KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

(a) Vapour density is defined as the ratio between the masses of equal volumes of gas (or vapour) and hydrogen under the same conditions of temperature and pressure. (b) The molar volume of a gas is the volume occupied by one gram-molecular mass or by one mole of the gas at S.T.P. It is equal to 22.4 dm³. (c) The Relative atomic mass of an element is the number of times one atom of the element is heavier than times of the mass of an atom of carbon-12. (d) The Relative molecular mass of an element or a compound is the number that represents how many times one molecule of the substance is heavier than of the mass of an atom of carbon-12. (e) Avogadro's number is defined as the number of atoms present in 12 g (gram atomic mass) of C-12 isotope, i.e. 6.022 x10²³ atoms. (f) The quantity of the element which weighs equal to it's gram atomic mass is called one gram atom of that element (g) A Mole is the amount of pure substance containing the same number of chemical units as there are atoms in exactly 12 grams of carbon-12.
