C3: QUANTATIVE CHEMISTRY Flashcards
Moles equation
moles (mols) = mass (g) / RFM (n = m/Mr)
Concentration equation
conc. (g/dm^3) = mass (g) / volume (dm^3) (c = m/v)
How do you convert mol/dm^3 to g/dm^3?
use mass = moles x RFM
How do you convert from cm^3 to dm^3?
÷ 1000
Volume of a gas
Volume of a gas (dm^3) = (mass of gas (g) / RFM of gas) x24 (v = (m/Mr)x24)
% yield
% yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100
What is Avogadro’s constant?
6.02 x 10^23
How do you calculate the number of particles in a substance?
no. of particles = moles x Avogadro’s constant
Atom economy
atom economy = (RFM of wanted products / RFM of total reactants) x 100
Why is it better to use a reaction with a high atom economy?
-more sustainable
-less waste
-higher % of useful product
