The Mole & Avogadro Constant
- The mole (mol) is the SI unit for amount of substance.
- One mole contains 6.02 × 10²³ particles (atoms, molecules, or ions) – the Avogadro constant.
- One mole of sodium (Na) contains 6.02 × 10²³ Na atoms; one mole of H₂ contains 6.02 × 10²³ H₂ molecules.
- Molar mass of an element = relative atomic mass in grams; for a compound = relative formula mass in grams.
- At RTP (20 °C, 1 atm), one mole of any gas occupies 24 dm³ (or 24 000 cm³) – the molar gas volume.
- Gas volume (dm³) = moles × 24; moles = volume (dm³) ÷ 24.

Linking Moles, Mass & Mr
- Moles = mass (g) ÷ Mᵣ (or Aᵣ for elements).
- Mass = moles × Mᵣ.
- Example: 0.250 mol Zn (Aᵣ=65) has mass = 0.250 × 65 = 16.25 g.
- Example: 2.64 g sucrose (Mᵣ=342) gives moles = 2.64 ÷ 342 = 7.72 × 10⁻³ mol.
- Use the formula triangle: cover the quantity you want to find.

Reacting Masses & Limiting Reactants
- Use balanced equation to find molar ratio between reactants and products.
- Convert given mass to moles, then use ratio to find moles of required substance, then convert back to mass.
- Limiting reactant is the one used up first; it determines the amount of product.
- To identify limiting reactant: calculate moles of each reactant, compare with the molar ratio from the equation.
- Example: 2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO; 6.0 g Mg (0.25 mol) gives 0.25 mol MgO (mass = 10 g).
Calculating Concentration
- Concentration in g/dm³ = mass of solute (g) ÷ volume (dm³).
- Concentration in mol/dm³ = moles of solute ÷ volume (dm³).
- To convert g/dm³ to mol/dm³, divide by molar mass; to convert mol/dm³ to g/dm³, multiply by molar mass.
- Always convert cm³ to dm³ by dividing by 1000.
- Example: 10 g NaOH in 2 dm³ gives 5 g/dm³.

Titration Calculations
- Use the balanced equation to find the mole ratio between acid and base.
- Calculate moles of known solution: moles = concentration × volume (dm³).
- Use ratio to find moles of unknown, then concentration = moles ÷ volume (dm³).
- Example: 25.0 cm³ HCl titrated with 12.1 cm³ 0.100 mol/dm³ NaOH (1:1 ratio) gives [HCl] = 0.0484 mol/dm³.

Empirical & Molecular Formula
- Empirical formula is the simplest whole‑number ratio of atoms in a compound.
- To find empirical formula: divide each element's mass (or % mass) by its Aᵣ, then divide by the smallest result to get a ratio; multiply to get whole numbers if needed.
- Molecular formula = (empirical formula)ₙ, where n = Mᵣ(compound) ÷ Mᵣ(empirical formula).
- Example: empirical formula CH₂O (Mᵣ=30); if Mᵣ=60, n=2, so molecular formula = C₂H₄O₂.
- Water of crystallisation: use similar method to find x in hydrated salt formula (e.g., CuSO₄·xH₂O).
Percentage Yield & Purity
- Percentage yield = (actual yield ÷ theoretical yield) × 100%.
- Actual yield is the mass obtained; theoretical yield is calculated from the balanced equation.
- Percentage purity = (mass of pure substance ÷ total mass of sample) × 100%.
- Percentage composition by mass = (total mass of element in compound ÷ Mᵣ of compound) × 100%.
- Example: Fe₂O₃ (Mᵣ=160) contains 112 g Fe → %Fe = (112÷160)×100 = 70%.
