conservation of mass
sum of mass of reactants = sum of mass of products
amu
atomic mass unit
2 elements combine
-ide
more than 2 elements combine
-ate
2 or more atoms of same element
no change
what does iron (II) mean
indicates charge on transition metal. fe 2+
ionic compounds and charge
no overall charge - total positive charge = total negative charge
hydroxide
OH-
carbonate
CO3 2-
zinc
Zn 2+
nitrate
NO3 -
ammonium
NH4 +
lead
Pb 2+
sulfate
SO4 2-
copper
Cu 2+
silver
Ag+
relative atomic mass
mean average mass of an atom of an element expressed in AMU
how to calculate relative atomic mass with percentage abundance
(M1 * 0.P1) * (M2 * 0.P2) = RMA
relative formula mass
sum of all atomic masses present in the formula (Mr)
relative molecular mass
sum of all atomic masses present in the formula (Mr)
percentage by mass
RFM of wanted element / RFM
why are moles used?
different chemicals contain different atoms -> mass cannot be used to compare particles easily
what is avagadro’s constant
6.02 * 10^23
what is the equation for moles
n = number of particles (mol)
Mr = relative formula/molecular mass
m = mass in g
n * Mr = m
