What is a mole?
The amount of substance that contains as many particles as there are in 12g of carbon-12
1 of 12
What is Avagadro's constant?
6.02 x 10 to the 23 - the amount of particles in 12g of carbon-12
2 of 12
How many moles are there in 46g of Sodium?
46/23 (the molar mass) = 2 moles
3 of 12
How do you calculate the number of moles?
The mass of the substance (in grams) divided by the molar mass
4 of 12
How do you calculate the mass?
The number of moles x the molar mass
5 of 12
Calculate the mass of 5 moles of methane
Mr = 12+1+1+1+1=16. Mass = moles x Mr therefore 16x5 = 80g
6 of 12
How do you calculate the number of atoms in a substance?
Avagadro's constant x the number of moles
7 of 12
Calculate the number of moles in 2 tonnes of CaCO3
Mr of CaCO3 = 100.1 . Moles = 2000000 divided by 100.1 = 19980 moles

What is empirical formula?
The simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound.
9 of 12
Find the empirical forumla of an oxide of potassium when you have 100g of potassium and 16g of oxygen
100 divided by 39.1 = 2.5 16 divided by 16 = 1 2.5/1 = 2.5 2.5x2 = 5 1x2=2 Empirical formula= K5O2
10 of 12
What is the molecular formula?
The actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule
11 of 12
If the empirical formula of a substance is KNO3, and the Mr is 505.5, what is the molecular formula?
Mr of KNO3 = 101.1. 505.5 divided by 101.1 = 5 so the molecular formula is K5N5O15
