Study Notes
Mole Definition
- A mole (mol) is the SI unit for the amount of a substance.
- It is defined as the amount of substance that contains as many particles (atoms, molecules, ions, or electrons) as there are atoms in 0.012 kilograms of carbon-12.
- 1 mole = 6.022 x 10^23 particles (Avogadro's number)
Mole Calculations
- Mole calculations involve converting between the amount of a substance (in moles) and its mass (in grams).
- The molar mass of a substance is the mass of 1 mole of the substance.
- Formula: moles = mass (in grams) / molar mass
Mole Conversion
- Converting between moles and particles:
- moles = particles / Avogadro's number
- particles = moles x Avogadro's number
- Converting between moles and mass:
- moles = mass (in grams) / molar mass
- mass (in grams) = moles x molar mass
Stoichiometry
- Stoichiometry is the study of the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in chemical reactions.
- Mole ratios are used to calculate the amount of reactants required or products formed in a reaction.
- The coefficients of a balanced equation represent the mole ratios of the reactants and products.
Mole Ratios
- Mole ratios are used to compare the amount of reactants and products in a reaction.
- Mole ratios can be calculated from the coefficients of a balanced equation.
- Formula: mole ratio = coefficient of reactant / coefficient of product
- Mole ratios can be used to calculate the amount of reactants required or products formed in a reaction.
Mole Definition
- The mole (mol) is the SI unit for the amount of a substance.
- It is defined as the amount of substance containing 6.022 x 10^23 particles (Avogadro's number).
- This number of particles is equivalent to the number of atoms in 0.012 kilograms of carbon-12.
Mole Calculations
- Mole calculations involve converting between amount of substance (in moles) and mass (in grams).
- The molar mass of a substance is the mass of 1 mole of the substance.
- The formula for mole calculations is: moles = mass (in grams) / molar mass.
Mole Conversion
- To convert between moles and particles: moles = particles / Avogadro's number and particles = moles x Avogadro's number.
- To convert between moles and mass: moles = mass (in grams) / molar mass and mass (in grams) = moles x molar mass.
Stoichiometry
- Stoichiometry is the study of quantitative relationships between reactants and products in chemical reactions.
- Mole ratios are used to calculate the amount of reactants required or products formed in a reaction.
- Coefficients of a balanced equation represent the mole ratios of reactants and products.
Mole Ratios
