amount of substance (2) Flashcards
concentration equation
number of moles over volume
concentration
mol dm3
cm3 to dm3
divide by 1000
dm3 to cm3
times 1000
dm3 to m3
divide by 1000
m3 to dm3
times 1000
percentage atom economy
mr of product over mr of reactants times 100
percentage yield
mass of product over theoretical mass times 100
mg to g
divide by 1000
concordant titre
Titres that are within 0.1 cm3 of each other
The student rinses the burette with deionised water before filling with
sodium hydroxide solution.
State and explain the effect, if any, that this rinsing will have on the value of
the titre
Titre value would increase
Because the sodium hydroxide solution would be more dilute
State the importance of percentage yield and percentage atom economy when
choosing the method used to make a compound.
PY = idea of getting as much product as possible in the reaction
pae = idea of maximising the mass of reactants
State why the student should use sodium hydroxide solution rather than
water for the final rinse of the burette
use of water would dilute the NaOH
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.
it ensures all acid would be on the sides of the flask
