Amount Of Substance Flashcards
How many particles does one mole contain ?
6.02 x 10^23
Formula for converting between no. Of particles and no. Of moles
Number of particles = number of moles x avagadro’s constant
What is the moles , mass and mr equation
Moles = mass/mr
Important conversions
1 ton = 1000000g
1kg = 1000g (x 1000)
1mg = 0.001g ( divide by 1000)
What are the three steps to moles mass and mr equation
Step 1 : find number of moles of the compound which the mass is given for
Step 2 : determine ratio of number of moles between the compound which we had the mass for and the compound that we need to find the mass for
Step 3 : find the mass of the compound using the number of moles
Mass = mr x mole
What are the steps to a moles, mass and mr question when we are given the mass of both reactants
Step 1 : calculate the number of moles for each compound (eg 3.75 and 0.35)
Step 2 : pick one compound and find the ratio of the other to see which one is in excess and which one is limiting
(Eg if 0.35 and ratio 1:2 then we only need 0.70 but we have 3.75)
The limiting one is the one we use
Find the ratio of the limiting reactant and the product we need to find
Step 3 : find the mass of the product
What formula do you use to calculate no. Of moles from concentration ?
Moles = concentration x volume
What is concentration equation
Conc = moles/vol
Important conversions for concentration equation
Cm 3 to dm3 = divide by 1000
Dm 3 to m 3 = divide by 1000
Cm 3 to m3 = divide by 1000000
Steps to calculating normal concentration equation
Step 1 : Use equation to find number of moles of given reactant
Using the concentration of it and the volume
Step 2: use ratio to find number of moles of next reactant for product
Step 3 : find conc using equation
Steps to find concentration when given the mass of a reactant
Step 1 First use moles = mass/ mr for the given reactants
Step 2 : ratio to find number of moles for other compound
Step 3 : find conc
How do you use the concentration equation in a question where you are given the moles of one reactant and the vol and conc of reactant and you need to find the product
Step 1 : find the number of moles of the one where you are given the concentration and the volume
Step 2 : find the ratio between this and the compound with the number of moles given.
Find out which one is in excess and which one is limiting
The limiting one should be used in the ratio with the compound you are trying to find
ZnO + 2HCl -> ZnCl2 + H20
ZnO = 0.0830 moles
2HCl = 100cm3 and 1.20 mol dm-3
Find the mass of ZnCl2
Step 1 : find moles of both Already given moles of ZnO Moles of HCl = conc x vol = 1.20 x 100/1000=0.12 Step 2 : ratio of HCl to ZnO 2:1 so 0.12/2 = 0.06 0.06 is less than ZnO so HCl limiting Step 2.5 : ratio of HCl and ZnCl2 = 2:1 Moles of ZnCl2 = 0.06 Step 3 : mass = mr x mol
What is the molecular formula ?
The average masses of atoms in formula compared to 1/12th mass of an atom of carbon 12
What is a standard (volumetric ) solution ?
A solution that you know the exact concentration of
What does the making of a standard solution involve ?
Involves dissolving a known amount of solid in known amount of water to create known concentration molecules
Describe how would you make 250 cm3 of 2.00 mol dm-3 solution
- 0.5 moles of sodium hydroxide needed and 20.0g of sodium hydroxide needed
- place weighing boat on digital balance and weigh out mass of solid
- Tip it into beaker
- reweigh boat
- Subtract mass of boat from mass of boat and solid together = find precise mass of solid. (Record difference).
- Add distilled water to beaker (eg 100dm3) and stir until sodium hydroxide dissolved
- Pour solution into 250 cm3 volumetric flask using funnel
- Rinse beaker , stirring rod with distilled water and add washing to flask
- Add solvent to correct volume until graduation line then drop by drop until bottom of meniscus reaches the line.
- Invert flask several times to make sure it is mixed and a uniform solution
Why do you rinse the beaker and stirring rod with distilled water and add that to flask
Makes sure no solute clings to the beaker or rod
What do titrations allow you to do ?
Allow to find out exactly the volume of acid needed to neutralise quantity of alkali
What is the method for titration
- Use Pipette to measure 250 cm3 set volume of solution/ solid you want to find concentration of into conical flask
2.add few drops of indicator - Fill Burette with standard solution of acid HCl) mention what concentration the HCL or acid is
- Use funnel to pour acid into burette - done at eye level
- Do rough titration to get idea of end point by adding acid to alkali using burette and give flasks regular swirls
- Do accurate titaration
Take initial reading of acid
Run acid with 2cm3 of end point
Add acid drop wise until end point reached
How do you find volume of titre
Final reading - initial reading
Until when should you repeat the titration
Until you have 3 concordat results
What is a anomalous result
A result that it more or less than 5 away from the other results
What kind of indicators should be used ?
Ones that change colour quickly so have a small ph range so we know exactly when the reaction has ended
