Study Notes

Units and Definitions

  • The SI unit for "amount of substance" is the mole.
  • Avogadro's Number represents the number of representative particles in one mole, equal to 6.02 x 10^23.

Representative Particles

  • The representative particle of an ionic compound is termed a formula unit.
  • For elemental substances, the representative particle is an atom.
  • Molecular compounds have molecules as their representative particles.

Mass and Chemical Properties

  • Molar mass is defined as the mass of one mole of an element.
  • The mass of a mole of an element corresponds to its average atomic mass from the periodic table, expressed in grams.
  • To determine the mass of a mole of a compound, one must know its chemical formula.

Gas Laws and Hypotheses

  • Avogadro's Hypothesis states that equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain an equal number of particles.
  • STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure) is defined as 0°C and 1 atm pressure.
  • One mole of gas occupies 22.4 liters at STP, known as molar volume.

Composition and Formulas

  • Percent composition expresses the relative amounts of elements in a compound.
  • The empirical formula provides the lowest whole number ratio of atoms or moles of elements in a compound.
  • Percent composition is particularly applied to ionic compounds.
  • The empirical formula mass (efm) is the molar mass of the empirical formula.

Measurement and Molecular Formulas

  • A mass spectrometer is a device used to determine the molar mass of substances.
  • The molecular formula of a compound can either match its empirical formula or be a simple whole-number multiple of it.

Hydrates

  • A hydrate is an ionic compound that includes water molecules in its crystal structure.
  • The water contained in the crystals of a hydrate is known as water of hydration.

Density Calculation

  • Density (D) can be calculated using the formula: D = molar mass/molar volume.
