The Mole Concept Flashcards
Define the term relative atomic mass (Ar)
the average mass of one atom of an element compared with 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom
The mass of carbon-12 is exactly ____ units
12.00
State the Ar (relative atomic mass) of the following:
- Cl
- Na
- H
- Ca
- S
- C
1) 35.5
2) 23
3) 1
4) 40
5) 32
6) 12
The Ar/RAM is located at the ___ of the element
top
Define relative molecular mass (Mr)
the average mass of one molecule of a substance compared to 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom
Mr (H2O)
= (2*1) +16
= 2 + 16
= 18
Mr (C6H1206)
= (612) + (121) + (6*16)
= 72 + 12+ 96
= 180
The relative formula is the same as relative molecular mass but applies to ____ only
ions
Define relative formula mass
the total of Ar of all atoms in the formula of an ionic compound
What is the relative formula mass of magnesium sulphate (MgSO4)?
Mr(MgSO4) = 24 + 32 + (4*16)
= 24 + 32 + 64
= 120
Define mole
the amount of a substance that contains 6.02 *10 ^23 particles of the substance
12.00 grams of carbon-12 contains _______ carbon atoms
6.023*10^23
“Avogadro number” or “Avogadro constant” is _______
6.023 * 10 ^23
When counting ‘particles’ the unit used is the _____
mole
Calculate the number of moles in 80g of Magnesium (Mg)
24 grams of Mg contains one mole
24= Mr
; 80 grams of Mg contains 80*1/24 = 3.33 moles
OR
n=mass/molar mass
= 80/24
= 3.33 moles
