Unit 5 - The Mole Flashcards
Law of Conservation
In any chemical reaction, mass is neither lost nor gained
Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier
Chemistry into quantitative Science
Law of Conservation of Mass
Joseph Louis Proust
Showed copper (||) carbonate in parts by mass Law of Definite Proportions
Law of Definite Proportions
In any compound, the elements are always present in different proportions by mass
John Dalton
Hypothesized difference between atoms was in weight
Found relative atomic weights and numbers of atoms entering into compound forms
Law of Multiple Proportions
Law of Multiple Proportions
If two elements combine to form different compounds, then the mass ratios of the second element to a fixed mass of the first element are always small whole numbers
Avagadro’s Law
Equal volumes of different gases, at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of particles
The Mole
The number of carbon-12 atoms in 12g of carbon-12
SI unit for amount
Equal to Avagadro’s number: 6.02 * 10^23
Molar Mass
Atomic mass in grams
Molar Volume of a Gas
Volume occupied by 1 mol of gas particles
STP
Standard temperature and pressure
0 degrees Celsius and 101.3kPa
At STP molar volume of any gas is 22.4L
Percentage Composition
The percentage of each element in the compound by mass
Empirical Formula
The smallest integral (integer) ratio of the different atoms in a molecule
Molecular Formula
The actual number of each type of atom
N=molar mass of molecular formula/molar mass of empirical formula
Concentration of a solute in a solution
the amount of solute dissolved per unit of volume
