SOME BASIC CONCEPTS IN CHEMISTRY
├── LAWS OF CHEMICAL COMBINATION
│ ├── Conservation of Mass (Lavoisier, 1789)
│ ├── Definite Proportions (Proust, 1799)
│ ├── Multiple Proportions (Dalton, 1803)
│ ├── Gaseous Volumes (Gay-Lussac, 1808)
│ └── Avogadro's Law (1811)
│
├── MOLE CONCEPT
│ ├── 1 mol = $6.022 \times 10^{23}$ entities
│ ├── Molar mass = mass (g) per mol
│ ├── 1 amu = $1.66054 \times 10^{-24}$ g
│ └── Molar volume at STP = 22.4 L/mol
│
├── MOLE CONVERSIONS (hub)
│ ├── Mass ↔ Moles (÷ or × molar mass)
│ ├── Moles ↔ Particles (÷ or × Nₐ)
│ └── Moles ↔ Volume at STP (÷ or × 22.4)
│
├── PERCENTAGE COMPOSITION & FORMULAE
│ ├── % element = (n × at. mass / molar mass) × 100
│ ├── Empirical formula — simplest ratio
│ │ └── Steps: divide by at. mass → ÷ by min → simplify
│ └── Molecular formula = n × EF (n = Mr / EF mass)
│
├── STOICHIOMETRY
│ ├── Balanced equation → mole ratios
│ ├── Limiting reagent — smallest (moles / coefficient)
│ └── Theoretical yield from limiting reagent
│
└── CONCENTRATION TERMS
├── Molarity (M) — mol/L — T-dependent
├── Molality (m) — mol/kg solvent — T-independent
├── Mole fraction (x) — dimensionless — T-independent
├── Normality (N) — eq/L — N = M × n-factor
├── Mass % — T-independent
└── ppm — mg/kg — for trace concentrations
