Question
Answer
the hyphenated symbol for the 'standard' isotope used to define the relative (atomic) mass scale, whole mass is defined as 12.000000, is ___   C-12  
🗑
sum of the masses of atoms in a formula unit of an ionic compound is called ___ mass   formula  
🗑
sum of the masses of atoms in a molecule of a covalent compound is called ___ mass   molecular  
🗑
abbreviated (1-letter) unit for measuring atomic/formula/molecular mass, defined as one-twelfth the mass of a C-12 isotope, is the ___ (aka a.m.u. or 'dalton')   u  
🗑
the atomic, formula, or molecular mass measured in grams is called a ___ mass   gram  
🗑
the amount of substance containing 6.022 x 10^23 representative particles of a chemical (atoms/formula units/molecules) is a ___   mole  
🗑
representative particles (building blocks) of most elements   atoms  
🗑
representative particles (building blocks) of covalent compounds and diatomic elements   molecules  
🗑
representative particles (building blocks) of ionic compounds   formula units  
🗑
the honorary name given to 6.022 x 10^23, the # of representative particles in 1 mole, is ___ number   Avogadro's  
🗑
the portion of a compound contributed by each element is ___ composition   percent  
🗑
simplest whole # ratio of atoms in the formula of a compound is the ___ formula   empirical  
🗑
If solving for empirical formula from % composition and find coefficient ratio of 1 to ?.33 or 1 to ?.67, which multiplier is used?   3  
🗑
If solving for empirical formula from % composition and find coefficient ratio of 1 to 1.25, or 1 to 1.75, which multiplier is used?   4  
🗑
If solving for empirical formula from % composition and find coefficient ratio of 1 to 1.5, which multiplier is used?   2  
🗑
If the empirical formula for a compound is C2H5, and its molecular mass is 58.0, then what is the value of "X" used to find the molecular formula?   2  
🗑

🗑
total atoms in formula Pb3(PO4)4   23  
🗑
steps to find empirical formula from percent composition   1. pretend you have 100 g of compound 2. change % to grams 3. change g to moles 4a. divide by smallest mole 4b. find multiplier if needed 5. use #'s as subscripts  
🗑
how to find molecular formula from empirical formula and molar mass   1. (E.F. mass)X = molar mass 2. solve for X 3. use X to multiply all subscripts  
🗑
total atoms in the formula CuSO4•5H20   21  
🗑
