study examples carefully2. Relative formula mass or molecular mass (Mr)study examples carefully

If all the individual atomic masses of all the atoms in a formula are added together you have calculated the relative formula mass* (for ionic compounds) or molecular mass (for covalent elements or compounds), Mr. * can be used for any element or compound. Whereas relative atomic mass (1. above) only applies to a single atom but anything with at least two atoms requires the term relative formula/molecular mass. The most common error is to use atomic/proton numbers instead of atomic masses, unfortunately, except for hydrogen, they are different!

Examples of formula/molecular mass calculations:

  • Example 2.1: the diatomic molecules of the elements hydrogen H2 and chlorine Cl2 
    • relative atomic masses, Ar: H = 1, Cl = 35.5
    • Formula masses, Mr, are H2 = 2 x 1 = 2, Cl2 = 2 x 35.5 = 71 respectively.
  • Example 2.2: the element phosphorus consists of P4 molecules.
    • Mr of phosphorus = 4 x its atomic mass = 4 x 31 = 124
  • Example 2.3: The compound water H2O
    • relative atomic masses are H=1 and O=16
    • Mr = (1x2) + 16 = 18 (molecular mass of water)
  • Example 2.4: The compound sulphuric acid H2SO4
    • relative atomic masses are H=1, S=32 and O=16
    • Mr = (1x2) + 32 + (4x16) = 98 (molecular mass of sulphuric acid)
  • Example 2.5: The compound calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 (ionic)
    • relative atomic masses are Ca=40, H=1 and O=16
    • Mr = 40 + 2 x (16+1) = 74
  • Example 2.6:

Hopefully it will encourage interest and understanding of Chemistry, Earth Science and Radioactivity in any country of the world, though the site is written entirely in English. The website is designed to help and unofficially support students/teachers revise-learn/teach the chemistry for modular or co-ordinated examination science courses from UK QCA based AQA, OCR (Oxford and Cambridge) Twenty First (21st) Century and Gateway Science, Edexcel 360Science , Nuffield, Salters, Cambridge International (CIE), London International, WJEC, CCEA exams etc. Also, national award assessments-examinations for GCSE-IGCSE-KS4-O level-BTEC-NVQ applied, additional and chemistry national science courses. Also covers, mainly via quizzes the UK National KS3 SATs Science-biology/chemistry/physics (SAT revision levels 3-5 or 5-7) and covers much of the revising, learning and teaching chemistry examinations for the national curriculum for secondary schools and colleges. The site does not support the content of England, Wales or Northern Ireland primary science KS1 or KS2. The notes should also provide some background theory for a coursework assignment or project. BUT please note that my on-line revision notes and quizzes are no substitute for good classroom teaching-lecturing and thorough studying of your own notes and textbooks, practicing past papers and a copy of the syllabus which are readily downloaded from the examination board sites, but I hope here and there they will lend a tutoring hand on some topic, unit, module etc. For final revision you have to be intellectually honest about what you don't know or follow, YOU have to take the stuff to pieces, analyse what you do/do not understand and reconstruct it so it all makes sense in the end. There is no other way, there are no magic secrets on how to revise and learn, its mainly down to hard work and just good old fashioned study and employing teach-yourself strategies without the need for extra tutors and tutoring lessons. I also think there is too much hit and miss revision using past papers (which I do NOT supply) and not enough systematic revision. I also hope it will help teachers in planning lessons and developing schemes of work for science-chemistry. There are no lesson plans on the site but there are plenty of quizzes to incorporate into classroom activities whether photocopied or on electronic whiteboard projector for use as self-tuition-assessment purposes and a variety of teaching and learning styles and the images may be used in Microsoft Word documents and powerpoint projections. The site seems to be used by a large number of home study tutors, particularly the revision notes. An individual tutor may print out the notes for science-chemistry learning teaching-tuition purposes and for background material for assignments and projects. I have no interest or time in producing WORD.doc or xxxx.pdf files of the notes at the moment. Neither have I time to write up many practical laboratory experiments ('lab'-'labs') at the moment, but the notes contain lots of background information of chemical reactions in terms of observations-balanced equations-reactants-products-theory etc. I also find it difficult to recommend specific exam websites or syllabus textbooks, it depends exactly on what you need, what you have time for, and there are so many of them to choose from and I do not supply past examination papers for classes. The sites resources include revision notes, quizzes and worksheets which provide support for home study or tuition for homework and coursework help e.g. science investigations for any of the key stage courses indicated, but I do not supply lesson plans.  Dr W P Brown gcse 10-11-2007 *  ks4 science examinations gcse-igcse chemistry revision *  ks4 science examinations-gcse-igcse chemistry revision *  ks4 science examinations-gcse-igcse chemistry revision *  ks4 science examinations-gcse-igcse chemistry revision *  ks4 science examinations-gcse-igcse chemistry revision *  ks4 science examinations-gcse-igcse chemistry revision
