A

n=moles/molar mass

19
Q

What is molar mass equivalent to?

A

Relative formula mass

20
Q

What is stoichiometry?

A

The relationship between amount of reactant and product in the form of a balance equation.

21
Q

How to work out mass of a product from given mass

A

1) Write balance equation
2) Work out moles of known mass
3) Work our moles of unknown using reacting ratio
4) Find mass with m=nxMr

22
Q

Mole equation 3 (gas)

A

n=volume of gas/24

23
Q

How do you convert from cm3 to dm3?

A

Divide by 1000 and vice versa.

24
Q

What is the empirical formula practical?

A

Weigh crucible and lid
Add magnesium ribbon (coiled) and weigh again
Heat magnesium ribbon with lid until the reaction is almost complete (stop burning bright orange)
Then, remove the lid and heat for further 5 minutes.
Tap magnesium oxide when you do this
Re weigh crucible
Calculate empirical formula

25
Q

How to work out molecular formula

A

1) Work our molecular mass of your calculated empirical formula
2) Divide your Mr by the one given in the question
3) Multiply your empirical formula by the answer given in division to get molecular formula.

26
Q

How to calculate percentage yield?

A

% yield = experimented yield/theoretical yield x100

27
Q

How to calculate water of crystallisation

A

1) Calculate mass of water lost
2) Calculate moles of anhydrous salt
3) Use mass of water lost to calculate moles of water
4) Divide moles by smallest mole number
5) Use this as big numbers in front

28
Q

How to improve atom economy?

A
  • Find an alternative reaction

- Find a use for waste products

29
Q

How to calculate empirical formula if you’re given percentages?

A

Treat percentages as masses

30
Q

What is the ideal gas equation?

A

PV=nRT

31
Q

What are the assumptions for an ideal gas?

A
  • Random motion
  • Elastic collision
  • Negligible size
  • No intermolecular forces
32
Q

Under what conditions are gases likely to behave most like an idea gas?

A
  • Low pressure

- High temperature

33
Q

Why do gases behave most like an ideal gas at low pressure and high temperature?

A
  • At low pressure, size of particles compared to the volume is negligible
  • At high temperatures, particles move so fast that the chance of intermolecular forces forming is small
34
Q

What are the units for the ideal gas equation?

A

P in Pa
V in m^3
T in K
R in Jmol^-1

35
Q

How to convert from degrees celcius to kelvin?

A

+273

36
Q

Why does the Harber Process have an atom economy of 100%?

A

Because there is only one product, NH3

37
Q

Why is a high atom economy good?

A
  • Reduces production of unwanted products

- Makes process more sustainable by removing waste products
