•When oxygen gas reacts with magnesium, magnesium

oxide is formed.
•Such reactions are described by balanced equations
known as "chemical equations"
Chemical equation properties
•It is composed of the chemical formulas and symbols of the
reactants and products
•An arrow separates both sides and describes the conditions and
direction of the reaction
•It describes the quantity of reactants and products (the no. of
molecules)
•It describes the state of reactants and products :
• solids are denoted by (s)
•liquids (l)
•gas (g)
• aqueous solutions (aq.)
"Mole is the measuring unit of the quantity of matter
•The mass of atom measured with mass atomic unit (Mass of the atom)
•Atomic unit (a.m.u) = 1.66 x 10−24 gm
= 1.66 x 10−27 kilogram
•For (atomic mass is 16 a.m.u) one mole of oxygen atoms=16 grams
•The atomic mass of nitrogen is 14 a.m.u one mole of nitrogen = 14
grams
•The atomic mass of carbon is 12 a.m.u, one mole of carbon = 12
grams
Molecular mass: The sum of the masses of the atoms forming molecules
of a compound
The mole: molecular mass or atomic mass expressed in grams
