What is the formula for Mr Example of HNO3 H-1 N-14 O-16
Sum of all of the relative atomic masses (Ar)
E.g.-
1(H) + 14(N) + (3x16(O)) = 63
What is the Ar
Relative atomic mass- BOTTOM NUMBER
Balance
Cu + O2 — CuO
2Cu + O2 — 2CuO
How to balance combustion reactions (tip)
Balance in order!
balance this combustion reaction
CH4 + O2 — CO2 + H2O
in order!!!
Carbon
Hydrogen
Oxygen
CH4 + 2O2 — CO2 + 2H2O
Calculating mass of product
1- find out if your being asked to find the mass of product or reactant;
Reactant - mr reactant / mr product
Product- mr product / mr reactant
Then x by known mass
What is the mass number
TOP NUMBER
protons + neutrons
What is the atomic number
BOTTOM NUMBER
Number of protons
What is an isotope
Same number for protons but different number of neutrons
Formula for average atomic mass
(% of isotope 1 x mass no) + (% of isotope 2 x mass no)
/ 100
How to calculate concentrations of solutions in g dm3
FORMULA TRIANGLE
Mass(solute in g)
Concentration Volume(of solution dm3)
Converting dm3 to cm3
Cm3-dm3 (/1000)
Dm3-cm3 (x1000)
