Moles and Equations

·        Atoms:

Smallest particle of any element which may or may not exist independently.

·        Molecule:

At least two or more atoms chemically combined together. It can exist independently.

·        Nucleon Number/Mass Number:

The total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

·        Atomic Number:

The number of protons in an atom.

·        Molecular Formula:

The actual number of atoms each element present in one molecule of a compound.

·        Empirical Formula:

The formula that tells us the simplest ratio of the different atoms present in the molecule.
Example:
Molecular Formula                       Empirical Formula
cH                        =                    n X CH
n = molecular formula mass/ empirical formula mass
(n = whole number/ positive integer)

·        Isotopes:

Atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.

·        Relative Atomic Mass:

The average weight mass of an atom compared to1/12 the mass of a C-12 atom.

·        Relative Isotopic Mass:

Mass of an isotope compared to1/12 the mass of a C-12 atom.

·        Relative Molecular Mass:

The average mass of the molecules compared to1/12 the mass of a C-12 atom.

·        Relative Formula Mass:

The mass of one formula unit of a compound compared to1/12 the mass of a C-12 atom.
(Same as relative molecular mass)(Used for compounds containing ions)

·        Moles:

Amount of substance that contains Avogadro’s number of particles (6.02 x 10²³)
(It is the Ar/Mr expressed in grams)

1)      No. of moles = mass (grams)/Mr (Molar Mass)
2)      No. of moles = Volume(dm³) X Concentration(mol/dm³)

·        Avogadro’s Gas Law:

Under similar condition of temperature and pressure, the molar ratio corresponds to the volume ratio and vice versa.

·        Hydrocarbons:

Compounds containing carbon and hydrogen only
CxHy + (x+y/4) O₂ →  xCO₂ + (y/2) H₂O                                                               (general equation)

·        Combustion:

Burning in the presence of O

·        Combustion Analysis Tube:

Hydrocarbon enters the furnace .it is first passed through a Carbon dioxide absorber (NaOH) and then through a Moisture Absorber (MgClO)
Sample Question:
Data:
Before Process
After Process
100g MgClO
150g MgClO
100g NaOH
150g NaOH
Now you can calculate the following by substituting the values below:
% Mass of Carbon = 2/44 x mass of CO x 100%
% Mass of Hydrogen = 2/18 x mass of HO x 100%
% Mass of Oxygen = 100 – (% of carbon + % of hydrogen)        
Mass of Oxygen = Weight of sample-(Weight of carbon + weight of hydrogen)

·        Mass Spectrometer:

Mass spectrometer provides the following information:
1) Number of isotopes of atom                                                                          
2) Relative abundance of each isotope
3) The relative atomic weight of an atom
Sample: Mass spectrum of neon, Ne.
Ar of neon = (20 x 90.9) + (21 x 0.3) + (22 x 8.8) / 100 = 20.2
