amount of substance Flashcards
State Avogardo’s Law
Under the same temperature and pressure, one mole of any gas would occupy the same volume
What are the benefits for sustainability of developing chemical processes with a high atom economy?
- Less waste product produced, therefore less waste product is needed to be disposed of in the environment
- Lower energy demands for reaction conditions are cheaper to run and better for the environment
- Non-renewable sources are better for the environment
How do you rearrange the ideal gas equation to work out temperature
T = PV / nR
What does atom economy tell us?
The proportion of desired products compared with all the products formed in the reaction
What are the ideal ways in which gases behave?
- They are in continuous motion
- No intermolecular forces experienced
- Exert a pressure when they collide with each other or container
- No kinetic energy is lost in the collisions
- When temperature increases, kinetic energy of gases increases
Which type of reaction has 100% atom economy?
Addition reactions
two or more reactants are combined to form a product
Does 100% yield mean 100% atom economy and why?
- No
- Even if all reactants are converted into products, not all products of the reaction will be the desired product
How do you rearrange the ideal gas equation to work out pressure
p = (nRT) / V
How do you calculate the moles of a gas?
moles = volume (dm3) / 24
How much volume does a gas occupy, at room temperature and pressure?
24dm3
What is the equation to calculate solution volume?
volume = moles / concentration
What does the Avogardo constant represent
The number of atoms per mole of the carbon-12 isotope
How do you rearrange the ideal gas equation to work out moles
n = PV / RT
What are the units for the ideal gas equation
Pressure = Pa
Volume = m3
Gas constant = 8.314 J mol-1
Temperature = K
What is the pressure and temperature at r.t.p?
Pressure = 100 kPa / 1atm Temperature = 298 K / 25°C
What is the unit used to measure amount of substance
moles
1 atmospheric pressure (atm) is equal to how many pascal (Pa)?
1 atm = 101,325 Pa
What is the symbol for amount of substance?
n
