Ideal gas equation
pV = nRT
pressure x volume = no. of moles x gas constant x temperature
Pa, m^3, moles, J K^-1 mol^-1, K
Atom economy equation
(Mr desired products)/(Mr reactants)x100
Equation linking relative atomic mass, mass and no. of moles
Mr = mass / moles
Percentage yield equation
(Actual / theoretical) x 100
Define molecular formula
Actual number of atoms needed to make a molecule
Define empirical formula
The simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a molecule
Skeletal formula
Shows carbon - carbon bonds as lines, no hydrogens drawn apart from on functional groups
Define displayed formula
Drawing all atoms and bonds within a molecule, including all hydrogens and carbons
Define structural formula
A way of showing the arrangement of atoms but not the bonds between them
e.g. CH3CH2CH3 for propane
