Mole formulas
Electromagnetic radiation
o c=vλ
Speed = frequency x wavelength/lambda
In a vacuum, c = 3 x 10^8
o E = hv
E = energy of light in Joules
H is a constant = 6.626 x 10^-34
V = frequency of light in s^-1 or waves (Hz)
- To calculate first ionisation energy
o (1 – atomic number)^2 x 13.6
The gas laws
- Boyle’s law
o V ∝ 1/P
o Volume of a gas is inversely proportional to pressure (where temperature and moles are
constant)
- Charles’ Law
o V∝T
o Volume of a gas is proportional to its absolute temperature (where pressure and
number of moles are constant)
- Avogadro’s principle
o V∝n
o Volume of a gas is proportional to number of moles of gas particles
- Ideal gas law
o Pv = nRT
P = pressure in atm/pascal
V = volume in litres
N = number of moles
T = temperature in kelvin (0° C = 273° K)
R = ideal gas constant
8.314 J/K/mol
o Use when pressure is given in Pascals
0.0821 L atm K/mol
o Use when pressure is given in atm
Molar volume
Tb = Kb x m
- Change in Tb = number of degrees by which the solution’s boiling point is raised above the
normal boiling point for the pure solvent
- m = molality of solute in mol/kg
o Solute concentration is expressed as molality because this unit is independent of
temperature (unlike molarity)
- Kb = the molal boiling point elevation constant
o For water, the value is 0.512 degrees C/m
Osmosis
o Pi = cRT
- Pi = osmotic pressure (atm)
- C = solute concentration (molarity)
- R = ideal gas constant (8.3145 J/mol/K or 0.0821 L atm/mol/K)
- T = temperature in K
First-order reactions
Heat capacity
o qn = n x Cp x delta T
n = matter being heated or cooled
The units for Cp are J/K/mol or J/K/g or J/K/kg
The units for qn are J or kJ
