This number is called the Avogadro constant. The symbol for the Avogadro constant is L (or NA).  Analyse mass spectra in terms of isotopic abundances:  A mass spectrometer compares how much of each isotope is present-the relative abundance (isotopic abundance).  The mass spectrum produced shows the relative abundance (isotopic abundance) on the vertical axis and the mass to ion charge ratio (m/e) on the horizontal axis. For single positively charged ions the m/e values give the nucleon number of the isotopes detected.  Calculate the relative atomic mass of an element:  To calculate the relative atomic mass: 1. Multiply each isotopic mass by its percentage abundance. 2. Add the figures together. 3. Divide by 100. ✽ Note: the number of significant figures should be consistent with the data given.  Empirical and molecular formula:  The empirical formula of a compound is the simplest whole number ratio of the elements present in one molecule or formula unit of the compound.  The molecular formula of a compound shows the total number of atoms of each element present in a molecule.  Perform calculations, including use of the mole concept, involving:  One mole of a gas occupies 24 dm 3 at room temperature (25 ° C) and a pressure of 101 kPa (1 atm).  Deduce stoichiometric relationships from calculations:
