Avogadros Constant - 6.02 x 10^23 == Number of molecules in a single mole
24 dm^3 in 1 mole of gas
cm^3 → dm^3 = Divide by 1000
dm^3 → cm^3 = Multiply by 1000
Eg Question -
- How many molecules are there in 2 moles of O2
- 2 x Avogadros
- How many atoms are there in 2 moles of O2
- 2 x 2 x Avogadros
- How many atoms are there in 50 grams of C
- Mol = 50/12 = 4.16
- 4.16 x Avogadros
- How many molecules in 48 dm^3 of O2
- 1 mol = 24 dm^3, hence this is 2 moles
- 2 x Avogadros
Empirical Formula -
- If percent or mass is given of the different substances simply divide the percentage of element X by the atomic mass of element X
- Then after you find your values, divided all of those values with the smallest value gained by doing the above method
- Make it so that the numbers are all whole numbers [no decimals]
- Add the numbers obtained for each element as their subscript in the formula
