A mole
The amount of a substance which contains the same number of chemical species as there are atoms in exactly 12g of the isotope carbon-12.
1 of 16
Relative atomic mass
The average mass of an atom of the element, taking into account all its isotopes and their relative abundance, compared to one atom of carbon-12.
2 of 16
Molar mass
The mass of one mole of a species. It is expressed in g/mol.
3 of 16
Relative molecular mass
The suym of the relative atomic masses of the atoms in the molecular formula.
4 of 16
Avogadro's constant
6.02 x10^23
5 of 16
Empirical formula
Gives the ratio of the atoms of different elements in a compound. It is the molecular formula expressed as its simplest ratio.
6 of 16
Molecular formula
Shows the actual number of atoms of each element present in a molecule.
7 of 16
Limiting reagent
The reactant that determines the theoretical yield of product.
8 of 16
Theoretical yield
The mass or amount of product produced according to the chemical equation assuming 100% reaction.
9 of 16
Percentage yield formula
Experimental yield / Theoretical yield x100
10 of 16
Absolute temperature
The temperature of a substance proportional to the average kinetic energy of its particles.
11 of 16
Absolute zero
0 K; the temperature of minimum kinetic energy.
12 of 16
STP
Standard temperature and pressure; 273 K and 100 kPa.
13 of 16
Molar volume of a gas
22.4 dm^3 = n / V
14 of 16
Avogadro's hypothesis
Equal volumes of different gasses contain equal numbers of particles at the same temperature and pressure.
15 of 16
Boyle's law
P = 1 / V at constant temperature.
