Relative formula mass and conversation of mass Flashcards
A(small r on A s foot)
Atomic mass
M( small r on M s foot)
Molecular mass/ relative formula mass
Isotope
has a different number of neutrons but the same number of protons and electrons.
A(small r on A s foot) what it tells us
It tells us the mass of an atom compared to 1 atom of carbon
relative formula mass is mass…
of elements in a compound
Chemical reaction
A chemical reaction is a change that takes place when one of or more substances( called reactants) form one or more new substances( called products)
What might happen observing a chemical reaction
a colour change
change of states
Energy being transferred
An odour being produced
What happens in a chemical reaction?
Bonds break
Bonds are created
Substances are formed
Experimenting proving of existence of conversation of mass
1) mass of measuring cylinder and 10 cm cubed of reactant 1
2) Mass of of measuring cylinder and 10cm cubed of reactant 2
3) Reactant mass= mass of both measuring cylinders and reactants
4) Product mass= mass of measuring cylinders + products and the emptied measuring cylinders
What to write in the conclusion of the experiment of the existence of conversation of mass
1) Write down your observation- what colour are your reactants and products?
2) Compare the reactant mass with product mass… what do you notice?
Law of conversation of mass
Matter cannot be created neither destroyed, it can only be transferred
