Q

Why do different gas particles occupy the same volume?

A

The gas particles are very spread out, hence individual differences has no effect.

Q

What are the ideal ways in which gases behave. (5)

A
  • they are in continuous motion
  • non intermolecular forces experienced
  • exert pressure when they collide with each other or container
  • no kinetic energy is lost in the collisions
  • when temperature increases, kinetic energy of gases also increase

Q

Write down the steps to prepare a standard solution.

A
  1. Weigh the solute using the weigh by difference method
  2. In a beaker dissolve the solute using the solvent
  3. Pour the solution into a volumetric flask
  4. Rinse the beaker using the solution and add it to the flask
  5. Add solvent to the flask carefully ipuntil it reaches the graduation line
  6. Mix the solution thoroughly to ensure complete mixing

Q

What are the reasons for not obtaining 100% yield?

A
  • reaction may be at equilibrium
  • the reactants may be impure
  • side reactions could happen
  • reactants or products may be left behind while transferring
  • loss of products during separation and purification

Q

What does atom economy tell us about?

A

The proportion of desired products compared with all the products formed in the reaction.

17
Q

How is atom economy calculated?

A

Atom economy = (molecular mass of desired product / sum of the molecular masses of all products) x 100

18
Q

Which type of reaction has 100% atom economy?

A

Addition reactions
