chapter 10 Flashcards
(37 cards)
how do you measure matter?
determine mass, or volume
what is matter composed of?
atoms, molecules, ions.
mole
6.02 *10^23 representative particles of that substance and is the SI unit for measuring the amount of a substance.
avogadros number
the number of representative particles in a mole, 6.02*10^23
representative particles
refers to the species presnt in a substance, usually atoms, molecules, or formula units.
what is the representative particle of most elements?
atom
what is the representative particle of all molecular compounds?
molecule
What does the mole allow chemists to do?
count the number of representative particles in a substance.
what is the conversion to convert between representative particles and moles?
1 mol over 6.02*10^23
what must you know to determine how many atoms are in a mole of a compound?
you must know how many atoms are in a representative particle of a compound.
What must you do to find the number of atoms in a given number of moles of a compound?
you must first determine the number of representative particles.
What must you do to convert the number of moles of a compound to the number of representative particles?
multiply the number of moles by 6.02*10^23 representative particles. multiply the number of representative particles by the number of atoms in each molecule or formula unit.
what is the atomic mass expressed in?
atomic mass units.
what is the atomic mass of an element expressed in grams
the mass of a mole of the element
molar mass
the mass of a mole of an element
What must the molar mass of any two elements contain?
the same number of atoms.
What does the molar mass of any element contain?
1 mol or 6.02*10^23 atoms
What is molar mass
the mass of 1 mol of atoms of any element
What is the molar mass of any compound
is the mass in grams of 1 mol of that compound
how do you calculate the molar mass of a compound?
find the number of grams of each element in one mole of the compound. then add the masses of the elements in the compound.
What is the molar mass of any substance the same as?
the mass in grams of one mole of that substance.
Use the molar mass of an element or compound to convert between
the mass of a substance and the moles of the substance.
avogadros hypothesis
states that equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of particles.
What do volumes of gas vary with?
a change in temperature or a change in pressure.
