the number of particles obtained by weighing out Ar or Mr
6.02 times 10^23 the symbol of mole is mol
write down symbols and formula of a substance -find its Mr or Ar -express its mass in grams
number of moles in mass = mass /mass of moles
-write a balanced equation -write Ar or Mr -using Ar or Mr change mole into grams -this gives theoretical masses
one mol of gas has the same volume as all other gases at room temperature and a pressure of 24dm
find Mr of the solute -use equation ammount of solute/volume of solution
-use equation amount of solute=concentration times volume -convert moles to grams by multiplying Mr
-how many moles of different atoms combine -how many grams of different elements combine
find mass -change grams to moles -find ratio -write formula
the empirical formula shows the simplest ratio in which atoms combine to form a compound
1 weigh out a crucible lid eempty and add a coil of magnesium ribbon and weigh again to find the mass of magnesium 2 heat the crucible allowing oxygen to enter by raising the lid 3 let crucible cool and weigh again the mass has increased due to oxygen
is the same as its empirical formula
shows the actual number of atoms that combine to form a molecule -it gives more information than the empirical formula
-empirical mass -empirical formula -the relative molecular mass
Mr/empirical mass -multiply number of atoms in the empiricla formula by n
amount of product obtained from reaction
mass of product in a reaction is the mass obtained by calculation
actual mass of product obtained/ theoretical mass
-impurites lower melting points and raise boiling points -the more impure the greater the change
