Σrelative atomic mass(Ar)
Σrelative atomic mass(Ar)=
relative formula (molecular) mass(Mr)
what does ‘Σ’ mean?
used to denote a sum of multiple terms
what does relative formula mass mean?
the sum of the relative atomic of each atom in the formula
what does relative atom mass mean?
average mass of the atom
what is the formula for ethanol
C2H6O
why would a chemical measurement involves some uncertainty.
a digital thermometer is able to measure to a precision of 0.1oC.
If this thermometer displayed a reading of 35.4oC, the actual temperature could be anywhere between 35.35oC and 35.45oC

The molecular formula shows …
the actual amount of atoms which make up a molecule.
whats the molecular formula for glucose
C6H12O6
The empirical formula shows…
the simplest ratio of atoms which make up a molecule.
what the empirical formula for glucose?
CH2O
The empirical formula is also knowns as the
simplest formula
The molecular formula is also knowns as the
actual formula
Because atoms and molecules are so small, it is inconvenient to talk about individual atoms.
Instead, chemical amounts can be measured in …

The reactant that is completely used up is called the ——– because …
limiting reactant
the reaction stops when it is used up.
A reactant that is ———–is called the limiting reactant.
completely used up in a reaction
when a substance is dissolved in solution, we use the solution ‘s concentration to calculate the …
number of moles
we can measure concentration using different units:
grams per decimetre cubed or
moles per decimetre cubed
grams per decimetre cubed=
the mass of a dissolved solid in a solution/volume of solution
moles per decimetre cubed=
the moles of a dissolved solid in a solution/ volume of the solution
concentration (—–)=
mol/dm3
moles (mol) ÷ volume (dm3)
The units of concentration can be …
g/dm3
mol/dm3
M
