3 Stochiometry Flashcards
molecular formula
defines the number of atoms of each element in one molecule of a compound.
- shows actual number of atoms in a molecule
empirical formula
the simplest whole number ratio of the different atoms or ions in a compound
relative atomic mass
average mass of the isotopes of an element compared to 1/12th the mass of an 12C atom
relative molecular mass
sum of the relative atomic masses
relative formula mass
sum of relative atomic masses, but in ionic compounds
concentration/molarity
mol/vol or g/vol
mole
unit amount of substance and that one mole contains 6.02x10^23
mole formula
mass / molar mass
molar gas volume at room temperature and pressure
24dm^3
Moles of gas formula
vol/24
titration
a way of determining the concentration of an acid/base by determining the precise volume of acid/base that will completely react with it
percentage yield
actual yield/predicted yield x 100
percentage purity
mass of pure product/mass of product x 100
atom economy
relative formula mass of desired products/sum of relative formula mass of all reactants
