Q

What is the mass number?

A

Total number of protons and neutrons in an atom

2
Q

What are isotopes?

A

Atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons

3
Q

What is the relative atomic mass?

A

The average mass of isotopes of an element compared to the mass of a Carbon-12 atom

4
Q

How to work out RAM

A

²⁴Mg = 77.6%
²⁵Mg = 10.1%
²⁶Mg = 11.3%
(24 x 78.6) + (25 x 10.1) + (26 x 11.3) / 100

5
Q

How do you calculate relative formula mass?

A

NH₃ = N + (Hx3) = 14 + 3 = 17

6
Q

How to calculate percentage abundance

A

total mass of element in compound / RFM of compound x 100

7
Q

How to calculate mole calculations using relative atomic mass and relative formula mass

A

mass = number of moles x RFM

8
Q

If the molecular formula is H₂O₂, what is the empirical formula?

A

HO

9
Q

How to work out the empirical formula from the mass of each element in a compound

A

• Determine the mass or percentage of elements.
• Divide the given mass or percentage by their RAM.
• Calculate the ratio of the atoms by dividing by smallest value.

Q

How to work out volume with moles

A
  • volume = moles x 24(dm³)

* volume = moles x 24000(cm³)
