The Mole Concept

Chapter No. 2, Page No. 64

1. What is Avogadro’s Law?

Ans. Equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain
equal numbers of molecules.

2. What does one mole of gas contain?

Ans. 1 mole of any gas contains the same number of molecules and so
occupies the same volume as 1 mole of any other gas at the same
temperature and pressure.

3. What is the molar volume?

Ans. At room temperature and pressure, the volume occupied by 1 mole of
any gas is approximately 24dm3. The volume occupied by 1 mole of a gas is
often called the molar volume.

4. What is the percentage composition of compounds?

Ans. Having worked out the Mr of a compound, the percentage of that is made
from a particular element can now be worked out. This is done using the Mr
of the compound and the Ar of the element we are interested in.

5. What is the mole concept?

Ans. In Chemistry, the mole is a unit of the amount of substance. We can talk
about an amount of substance in grams on an amount of substance in moles.
