Relative masses of atoms and molecules

What this topic asks you to be able to do

  • Define relative molecular mass, Mr, as the total of the relative atomic masses; with ionic compounds, the quantity used is relative formula mass, Mr.
  • Find the value of relative molecular mass together with relative formula mass.
  • Calculate stoichiometric reacting masses
  • Work out concentration, taken as the mass of solute that is dissolved within a particular volume of solution and measured in g/dm3
  • Use balances, volumetric flasks and volumetric pipettes to make up a solution whose concentration is known
