TOPIC 4- Stoich Flashcards
It is used to determine the number of atoms in a set quantity of a substance
Average Mass
it is determined based on atomic mass unit
Atomic mass
the most accurate method to compare the masses of atoms involves the use of
Mass Spectrometer
Ions with higher masses deviate (change) the
Least
Is defined as the number equal to the number of carbon atoms in exactly 12 grams of pure 12C
Mole
12 gram of ^12C is equal to
6.022x10^23 atoms which is the Avogadro’s number
is the mass of one mole of the compound measured in grams
Molar Mass
used for compound that do not contain molecules
Formula Unit
is calculated by comparing the mass percent of the element in one mole of a compound with the total mass of one mole of the compound
Mass Percent
Techniques in determining the formula compound
- decomposing into its component elements
- introducing oxygen to produce substances
is the simplest whole number ratio of the formula
Empirical Formula
always an integer multiple of the empirical formula
Molecular Formula
involves the reorganization of atom in one or more substances
