C3: Quantitative Chemistry (triple) Flashcards
1
Q
What is relative formula mass?
A
The relative atomic masses of all the atoms in the molecular formula added together.
2
Q
What is a mole?
A
The amount of a element or compound that has the same mass (g) as the relative atomic mass value of an individual atom or molecule.
3
Q
Number of moles=
A
Mass in grams / relative atomic mass
concentration * volume
4
Q
Concentration=
A
Mass of solute / volume of solvent
number of moles of solute / volume of solvent
5
Q
atom economy=
A
(relative formula mass of desired product / relative formula mass of all reactants) * 100
6
Q
Percentage yield=
A
(mass of produce actually made / maximum theoretical mass of product) * 100
7
Q
What 3 reasons mean that yield are always less than 100%?
A
- not all reactants react to make products
- there may be side reactions
- you lose some product when you separate it form the reaction mixture
