What is the mole?
Show answer
A mole is the amount of substance that contains the same number of particles as there are atoms in 12 g12\ \text{g} of carbon-12. That number, the Avogadro constant, is 6.0×10236.0 \times 10^{23} particles per mole. The key point for calculations is that one mole of any substance has a mass in grams equal to its relative atomic or molecular mass.
What is the moles equation?
Show answer
The link between mass, moles and relative mass is:
What are reacting masses from equations?
Show answer
A balanced equation gives the ratio in which substances react and form, in moles. The routine for a reacting-mass problem is:
What is q1?
Show answer
Define the term mole. [2 marks]
What is q2?
Show answer
Calculate the relative molecular mass of carbon dioxide, CO2\text{CO}_2. (ArA_r: C =12= 12, O =16= 16.) [2 marks]
What is q3?
Show answer
How many moles are there in 8.0 g8.0\ \text{g} of methane, CH4\text{CH}_4? (Mr=16M_r = 16.) [2 marks]
