1 Moles 2 Flashcards
A solution of HCl is 1 M
What does the M stand for?
M stands for Molar
M = mole / dm3
Rearrange the concentration equation in terms of moles
n = C V
What volume does 0.5 moles of chlorine gas occupy?
12 dm3
V = n x molar volume = 0.5 mole x 24dm3/mol = 12dm3
1 mole of any gas occupies 24dm3
50 cm3 of NaOH was added to the acid.
What is this volume in dm3?
1000 cm3 = 1 dm3
50 cm3 / 1000 = 0.050 dm3
Why must we use a burette when titrating?
It allows us to measure any amount of acid/alkali with a small uncertainty. We can also add drop by drop near the end point (neutralisation point)
This burette - if used properly - measures to +- 0.1 cm3
How many moles are there in 24 dm3 of carbon dioxide gas?
1 mole of carbon dioxide molecules
1 mole of any gas occupies 24dm3 at room temp
During titration, why must we use a pipette to measure out the solution into the conical flask?
Using a pipette decreases the uncertainty in our volume reading
If this pipette is used properly it measures to +- 0.03 cm3 !!
What colour is methyl orange in acid and alkali?
red in acid
yellow in alkali
What is the relationshipe between moles, mass and RFM
moles = mass/ RFM
Define concentration
Concentration is moles per unit volume of a solution
Why must you swirl your conical flask during titration?
To fully mix the acid and alkali - ensure that the reaction is complete.
Does using a pipette and burette which both measure volume to a high resolution improve the accuracy or reliability of your results?
Using a pipette and burette and reading these at eye level and to the bottom of the meniscus improves the accuracy of your results.
Read the burette below
42.30 cm3
Do not forget to add the zero - you can tell if it is exactly on the 0.30 or if it is 0.35!!
What do we call the process of filling a burette on the floor using a funnel?
This is called ‘charging’ the burette
What colour is litmus in alkali?
blue
2H2 + O2 ⇒ 2H2O
What volume of oxygen is needed to fully react with 30 dm3 of hydrogen?
2H2 + 1O2 ⇒ 2H2O
15dm3 of oxygen
1 mole of any gas occupies the same volume- therefore use the short cut!
Mole ratio of H2 : O2 is 2 : 1
