c3 - quantitative chemistry Flashcards
what is conservation of mass
no atoms are lost or made during a chemical reaction
so the mass of the reactants = The mass of the
products
what is in 1 mole?
6.022 × 10^23
equation that links moles mass and Mr
mass = moles x Mr
what is limiting reactant?
In an experiment we usually add excess of a reactant so that
everything fully reacts.
The reactant that will fully get used up is called the limiting reactant!
what is meant by concentration?
Concentration tells us the mass of a solute in a given volume
of solution.
Solute: A chemical that is dissolved in a solvent
In chemistry, water is often used as a solvent
What are the units of concentration?
One unit of concentration is g/dm^3
what is the equation that links mass concentration and volume
mass = concentration x volume
What will happen to the concentration if
INCREASE the mass of
solute
Keep the volume the
SAME
concentration increases
What will happen to the concentration if
Keep the mass of solute
the SAME
INCREASE the volume
the same
concentration decreases
