C4 - Chemical Calculations Flashcards
Relative atomic mass (Ar)
Number of protons and neutrons
Molecular mass (Mr)
The sum of the Ar in a compound
Limiting reagent
The substance that is used up in a reaction
Percentage yield
The amount of product you actually make as a % of the amount you should theoretically make
Percentage yield formula
Actual yield / theoretical yield
Atom economy
Is the mass of the product you want to make as a % of the mass of all the products you make
Atom economy formula
Mass of useful products / mass of all products
Concentration
Measured in grams per dm³ (g/dm³)
or moles per dm³ (mol/dm³)
Concentration formula
Mass / volume of solution
Moles
Mass / Mr or volume x concentration
Volume
Moles x 24
Avogadro’s constant
It is the number of particles of any
substance that makes up 1 mole
6.02 × 10^23 mol-1
Titrations
Used to measure accurately what volume of acid and alkali react completely
