MOLES

Mole - Amount of substance which contain's Avogadro's constant/number of particles (chemical species [ion/atom/molecule]).

 The amount of substance that contains the same number of particles as there are atoms in exactly 12 g of the isotope carbon-12.

(mol)

 

Avogadro's number - 6.02 x 10   

23

ELEMENTS - Relative atomic mass (Ar)

MOLECULES - Relative molecular mass (Mr)

IONS - Relative formula mass (Fr)

Empirical Formula - Simplest ratio of each element in a compound. 

*Use only Ar when calculating empirical formula! 

**Empirical formula gives mole ratio

​

Molecular Formula - Exact or actual number of atoms of each element present in a compound (multiple of empirical formula).

GASES

mole ratio = volume ratio 

​

Ratios in gases: 

  • Mole - Mole 

  • Volume - Volume 

  • Mole - Volume

KMT - KINETIC MOLECULAR THEORY / KINETIC GAS THEORY 

  • The volume of gas particles is assumed to be 0. 

  • The gas particles are in constant motion 

  • The collision of the gas particles with the sides of the container causes pressure (elastic collision) 

  • The particles exert no forces on each other 

  • The average kinetic energy is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature of the gas. 

REAL GASES 

  • An ideal gas exactly obeys gas laws (KMT) 

  • Real gases have attractive forces (at high temperature) 

  • Real gases actually take up some volume 

  • Real gases behave like idea gases at high temperature and low pressure
