3.2.2 Amount Of Substance Flashcards
Relative atomic mass
The average mass of an atom of an element on a scale where an atom of carbon 12 is exactly 12
Relative molecular mass
Average mass of a molecule on a scale where an atom of carbon 12 is exactly 12
Relative formula mass
The average mass of a formula unit on a scale where carbon 12 is exactly 12
What is relative formula mass used for
Ionic compounds
Avogadro
6.02 x 10^-23
Mr mole lives under the?
Mass
Concentration =
Mol / volume
Ideal gas equation
pV = nRT
p = pressure Pa
V = volume m^3
n = moles
R = molar gas constant 8.31
T = temp K
Celsius to kelvins
+ 273
Empirical formula
Simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound
Molecular formula
The actual number of atoms in each element of a compound
Percentage yield
Actual/theoretical x 100
Atom economy
Mr useful product / mr total reactants
Remember to use big numbers
Economic advantages of high atom economy
Making lots of waste is economically not viable
Byproducts also require separation, disposal, additional costs
Environmental advantages of atom economy
Processing fewer raw materials
Less waste , which harms environment
More sustainable
