, multiply the atomic mass (grams) by the number of moles
How do you convert from moles to grams?
Divide the total number of grams by the atomic mass (grams) of 1 mole
How do you convert from grams to moles?
Mass
measure of the amount of matter
Compound
made from atoms of 2+ elements that are chemically bonded; cannot be separated into simpler
substances by any physical process; can be separated by a chemical reaction
Solid
Definite shape and volume
Doesn't conform to shape of container
Particles are very close together in orderly fashion with little freedom of motion
Liquid
Definite volume, indefinite shape
Conforms to shape of the part of the container it fills
Particles are close together but not rigidly in position with freedom to move past each other
Gas
No definite shape or volume
Conforms to shape and volume of container
Particles separated by distances very large compared to size of particles
Physical Property
Color, melting point, boiling point
Observed and measured without changing identity of substance
Chemical Property
Observed by performing a chemical change
Mixture
Combination of 2+ elements, each retains its identity and properties
Can be separated by physical means into pure components without changing identity of compounds
Pure Substance
fixed composition and differs from a mixture (every sample has same properties and composition)
Polyatomic Ion
