stoichiometry
the ratios in which chemicals react, from which we apply appropriate conversion factors to arrive at the desired calculated results
definition of avogadro's number
tells the number of particles in 1 mole (or mol) of a substance.
avogadro's number
6.022x1023
atomic weight
is the weight of a specified no. of atoms in that element
molecular weight
the sum of the atomic weights of the atoms that make up a compound
Find the molecular weight of HCl
(1.0080)+(35.45) = 36.458 g/mol (insert surname)
formula weight
sum of atomic weights but for ionic compounds
Find the formula weight of NaOH
(22.990) + (12.011) + (1.0080) = 40 g/mol (insert surname)
equivalent weight
the mass of one equivalent, that is the mass of a given substance which will combine with or displace a fixed quantity of another substance
formula of equivalent weight
percent by mass
is the ratio of the mass of a solute to the mass of the solution multiplied by 100 percent
formula of percent by mass

1.61%
percent by volume
a unit of concentration used to express the amount of solute in a solution as a percentage of the volume of the solution.
formula of percent by volume

4.11%
mole
amount or sample of a chemical substance that contains as many constitutive particles as there are atoms in 12 grams = carbon – 12 (12g C-12 = 1mol)
formula of mole
molarity
one-molar solution is defined as one that contains one mole of substance in each liter of solution
formula of molarity
normality
one normal solution contains one equivalent per liter
formula of normality
dilution
for preparation of a smaller concentration
formula of dilution
C1V1=C2V2
parts per million
represents the number of parts of a substance per million parts of the solution
formula of parts per million
