Study Notes
Mole and Avogadro's Number
- A mole (mol) is a unit that represents 6.022 x 10^23 particles (atoms, molecules, or formula units), known as Avogadro's number.
Chemical Formula
- The empirical formula is a formula showing the simplest ratio of elements in a compound.
- The molecular formula is a formula that shows the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule.
Mass Calculations
- Formula mass (also known as formula weight) is the sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms in a formula unit.
- Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance, expressed in units of grams per mole (g/mol).
- Molar mass is used to express the mass of a substance.
Molecular Formula
- The molecular formula C6H6 represents a molecule with 6 carbon atoms and 6 hydrogen atoms.
Mass Terms
- Molar mass refers to the mass of one mole of a substance.
- Formula mass refers to the sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms in a formula unit.
Mass Determination
- The technique used to determine the elements present in a compound and their percent by mass is elemental analysis.
Formula Relationships
- The empirical formula is related to the molecular formula, as the molecular formula is a multiple of the empirical formula.
Mass Definitions
- The term that describes the mass in grams equal to the sum of all the atomic masses of the component atoms of a substance is molar mass or formula mass.
Test your knowledge on moles and Avogadro's number. Understand the concept of moles as the amount of substance containing the same number of entities as there are atoms in 12 grams of Carbon. Explore how to calculate molar mass and empirical formulas.
