amount of substance in mole = (Mass of substance) / (Molar mass of substance)
What is percentage composition
Proportion by mass of different elements in compound
What is formula for percentage composition
% by mass of element in compound = (Mass of element in 1 mole of compound) / (Molar mass of compound) * 100%
What are chemical reactions
When particles collide, rearranged to form “new” substances
What are energy changes in chemical reactions
Reactions involve breaking of chemical bonds, formation of new ones
- Breaking bonds require energy absorbed from surroundings
- Formation releases energy to surroundings
- Energy mostly heat, light, electricity (J, kJ, MJ)
- Change in chemical energy (Energy stored in chemical bonds) due to reaction
– Is converted to other forms
What are phase changes either exothermic or endothermic
Liquid to gas = Endothermic, energy absorbed from surroundings
Liquid to solid = Exothermic, energy released to surroundings
What is the conservation of energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed
System is chemical reaction, energy absorbed / released by system
- Absorbed / Released to surroundings (Eg. Air, Water, Container)
