Element
Elements are substances made from one kind of ato m
Relative formula mass
Adding RAM of all atoms/ions
Homogeneous vs heterogeneous Mixtures
Homogeneous
-Uniform composition, properties and particle distribution (e.g air)
heterogeneous
-non-uniform composition properties and particle distribution (eg mil and cereal) Visbly differnent
Relative atomic mass
Average mass of one atom of an element compared to C-12
MR triangle
moles= Mass/Mr
Formula unit
Formula unit =avagadros number X mole
Formula Unit??
the type of particle present in a sumbstance
Emeperical vs molecular formula
Molecular formula : the no of atoms of each element in a molecule
Emperical formula; The simplesy whole no ratios of atoms
emperical formula steps
Find mass of each element
Find moles of each element by doing mass/mr
Divide each mole value buy the smallets mole vallue
apply
calculating Molecular formula
Molar mass of molecule/ empirical formula mass
Diatomic molecules
o2 F2 I2 N2 Cl2 H2 Br2
Have no fear of ice cold beer
Concentration triangle
moles=molar conc x volume
Dilution equation
C1V1=C2V2
Intial conc and volume = Diluted conc and volume
Limited reagent Excess reagent
limiting reagent compleyely used up during the reaction
Excess reagent = there are some left overs after the reaction
Formula of hydrate
Find the mass of h20 in the hydrate by calculating mass of hydrate- mass of hydrate after evaporation
2 determine the moles of salt and h20 using g and gmole-1
3 Find a whole number mole ratio by dividng both moles by the smallest mole value
4 Ratio shows X
