4 Moles Flashcards
4.4 moles of iron are reacted with excess oxygen. How many moles of oxygen reacted?
Mole ration of Fe to O2 is 4 : 1
4.4 / 4 = 1.1 moles of oxygen reacts
The apparatus below is used to find the empirical formula of magnesium oxide.
2Mg + O2 –> 2MgO
- Measure the mass of the crucible + lid
- Add a coiled piece of magnesium metal
- Measure the mass of the crucible + lid + magnesium metal
- Heat the crucible using a roaring flame - be sure to lift the lid every minute and replace it
- When all the magnesium turns white, turn off the Bunsen burner and allow it to cool
- Measure the mass of the crucible + lid + Magnesium oxide.
- Repeat the heating and measuring the mass when cool until constant mass is reached.
How would the mass of oxygen be calculated from the data?
{Mass of crucible + lid + magnesium oxide} - {Mass of crucible + lid+ magnesium}
Below is the set up that can be used to work out the formula for the water of crystallisation of copper (II) sulfate.
What measurements must be taken to work out the ratio of CuSO4 to H2O at 1 :5?
- mass of evaporating basin
- mass of evaporating basin + hydrated copper sulfate - before heating
- mass of evaporating basin + anhydrous copper sulfate- after heating

- Measure the mass of the crucible + lid + Magnesium oxide.
- Repeat the heating and measuring the mass when cool until constant mass is reached.
Why is the heating repeated until constant mass is acheived?
To ensure all the magnesium has reacted
Below is the set up that can be used to work out the formula for the water of crystallisation of copper (II) sulfate.
The following measurements were taken:
- mass of evaporating basin
- mass of evaporating basin + hydrated copper sulfate - before heating
- mass of evaporating basin + anhydrous copper sulfate- after heating
Why must the crystals be heated until constant mass is reached?
To ensure that all the water has been removed- When all the water has been removed, the mass will no londer change.
How is molecular mass different from molar mass (relative formula mass)
Molecular mass is the relative mass of one molecule of a substance measure relative to carbon-12 just like realtive atomic mass is the relative mass of one atom of an element
However, molar mass or relative formula mass is the mass of one mole of that substance measured in g/mol.
Rearrange the equation to make mass the subject of the equation
mass = n x RFM
What does Mr stand for?
Relative molecular mass- mass of one molecule of a substance compared to 1/12th the mass of a carbon-12 atom and taking into consideration the abundance of the isotopes of the atoms the molecule is made of.
Below is an example calculation for the empirical formula of Fe2O3
List the steps taken to determine the empirical formula of a substance
- Calculate the moles of each element
- Divide by the smallest (1 : 1.5)
- multiply up to a whole number (2 : 3)
- Assign the ratio to show the empirical formula (Fe2O3)
What is a mole?
The measure of amount of substance
Below is the set up that can be used to work out the formula for the water of crystallisation of copper (II) sulfate.
The following measurements were taken:
- mass of evaporating basin
- mass of evaporating basin + hydrated copper sulfate - before heating
- mass of evaporating basin + anhydrous copper sulfate- after heating
How can you calculate the mass of water in hydrated copper sulfate?
mass of water = (mass of evaporating basin + hydrated copper sulfate) - (mass of evaporating basin + anydrous copper sulfate)
Below is the set up that can be used to work out the formula for the water of crystallisation of copper (II) sulfate.
The following measurements were taken:
- mass of evaporating basin
- mass of evaporating basin + hydrated copper sulfate - before heating
- mass of evaporating basin + anhydrous copper sulfate- after heating
Why must the crystals not be overheated?
To prevent the crystals from reacting and forming other products- only the water must to be removed- over heating may create dangerous fumes which should not be breathed in.
Below is the set up that can be used to work out the formula for the water of crystallisation of copper (II) sulfate.
The following measurements were taken:
- mass of evaporating basin
- mass of evaporating basin + hydrated copper sulfate - before heating
- mass of evaporating basin + anhydrous copper sulfate- after heating
How can you calculate the mass of copper sulfate in the sample?
mass of copper sulfate = (mass of evaporating basin + _anhydrous_ copper sulfate) - (mass of evaporating basin)
What equation links moles, mass and RFM?
What is the mole ratio of methane to chlorine ?
1 : 4
What is the mass of one mole of carbon?
12 grams
