fundamental unit of the amount of substance
mole
exact elementary entities of the mole of the amount of substance
6.02214076 x 10^23
Avogadro’s number fixed value
6.02214076 x 10^23 is equal to 1 mol
different types of mole
- gram mole
- pound mole
- kilogram mole
type of mole that is the same with the conventional mole
gram mole
type of mole that is equivalent to the imperial system of the mole
pound mole
= 1000 g mol = 1000 mol
1 kg mol
refers to the mass of a single molecule of a substance, expressed in atomic mass units (amu or u)
molecular weight
molecular weight is also known as
molecular mass
formula for molecular weight
MW = mass/mole
relationship of molecular weight and mole
- g mole = mass in g/MW
- lb mol = mass in lb/MW
ratio of mass per unit volume
density
formula for density
p = density = mass/volume = m/V
inverse of density
specific volume (V = p^-1)
the ratio of density of the substance to the density of the reference material
specific gravity
specific gravity formula
sp. gr. of A = Pa/Pref
the rate at which material is transported through a carrying pipe
flow rate
different types of flow rates
- mass flow rate
- molar flow rate
- volumetric flow rate
mass transported through a pipe per unit of time
mass flow rate (m with a dot above it)
moles of a substance transported through a pipe per unit time
molar flow rate (n with a dot above it)
the volume transported through a pipe per unit time
volumetric flow rate (F)
the number of moles of a particular substance in a mixture or solution divided by the total number of moles present in the mixture or solution
mole fraction
mole fraction fomula
mole fraction = moles of A/total moles
