relative atomic mass definition
weighted average mass of an atom relative to 1/12th the mass of a C-12 atom
relative atomic mass (Ar)
(mass no. 1 x abundance1) + (mass no. 2 x abundance 2) /100
relative molecular mass (Mr)
when a substance is simple molecular
add up relative atomic mass of all atoms in a molecule
H2O - 1+1+16 = 18
relative formula mass (RFM)
when substance is ionically bonded
add up relative atomic mass of all atoms
relative formula mass of substance containing water of crystallisation
same as RFM
x.5H2O
x + 5x 18
mole
6x10^23
mole equation
mass = Mr x mole
% yield
actual / theoretical (x100)
why yield is less than 100%
- substances lost in transfer
- side reactions take place
- reversible reactions
molecular formula definition
how many of each atom in a molecule (simple molecular)
empirical formula definition
lowest ratio of atoms in a compound
empirical formula
mass/Ar
