lesson 11- molar mass and the mole Flashcards
(10 cards)
1
Q
Mole (not the animal haha)
A
- used to measure elements and compounds
2
Q
what are the particles in 1 mol called?
A
Avogadros number
3
Q
avagadros number (good to know)
A
6.02 x 10( power of 23)
4
Q
when defining a mole chemist use what?
A
carbon- 12 because in 12g of carbon atoms there are 6.02 x 10 power 23 atoms
5
Q
why was 12g used?
A
so that 1 mol of an element is the same or close to mass number
6
Q
molar mass
A
-the mass of one mole of each element
7
Q
atomic molar mass
A
the numbers under the element in the periodic table
8
Q
formula for calculating molar mass
A
m= nM
m= matter
n= matter in moles
M= molar mass (g/mol)
9
Q
law of conservation of mass
A
total mass of reactants = total mass of products.
10
Q
can the coefficients in balanced equations be read as moles?
A
yess
