MOLE

MOLE 
  1. The relative atomic mass of an element, the relative molecular mass of a molecule, the relative formula mass of an ionic substance or ionic mass of ionic specie when expressed in grams is called gram mole or simply mole.
  2. One mole of a substance is the amount in grams which contains 6.02×1023 particles of that substance.
  • It is denoted by “n”.
  • It is abbreviated as “mol”.
  • It is the  basic SI unit of measuring the quantity of substance.
Example:
(i)  Element                                Na       =          23g      = 1mole
(ii) Molecular compound        H2O     =          18g      = 1mole
(iii) Ionic compound               NaCl      =          58.5g   = 1mole
(iv) Ionic specie                       HCO-3    =          61g      = 1mole
(i) Gram atom (mole):
The relative atomic mass of an element when expressed in grams is called gram atom it is also called 1mole.
Example:
1gram atom (1mole) of Na = 23g
1gram atom (1mole) of Cl = 35.5g
Number of gram atoms or moles of an element =
(ii) Gram molecule (mole):
The relative molecular mass of a molecule when expressed in grams is called gram molecule. It is also called 1mole.
Example:
1gram molecule (1mole) of water = 18 g of H2O
1gram molecule (1mole) of sulphuric acid = 98 g of H2SO4

(iii) Gram formula (mole):
The relative formula mass of a formula unit when expressed in grams, is called gram formula. It is also called 1mole.
Example:
1gram formula (1mole) of NaCl     = 58.5 g
1gram formula (1mole) of Na2CO3 = 106 g
(iv) Gram ion (mole):
The ionic mass of an ionic specie when expressed in grams, is called gram ion or one mole of ion. It is also called 1mole.
Example:
1gram ion (1mole) of OH-  = 17g
1gram ion (1mole) of SO42–= 96 g
Number of gram ions or moles of an ionic specie =

Mr chips important short questions.

Chapter#1 Question # 1:How does a person spend his time in old age after retirement? Answer : After retirement when a person becomes old, he has nothing to do. His time seems to pass like lazy cattle moving across a landscape(valley). Question # 2:Why did Chips keep on adjusting his timetable according to the school bells even after the retirement? Answer : After spending more than forty three(43) years at Brookfield, it was not possible for Chips to break his ties with school. He began to live across the road and Mrs. Wickets. That's why it was possible for Chips to keep on adjusting his timetable according to the school bells. Question # 3:How did Chips voice sound in old age? Answer : Although Chips had become old yet he did not loose the zeal and zeast for the life. So his voice remained resonant and lively even in his old age. Question # 4:What did Chips do before going to the bed? Answer : Chips was spending a pleasant and placid time at Mrs. Wickets after his retirem...

DISPLACMENT, DISTANCE, SPEED, VELOCITY AND ACCELERATION

Displacement: Shortest distance between two points is called displacement                                                                OR The displacement is a change in the position of body form its initial position to final position Unit:  SI unit of displacement is metre (m)                    Dimension:             The dimension of displacement is [L] VELOCITY: The time rate of change of displacement is known as velocity. It is a vector quantity. Its direction is along the direction of displacement. Mathematically...

Proteins

PROTEINS Introduction Proteins are the most abundant organic compounds to be found in cells and comprise over  50%  of their total dry weight. They are present in all types of cells and in all parts of the cell. Function Proteins perform many functions. Some of their important functions are; They  build many structures  of the cell. All  enzymes  are proteins and in this way they control the whole metabolism of the cell. Some hormones  are also proteins and regulate metabolic processes. Some proteins (e.g.  haemoglobin )   work as carriers and transport specific substances such as oxygen, lipid, metal ions etc. Some proteins called  antibodies , defend the body against pathogens. Blood clotting  proteins prevent the loss of blood from the body after an injury. Movement  of organs and organisms and movement of chromosomes during anaphase of cell division, are caused by proteins. Amino acids as units of protei...
