Amount Of Substances Flashcards
What is a mole
A measure of amount of substance
What’s one mole of a substance
Contains as many particles of that substances as there are carbon atoms in exactly 12g of carbon 12
What does 1 mole of anything contain
Avogadro’s number- 6.02 x 10 23
Na
How do you find the actual number of any species
Get the moles of that species
Then x Na
For example how many moles of Cl- are in 1 mole of MgCl2
2 moles of Cl-
Cl- ions= 2 x Na
What is the equation for the mass of 1 atom
Mass of 1 mole/ avogadros number
What is the equation for mass of 1 mole
Mass of 1 atom x Avogadro’s number
What is the definition for empirical formula
The simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a cokpihnd
What is an example of finding emp formula for 72% of magnesium and 28% of nitrogen
Mg. N
Mass. 72. 28
Mole. 2.9. 2
Ratio. 1.45. 1
Times both by 2 to get the whole number
Mg3N2
What is the definition of molecular formula
The actual number of atoms in a compihnd
How do you calculate molecular formula
To get the ratio you need.
Molar mass / empirical mass
To get the molecule formula it’s
Ratio x emp formula
How do you calculate hydrated salts
The empirical formula
How do you use the empirical formula to calculate the x number of waters
If you hear a hydrated salt the water of crystallisation will be removed by evaporation
You must hear to a constant mass to ensure that all the water of crystallisation is removed
How do you measure mass of water lost
Mass of hydrated salt- mass of anhydrous salt
MgSO4 x H2O weighed 4.312 g
After hearing the anhydrous salt weighed 2.107 g
Mass of H20 = 4.312-2.107=2.205
MgSO4. H2O
Mass. 2.107. 2.205
Moles. 0.0175. 0.01225
Ratio. 1. 7
7 waters are in the compind
How do you know if you’re wrong
If the ratio of waters is smaller than the salt
How do you measure percentage uncertainty
Number of reading (2/1) x uncertainty of équipement
Divided by your reading
Times by 100
How do you evaluate x for water lost
Mass of water lost increases/decreases?
Moles of water lost increased/decreased
Value of x is larger or smaller?
Some hydrated solid spat out during heating
Mass of water lost will increase
Moles of water lost will increase
So the value of x will be larger
What if the lid wasn’t put on when cooling
Mass of water lost would decrease
Moles of water lost WOJLD decrease
X would be smaller as the water vapour in the atmosphere could skew the resukts
How can you make improvements to deter percentage uncertainty
Use larger amounts of species depending on the practical
Use more accurate equipment ( BE SPECIFIC)
What is the equation for moles of a gas
moles of a gase= volume/ 24 (dm3)
volume/24000 (cm3)
