Amount of Substance Calculations
- As previously discussed, the amount of substance can be defined as the number of particles in a substance, n, measured in moles (often abbreviated to mol)
- In reality, amount of substance is used as a blanket term to cover most chemical calculations, especially those that involve moles
- The two main calculations for amount of substance are:
Moles, n =
Moles, n = concentration x volume
- Other common calculations for amount of substance include:
Moles, n =
Moles, n =from the ideal gas equation (PV = nRT)
