What is an isotope?
|
An atom with the same atomic number as another but with a different mass number.
|
|
Why do isotopes have the same chemical properties?
|
They have the same electronic structure.
|
|
What is the RAM or Ar?
|
The weighted average mass of an element. Itt is measurement on a scale which the carbon-12 atom has a mass of exactly 12 units.
|
|
What is a mole?
|
A measure of amount of substance.
|
|
What is the Avogadro number?
|
The number of atoms in 12g of carbon-12. It is about 6.02 x10 [23]
|
|
How do you calculate the RAM of an element using the relative abundances of its isotopes? (3)
|
Multiply each % with its relative mass
Add them all together and divide by 100 This gives you a weighted average of the RAM |
|
Moles =
|
Mass/RAM
|
|
Describe how to obtain the formulae of simple compounds experimentally.
|
Find mass of each element
Divide each by its RAM Divide both by the smallest to give ratio |
|
What is water of crystallization?
|
The water associated with a salt when it is a hydrated solid
|
|
How do you indicate the number of moles of water of crystallization?
|
A dot followed by a number and the formula for water
|
|
What is the empirical formula?
|
It is the simplest formula made up from the ratio of the elements
|
|
How do you find the molecular formula from the molecular mass?
|
Take the empirical formula
Find the empirical formula mass Divide the molecular mass by the empirical formula mass Take this to be 'n' Multiply the empirical formula by 'n' |
|
How do you deduce the masses of reactants needed and the mass of product formed?
|
The total mass of starting materials will be equal to the mass of the products.
|
|
Moles of a gas =
|
Volume/24,000
|
|
One mole of any gas occupies ....
|
24dm(3) at rtp
|
|
1dm = ...cm
1cm(3) = ... cm(3) |
1dm = 10cm
1cm(3) = 1000cm(3) |
|
Moles of a solution =
|
Concentration x volume
|
|
Unit of concentration is
|
moles per decimeter cubed
|
|
How do you calculate the % yield?
|
Actual yield/expected yield x 100
|
