1 Mole = number of atoms in 12 g of carbon Experiments have determined that in 12g of carbon there are 6.022 x 10^23 number of atoms. In other words, 1 mole of carbon contains 6.022 x 10^23 atoms!
Carbon and Carbon covalent bonds Carbons are typically nice guys who like sharing their electrons with other atoms. They’re found in most places and social gatherings – cinemas, theaters, restaurants, parties, football matches, and any where nature is present. They enjoy Read More …
1 mole = 6.022 x 10^23 Avogadro’s Constant 1 mole = Molar Mass Molar Mass No. of moles = Mass / Molar Mass Moles Calculation 1 Mole = number of atoms in 12g of carbon Mole vs Carbon relationship Mole Read More …
What is COVALENT BOND? The term covalent bond is used to describe the bonds in compounds that result from the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons. In covalent bonds, the electrons are shared equally between two atoms. However, Read More …
How to calculate molecular mass? Determine the molecular formula of the compound. Use the periodic table to determine the atomic mass of each element in the molecule. Multiply the atomic mass of each element by the number of molecules. Finally, Read More …
For drawing purposes, the ring structure of the glucose molecule is broken down into three simple steps as shown below. Each molecule of glucose sugar is only 1 unit consisting of 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms in Read More …
What are Monosaccharides? Monosaccharides are known as simple sugars, they are the simplest form of carbohydrate. They are short chain molecules containing only one chemical ring. Since they are only one ring, they can undergo chemical reactions to provide quick Read More …
Organic Chemistry Carbohydrate chemistry is a branch of organic chemistry that studies carbon compounds. Carbon can be found in food and non-food substance. As carbon plays a huge role in living things, organic chemistry is very important to medicine and life Read More …

Systems Systems refer to any parts of the universe being studied. If you are conducting an experiment in a beaker, then the system you are studying is in the beaker. The system is subject to surrounding factors such as air Read More …
What is the Octet Rule of Electron Configuration? Electron configuration is the arrangement of electrons in each energy level or orbit of an atom. If the outer shell of an atom is not filled to its maximum level, the atom Read More …
Example: Propane Combustion When (0.5g) of propane is burned, the heat produced is used to raise the temperature of (100cm3) of water from (20°C to 40°C), calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction. In this example, you are Read More …
Enthalpy Entropy Gibbs Free Energy Enthalpy is the amount of heat energy transferred (heat absorbed or emitted) in a chemical process under constant pressure. Entropy measures the amount of heat dispersed or transferred during a chemical process. Gibbs Read More …
WHAT IS ENTHALPY CHANGE? Don’t get hung up with the term enthalpy change. It is just a simple term to denote the amount of heat that passes in or out of a system during a chemical reaction under constant pressure. Read More …
WHAT IS HESS LAW? Hess law states that energy change in the overall chemical reaction is the sum of energy change or enthalpy change in the individual reactions that comprises it. Hess’ Law can be difficult to understand because of all the Read More …
METHANE GAS – CH4 What is the enthalpy change when methane is formed using carbon graphite and hydrogen? When a chemical reaction takes place, heat is either given off or absorbed. If given off, it is called an exothermic reaction. Read More …
In the question above, you are asked to calculate Gibb’s Free Energy for the Haber Process. The Haber Process is a process of manufacturing ammonia in a factory. The raw materials are nitrogen and hydrogen. Nitrogen is obtained by burning Read More …
What is Gibbs Free Energy? For a simple definition, Gibbs free energy can be described as A measure of the amount of energy available to do work. Gibbs free energy is used in chemistry to help determine and predict ahead Read More …
(Picture above – Dog escaping over the fence – winter 2015) A spontaneous process is a physical or chemical change that occurs with no outside intervention. In life, many things happen spontaneously. For example, my dog escaped over the fence Read More …
WHAT IS ENTROPY? Entropy refers to the amount of unusable energy in a system When water flows over a dam, it looses some of its useful energy. Solid wood burns to become ash. Ice melting. Converting the useful energy to Read More …
CARBON TO CARBON BONDING We know from the periodic table Carbon atoms have 4 valence electrons on the outer shells. According to the Octet Rule of Electron Configuration, this means the four are free to wonder and find opportunity to Read More …
Condensation polymers are any kind of polymers formed through a condensation reaction where molecules join together–losing small molecules as by-products such as water or methanol.
In addition polymerization, all the original atoms present in the monomers are retained in the polymer product.
Plastic classifications is a system established to allow consumers to properly recycle and dispose of different types of plastics. Manufactures follow a coding system and place an SPI code on each plastic product, and are usually printed or modeled into the bottom.
Polymerization is simply the process of putting together monomers (single molecules), to become a long chain of molecules (called polymers) with the use of a catalyst.
Knowing the number of moles allows you to calculate the number of atoms if you are dealing with chemical compounds. Moles are very useful, they allow chemists to use chemical equations to determine the mass of reactants and products. Read about Read More …
