The % of a product produced by a reaction, compared to a theoretical maximum

31
Q

How would you calculate percentage yield

A

mass of useful product/ expected mass of useful product x 100

32
Q

What can the percentage yield of a practical be used to investigate

A

The actual number of atoms present in an element in a compound.

34
Q

Suggest why washing a conical flask with some distilled water does not give an incorrect result

A

does not react

35
Q

what is crystallization

A

a separation technique used to separate dissolved solids from a liquid

36
Q

The student used a wash bottle containing deionised water when approaching the end-point to rinse the inside of the conical flask

Explain why this improved the accuracy of the titration

A

• Ensures all ethanedioic acid/sodium hydroxide reactants are in the mixture/solution

• Acid/ sodium hydroxide would be in the sides of the flask

37
Q

How do you calculate an empirical formula with decimals?

A

Multiply it by values until you get all non decimal values for your answer e.g C= 1, H= 1.60

5x1= 5 and 5x1.60=8
C5H8

38
Q

Define limiting factor

A

Chemical that gets used up because there isn’t enough of it which also limits the amount of product formed

39
Q

Define excess

A

There is more than enough of this chemical so more will be left over

40
Q

Define theoretical yield

A

Largest amount of product (maximum yield) that can be made assuming no problems

41
Q

Define actual yield

A

Amount of product you can make in an experiment (usually less than theoretical yield)

42
Q

Give reasons for why the actual yield is usually less than the theoretical yield

A

• Human errors-specific
• Equipment errors
• Side reactions
• Reaction didn’t finish
• Reaction was reversible

43
Q

What variables can be used to calculate percentage yield and give their equations

A

• Mass: actual mass/theoretical mass x 100

• Moles: Actual mole/theoretical mole x 100

44
Q

Define atom economy

A

Percentage value that indicates what % of our reactants are turned into useful products. We can also determine how wasteful a reaction might be

45
Q

List the factors that atom economy can determine?

A

• How efficiently raw materials are turned into the target product
• High atom economy means less waste is produced
• This also shows that there is a limited production of by-products that have no use
• By-products can be sold
• High atom economies minimise environmental impact and saves raw materials and increases sustainability
• Determines whether we should make a chemical in a particular way

46
Q

What effect can decrease atom economy

A

Equilibrium

47
Q

What type of reactions produce 100% atom economy

A

• When one product is produced

48
Q

Give the formula of atom economy

A

Mass/Mr of desired product/ total mass/Mr of reactants x 100

49
Q

What decimal point should percentages be in

A

1 decimal point

50
Q

Silver oxide, Ag2O can be reduced by passing hydrogen gas over the heated oxide. The maximum mass of silver that could be obtained from 2.32g of silver oxide is?

A

Ag 2O + H2 ->H2O + 2Ag
Moles = mass/Mr
Mr Ag2O = 232
Moles Ag2O = 2.32/232 = 0.01
2:1 ratio so 0.02 moles of Ag will form
Mass = moles x Mr = o.o2 x 108 = 2.16g

51
Q

1 mole of any gas occupies how much volume?

A

24dm-3

52
Q

How do you calculate which substance is in excess

A

moles= mass/Mr then compare which is the highest. That is the limiting reagent. This is to understand which substance affects the amount of a particular product formed

53
Q

Explain how time of flight mass spectrometry distinguishes between ions with different masses

A

• Positive ions are accelerated
• And detected
• To have a constant kinetic energy
• Lighter ion swill end up moving faster
• Faster ions arrive first at the detector

54
Q

Why do samples need to be positively charged in time of flight mass spectrometry

A

So they can be accelerated and detected

55
Q

What are relative masses

A

Masses of atoms compared to carbon-12

56
Q

What is the difference between relative isotopic mass and relative atomic mass

A

• Isotopic mass is the mass of an atom of an isotope of an element relative to 1/12th the mass of an atom of carbon-12 . And it is usually a while number
• Relative atomic mass is…. And it’s usually a decimal

57
Q

List the masses that can be measured using a mass spectrometer

A

• Relative atomic mass
• Relative molecular mass
• Relative isotopic abundance

58
Q

What is ion drift

A

The ions renter a region with no electric field, so they just drift through it. Lighter ions will drift through faster than heavier ions

59
Q

What is the difference between electro spray ionisation and electron impact ionisation

A

• Electron impact ionisation: The mass/ charge ratio of each peak is the same as the relative mass of that isotope because one electron has been knocked off.

• Electrospray ionisation: The mass/charge ratio of each peak would be one unit greater than the relative mass of each isotope because an H+ ion would have been added

60
Q

State the type of chemical reaction that occurs when calcium carbonate reacts in a test tube with nitric acid

A

Neutralisation or acid/base reaction

61
Q

A student was given a task to determine the percentage purity of a sample of salicylic acid. The method used by the student to prepare a solution of salicylic acid is described below.

*        0.500 g of an impure sample of salicylic acid was placed in a weighing bottle.

*        The contents were tipped into a beaker and 100 cm3 of distilled water were added.

*        Salicylic acid does not dissolve well in cold water so the beaker and its contents were heated gently until all the solid had dissolved.

*        The solution was poured into a 250 cm3 graduated flask and made up to the mark with distilled water.

(a)     Give two additional instructions that would improve this method for making up the salicylic acid solution. (4)

A

Weigh by difference or rinse weighing bottle and add to beaker

Rinse beaker and add washings to graduated flask

Invert flask several times to ensure uniform solution

Use a funnel to transfer to the flask and rinse the funnel

Use a stirrer to prepare the solution and rinse the stirrer
