MOLAR VOLUME OF A GAS:
- 1 mole of any gas is equal to 24 dm3 or 24,000 cm3 at room temperature (25'C) and pressure (1 atmosphere).
- Volume (dm3) = Moles of gas x 24
- Volume (dm3) = Mass of gas / Mr of gas x 24
REMEMBER DURING CALCULATIONS CONVERT cm3 TO dm3!!!!!
- For example:
What is the volume of 2 moles of chlorine?
Volume (dm3) = Moles of gas x 24
Volume (dm3) = 2 x 24 = 48 dm3
We will cover everything on the Edexcel specification for IGCSE Chemistry.

1.19 carry out mole calculations using relative atomic mass (Ar) and relative formula mass (Mr)

- To work out moles you divide the (Mass in grams (of an element / compound)) by (Relative formula / atomic mass (of an element / compound))
- The easy way to remember this is g, mr, mol. That is a triangle with a 'g' at the top, 'Mr' at the bottom left, and 'mol' at the bottom right.
1.18 understand the term mole as the Avogadro number of particles (atoms, molecules, formulae, ions or electrons) in a substance
MOLES:
- 1 mole is the same as 6.023 x 1023 atoms / molecules.
- This number is Avogadro's number which can also be known as Avogadro's constant.
- The number shows how many particles (atoms, molecules, formulae, ions or electrons) in a substance.
- 1 mole is the same as 6.023 x 1023 atoms / molecules.
- This number is Avogadro's number which can also be known as Avogadro's constant.
- The number shows how many particles (atoms, molecules, formulae, ions or electrons) in a substance.
1.17 understand the use of the term mole to represent the amount of substance
MOLES:
- A mole is a number which represents 6.023 x 1023
- 1 mole of an atom / molecule has a mass equal to its relative formula mass.
- 12g of carbon contains 1 mole or 6.023 x 1023 atoms / molecules. This means that 24g of carbon contains 2 moles of carbon.

1.16 calculate relative formula masses (Mr) from relative atomic masses (Ar)
RELATIVE FORMULA MASS (Mr):
- It is just all the relative atomic masses added together.
- MgCl2 is just 24 + (35.5 x 2) = 95
- C2H4(OH)2 is just (12 x 2) + (1 x 4) + ((16 + 1) x 2) = 62
- It is just all the relative atomic masses added together.
- MgCl2 is just 24 + (35.5 x 2) = 95
- C2H4(OH)2 is just (12 x 2) + (1 x 4) + ((16 + 1) x 2) = 62
