2 - amount of substance Flashcards
relative atomic mass
average mass of an atom of an element compared to 1/12 th the mass of an atom of carbon-12
relative molecular mass
the mass of a molecule compared to 1/12th the mass of an atom of carbon-12
how can you find the relative molecular mass
by adding up all the relative atomic masses of all the atoms present in the molecule
why is the term relative formula mass used for ionic compounds
as they dont exist as molecules
what is avogadros constant
the number of atoms in 12g of carbon-12
what is avogadros constant as a number
6.022 x10^23
what is a mole
the amount of substance that contains 6.022 x 10^23 particles
how many moles do the relative molecular mass of an element in grams contain
1
number of molecules formula
number of moles x mass of 1 mole = mass
what is a solutioon
a solvent with a solute dissolved in it
unit for concentration
moldm^-3
number of moles in solution equation
no. of moles = concentration x volume / 1000
boyles law
the product of pressure and volume is a constant as long as the temperatures remain constant
boyles law equation
pressure x volume = constant
charles law
the volume is proportional to the temperature as long as the pressure remains constant
charles law equation
volume/ temperature = constant
gay-lussacs law
the pressure is proportional to the temperature as long as the volume remains constat
gay lussacs law equation
pressure/temperature = constant
ideal gas equation
pressure x volume = number of moles x gas constant x temperature
PV=nRT
What can you work out using the idle gas equation
you can calculate the volume of one mole of gas at any temperature and pressure
how can you find the relative molecular mass of a gas
if you know the number of moles present in a given mass of gas you can find the mass of one mole of gas and this tells us the relative molecular mass
empirical formula
the formula that represents the simplest whole ratio of atoms of each element present in a compound
how do you find empirical formula
- find the masses of each of the element present in a compound
- work out the number of moles of each element
- convert the number of moles of each element into a whole number ratio
molecular formula
gives us the actually number of atoms of each element in one molecule of the compound
