Gases and Solutions
One mole of any gas occupies 24dm3 at 20c
- At the same temperature and pressure, equal number of moles of any gas will occupy the same volume
- At room temperature and pressure one mole of any gas will occupy 24dm3
- You can use this formula to find the volume of a known mass of any gas
- Volume of gas = mass of gas / Mr of gas x 24
You can calculate volumes of gases in reactions
- For reactions between gases,you can use the volume of one gas to find the volume of another
Concentration is a measure of how crowded things are
- Lots of reactions in chemistry take place between substances that are dissolved in a a solution
- The amount of a substance in a certain volume of a solution is called its concentration
- The more solute there is in a given volume, the more concentrated the solution
- One way to measure the concentration of a solution is by calculating the mass of a substance in a given volume of solution
- The units will be units of mass/units of volume
- Concentration = mass of solute / volume of solvent
- Concentration = number of moles of solute / volume of solvent
