mole definition
amount of a substance that contains the same number of particles found in 12g of C-12
avogadro’s constant definition
the number of atoms in exactly 12g of C-12 (6.02x10^23 mol-1)
molar mass definition
mass of one mole of the substance expressed in gmol-1
empirical formula definition
smallest whole number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound
molecular formula definition
the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule
Avogadro’s law
if conditions of temperature and pressure are the same, equal volume of gases contain the same number of molecules
precision definition
how close the values obtained in an experiment are to each other
accuracy definition
how close the values are to the actual value
percentage uncertainty
(uncertainty/reading) x 100
percentage yield
(actual yield/theoretical yield) x 100
atom economy
(molar mass of desired product/total molar mass of all products) x 100
how to write ionic equation
- write balanced equation
- add state symbols
- split aq into individual ions
- cancel common ions
- rewrite equation and include state symbols
how to work out number of particles present
number of moles of that particle x Avogadro’s constant
how to work out a reacting masses question
- calculate moles of substance you know mass of
- use molar ration to work out number of moles of unknown
- calculate mass of substance form moles
