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

How to calculate moles when gas volume is given?

A

Moles (mol) = volume (dm3) / 24
Or
Moles (mol) = volume (cm3) / 24000

Q

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

A

● In continuous motion
● No 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 ideal gas equation

A

pV = nRT
Pressure (Pa) x volume (m3) = number of moles (mol) x gas constant (8.314 J
mol-1)x temperature (K)

Q

How do you calculate moles when concentration and volume are given?

A

Moles (mol) = concentration (mol dm-3) x volume (dm3)

17
Q

What is a standard solution?

A

A solution of known concentration

18
Q

Write down the steps to prepare a standard solution

A
  1. Weigh the sample bottle containing solid
  2. Transfer sample into beaker and reweigh
  3. Record mass difference
  4. Add distilled water and stir it with a glass rod until all dissolved
  5. Transfer to volumetric flask with washings
  6. Make up to 250cm3 mark by adding distilled water
  7. Shake flask
19
Q

What does the term

concentrated mean?

A

Large amount of solute per dm3 of solvent

20
Q

What does the term

dilute mean?

A

Small amount of solute per dm3 of solvent

21
Q

What is a species in a

chemical reaction?

A

Any particle that takes part in a reaction

22
Q

What are the four common state symbols?

A
  1. Solid (s)
  2. Liquid (l)
  3. Gaseous (g)
  4. Aqueous (aq)
23
Q

What does the percentage yield mean?

A

The efficiency of which reactants are converted into products

24
Q

What are the reasons for not obtaining 100% yield? (5)

A

● Reaction may be at equilibrium
● The reactants may be impure
● Side reactions could happen
● Reactants/products may be left behind while
transferring
● Loss of products during separation and purification

25
How is percentage yield calculated?
actual amount of product (mol) / theoretical amount of product (mol) x 100
26
What does atom economy tell us?
The proportion of desired products compared with all the products formed in the reaction
27
How is atom economy calculated?
Mr of desired product / sum of the Mr's of all products x 100
28
Does 100% yield mean 100% atom economy?
No, even if all the reactants are | converted into products, not all products of the reaction will be the required products
29
Which type of reaction has 100% atom economy?
``` Addition reactions (two or more reactants are combined to form a product) ```
