C3 quantitive chemistry Flashcards
what is the law of conservation of mass
no atoms are created or destroyed during a chemical reaction (mass of products = mass of reactants)
what is relative formula mass
the combined atomic mass in an equation
does mass change when the product or reactant is a gas
yes
what is the equation linking mr, mass and moles
mass= mr*moles
what is Avogadro’s constant
the number of atoms in any given mole is 6.02*10^23
how do you use moles to balance equations
a. convert the masses in grams to amounts in moles
b. convert the numbers of moles to simple whole number ratios then you know how many moles you have of one element/compound compared to another
what is a limiting reactant
the reactant that is used up
how do you work out the percentage yield
amount of product produces/maximum amount of product possible * 100
what is the equation for moles
moles = volume * concentration
volume of gas at room temperature equals what?
moles * 24
