Module 2: Amount Of Substance Atoms Ions And Compounds Flashcards
(45 cards)
What is the structure of an atom
Protons and neutrons in nucleus and electrons in shells
What is the charge of a proton
+1
What is the charge of an neutron
0
What the charge of an electron
-1
What is the mass of a proton
1
What is the mass of a neutron
1
What is the mass of an electron
1/1836
What is the overall charge of an atom and why
Neutral because the total positive charge from protons is equal to the negative charge from electrons
Definition for a mole
Amount of substance containing as many particles as there are carbon atoms in exactly 12g of the C-12 isotope
definition for relative atomic mass
Weighted mean mass of an atom of an element compared to 1/12th of the mass of an atom if C-12
Definition for relative isotopic mass
Weighted mean mass of an atom of an isotope when compare to 1/12th mass of an atom of C-12
What molar mass
Mass mole of a substance (g mol-1)
Definition for relative molecular mass
Weighted mean mass of a molecule compared to 1/12 of the mass of an atom of C-12
What’s avogadros constant
Number of atom per mole of the C-12 isotope (6.02 x 10^23 )
How do you do a reacting mass calculation when given 1 mass
Whilst using balanced equation and correct units
1. Mole of known (mol = mass/mr)
2. Mole of unknown (mole ratio)
3. Mass of unknown (mass = mol x mr
What is the solid equation for moles
Mole= mass (g) / Mr
What is a limiting reagent
Substance in reaction which runs out first
How do you do a limiting reagent mass calculation when given 2 masses
Using balanced equation and correct units
1. Mol of both reagents (mol = mass/mr)
2. Find limiting reagent
3. Mol of unknown (mol ratio)
4. Mass of unknown (mass =mol x mr )
What’s an empirical formula
Simplest whole number ratio of atoms present in a compound
What molecular formula
Number of atoms of each element in a molecule
How to calculate empirical formula
- Table with each element
- Write % or mass (g)
- Find moles of each elements (mol=mass/mr)
- Find whole number ratio (divide by smallest)
- Formula
What does anhydrous mean
Substance that contains no water molecules
What dies hydrated mean
Crystalline and containing water molecules
What is water of crystallisation
Water molecules that form essential part of the crystalline structure of a compound
