2.1 Atoms and reactions Flashcards
What is an isotope?
atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons and different masses
What is relative isotopic mass?
mass of an atom of an element compared with the mass of 1/12th of an atom of carbon-12
Formula with moles, mass, molar mass
moles = mass/ molar mass
What is the name of NO3-
nitrate ion
What is the name of NH4+
ammonium ion
What is the name of OH-
hydroxide ion
What is the name of SO4 2-
sulfate ion
What is the atomic number
number of protons (= electrons)
Name the 4 common acids
HCL - hydrochloric acid
H2SO4 - sulfuric acid
HNO3 - nitric acid
CH3COOH - ethanoic acid
Definition of ‘amount of substance’
the quantity whose unit is the mole
What does it mean if a substance is ‘anhydrous’?
a substance that contains no water molecules
What are the benefits of maximizing atom economy?
-more sustainable - fewer raw materials used
-minimizes chemical waste
-maximizes efficiency
-less money spent on separation process
What is the ideal gas equation?
pV=nRT
p - pressure (Pa)
V - volume (m3)
n - moles
R - ideal gas constant (8.314)
T - temperature (K)
Neutralization of acids equation
acid + base –> salt + water
How does neutralization make water?
a bade readily accepts H+ ions from the acid
e.g. OH- accept H+ to form H2O
