elementry entities as there are carbon atoms in exactly 12 g of 12C. NA = 6.022 X 1023 The following are the definitions of 'mole' represented in the form of equations: (1) no. of moles of molecules/atoms = weight in g molecular/atomic wt (2) no. of moles of gases = volume at NTP standard molar volume (i.e. 22.4 L) (3) no. of moles of entities = no. of entities

Avagadro constant (i.e. 6.022 X 10 ) (4) no. of moles of solute = molarity X volume of solution in L no. of millimoles = molarity X volume of solution in mL (5) For a compound MxNy, x moles of N = y moles of M
Principle of Atom Conservation (POAC): This principle states that the moles of atoms of an element are conserved throughout the reaction. This means, moles of an element in reactants = moles of the element in products. eg. CO + O2 -----> CO2 In this moles of C in CO = moles of C in CO2 This means, moles of CO = moles of CO2.
Similarly, for O, moles of O in CO + moles of O in O2 = moles of CO2 Thus, moles of CO + 2(moles of O2) = 2(moles of CO2)
Advantages of Mole Method over other Methods: (1) Balancing of chemical equations is not required in the majority of problems as the method of balancing the chemical equation is based on the principle of conservation of atom conservation. (2) Number of reactions and their sequences, leading from reactants to products, need not be given.
Note: Whenever balanced chemical equation is given, mole method is very useful. eg. 2KClO3 -----> 2KCl + 3O2 Thus, 2(moles of KClO3) = 2(moles of KCl) 3(moles of KClO3) = 2(moles of O2) 3(moles of KCl) = 2(moles of O2)
Concept of Limiting Reagent: In single-reactant reactions, the calculations are carried out with only that amount of the reactant which has converted to the product. In the reactions where more than on reactant is involved, one has to first identify the limiting reactant, i.e., the reactant which is completely consumed. All calculations are to be carried out with the amount of the limiting reactant only. Initially ..... 5 moles A + 12 moles 2B -----> 0 moles 4C
If B is limiting reactant: moles of C produced = 24 The reactant producing the least number of moles of the product is the limiting reactant and hence A is the limiting reactant. Thus, Initially ..... 5 moles A + 12 moles 2B ------> 4 moles 0 moles 4C
20 moles
The limiting reactant can also be ascertained by knowing the initial number of equivalents of each reactant. The reactant with the least number of equivalents is the limiting reactant.
Note: Generally, when the initial moles / equivalents of all the reactants is given, then the question is based on the concept of limiting reagent.

and if the mixture is cooled, H2O vapour changes to liquid. Hence, When temperature is above 100 0C (373 K) then only volume of H2O is considered.
Eudiometry is mainly based on Avogadro's law, A(g) + B(g) -----> C(g) + D(g)
Chemical Equivalence: One equivalent of any substance is the amount of that substance that combines with 1 g H or displaces 1 g H.
no. of equivalents =
weight
equivalent weight
For metals in hydrides, oxides and chlorids, eq. wt = atomic weight valency (in the compd)
Equivalent weight = Molecular weight n Hence, no. of equivalents = no. of moles X n Hence, Normality = Molarity X n
Neutralisation reactions:
For acids, n = no of replacable H+ ions Thus, for HCl - n = 1 H2SO4 - n = 2 H3PO4 - n = 3 H3PO3 - n = 2
For bases, n = no of OH- ions provided by the base. Thus, for NaOH - n = 1 Ca(OH)2 - n = 2
For salts, n = total charge on cations or anions Thus, for NaCl - n = 1 CaCl2 - n = 2 Ca3(PO4)2 - n = 6
Note: When the reactions are provided, then take the n - factor according to the reaction. eg. H3PO4 + NaOH -----> NaHPO4 + H2O Here only 1 H is replaced, n = 1
When 2 or more indicators are mentioned in the question, then the reaction takes place in two phases. Phenolphthalein shows colour change after the first step and Methyl Orange shows the colour change after the completion of the complete reaction. 2Na2CO3 + H2SO4 n=1 n=2 Na2SO4 + 2H2CO3 2NaHCO3 + Na2SO4
Redox Reactions: n = total change in oxidation number for the molecule / ion total number of electrons gained / lost by the molecule

Disproportionation reaction: Simultaneous oxidation & reduction of an element present in the molecule or ion in the same reaction. In this, Eq. wt. of molecule= (Eq. wt. due to oxidation) + (Eq. wt. due to reduction) And ( 1 / noverall) = ( 1 / noxi ) + ( 1 / n red
