Chemical Formulae & Equations

Mole= Mass/RAM or RMM

Number of particles= mole X Avogadro Constant
(remember, number of atoms, ions and molecules must be identified as the calculation varies)
Example, Number of particles for 1 mole of H2 is 6.02 X 1023 molecules BUT Number of atoms will be 2 X 6.02 X 1023 ( one hydrogen molecule has 2 hydrogen atoms!)

Mass of a substance = Mole X Molar Mass
(Molar mass is calculated as RAM or RMM BUT the Unit is g per mol)

Volume of Gas = Mole X Molar Volume
(For STP, molar volume is 22.4 whereas, for room conditions, molar volume is 24)

X NA X Molar Mass
number of particles ----> mole ----> mass
l
l X Molar Volume
v
Volume of gas

Notes: 1 dm3 = 1000 cm3

  1. I would like to give a comment about this to all of 4sopan..even if u are so pro already in this calculation..u won't be able to survive if u do not know some of the element structures..looks like we all got a lot of memorizing to do yo!!..

  2. happy memorising.... the RAM value will be given in exam hehehe... but.. memorising will help when we learnt the next part of this topic... chemical formulae :D

  4. Is okay while I was in class. but I forgot after I back from school. lmao :x

  5. Who is that? Pls identify urself so I can give evaluation mark.. hehe.. well, when u forgot, u just hav to flip tru ur previous exercises... u'll be able to at least recall a little... happy studying

  6. Its vera,the out shinning girl in the class. Hehe..oww,yah..I got a question to ask though, its about the new topic. What is the state symbol in the equation represent?..I confused by that(on page 49), I see equations with brackets and have s,aq and g in it..what's that?

  7. RAm???
    Rmm????
    empirical formula????
    molecular formula????
    and blar blar blar~

  8. Hi Vera.. welcome...
    ok.. the symbol say;
    Mg(s) + O2(g) --> MgO(s)
    Means Magnesium is in the solid state, Oxygen is gas and Magnesium Oxide is also in solid state....
    **aq means aquoues... yet to be learnt... be patient..
