1. Molecular mass is the sum of atomic masses of the elements present in a molecule. It is obtained by multiplying the atomic
mass of each element by the number of its atoms and adding them together.
2. The mole is the amount of
substance of a system which contains as many elementary entities as there are
atoms in 0.012 kilogram of carbon-12; its symbol is ―mol.‖ When the mole is
used, the elementary entities must be specified and may be atoms, molecules,
ions, electrons, other particles, or specified groups of such particles. This
number of entities in 1 mol is so important that it is given a separate name and symbol. It is
known as "Avogadro constant", denoted by NA in honor of Amedeo Avogadro.
3. An empirical formula
represents the simplest whole number ratio of various atoms present in a
compound whereas the molecular formula shows the exact number of different
types of atoms present in a molecule of a compound.
4.
Many a time, the reactions are
carried out when the reactants are not present in the amounts as required by a
balanced chemical reaction. In such situations, one reactant is in excess over
the other. The reactant which is present in the lesser amount gets consumed
after sometime and after that no further reaction takes place whatever be the
amount of the other reactant present. Hence, the reactant which gets consumed,
limits the amount of product formed and is, therefore, called the limiting reagent.
