C4-Quantitive Chemistry Flashcards
What is the conservation of mass
The law of conservation of mass states that no atoms are lost or made during a chemical reaction so the mass of the products equals the mass of the reactants.
What is the limiting reactant
The reactant that is completely used up since it limits the amount of products formed
What is a mole
The mole is the unit for amount of substance. The symbol for the unit mole is mol.
What is a relative formula mass
The sum of the relative atomic masses of the atoms in the numbers shown in the formula.
What is the percentage yield
The percentage ratio of the actual yield of product from a reaction compared with the theoretical yield.
What is concentration
The amount of substance in a certain volume of solution
What is the actual yoeld
Amount of product actually produced by a feaction
What is atom economy
The measure of the amount of starting materials that end up as useful products
What is the theoretical yield
The maximum amount of product that could be produced from the given reactants assuming a complete reaction takes place
How to get the relative formula mass
Its mass number added to another
How to calculate the % mass of an element in a compound
Relative atomic mass x number of atoms of that element/relative formula mass times 100
Example to find the % mass of an element in a compound. Na2CO3.Finding sodium in it
Ar of sodium=23 Ar of carbon=12. Ar of oxygen=16
Relative formula mass=(2x23)+12+(3x16)=106
23x2/106 x100=43%
A mixture contains 20% iron irons by mass.What mass of iron chloride (Fecl2) would you need to provide the iron ions in 50g of the mixture? Example
Ar of Fe=56 Ar of cl=35.5
Mixutre of ion contains=10g of iron
56/56(2x35.5) x100=44.09%
10/44.09/100=23 g

What is titration
a method for measuring the volumes of two solutions that react together
What is the end point
the point in a titration where the reaction is complete and titration should stop
What is burette
a long glass tube with a tap at one end and markings to show volumes of liquid; used to add precisely known volumes of liquids to a solution in a conical flask below it
What is the concordant
when you have two titration results that are within 0.1cm3 of each other. These precise results can then be used to
calculate an accurate mean
What is a bulb pipette
a glass tube used to measure accurate volumes of liquids
What is uncertainty
Range of measurements each side of the mean
How to calculate uncertainty
Calculate mean and then calculate range and the difference is the uncertainty.Make sure before you always add a +/-
What is the mass of 1 mole equal to
The mass of 1 mole of a substance is equal to its relative formula mass or atomic mass in grams
What does a balanced equation show
Shows reacting moles of each substance(as the simplest whole number ratio)
How to calculate the maxiumum mass of a substance
Step 1. note what you know and what to calculate - you can ignore the other substances
Ignore the big numbers for the moment - we will use them later
Step 2. Calculate the moles of the substance that you know the mass of
Step 3. Use the ratio of moles from the balanced equation to work out the number of moles of the substance with unknown mass ratio of moles is 2: 2
So there will be 0.675 moles of MgO as well
Rearrange and calculate the answer
We can only work out the limting reactant if we know
-Number of moles that react in a experiment
-Balanced formula equation
How to measure concentration
Measured in g/dm^3 or mol/dm^3
What does 1dm3 equals

How to calculate mass
Concentration x volume
Calculation to calculate moles
Concentration x volume
In a chemical reaction why do we not always obtain the mass of the product calculated
Gases from the air may react with the chemicals in the beaker, increasing the mass.
Gaseous products may escape from the beaker into the air, decreasing the mass.
What is the yield
The amount of product obtained in a chemical reaction
How to calculate percentage yield
Mass of product actually made/max theoretical mass of product x100
Example question-Zinc reacts with copper sulfate to produce 30g of copper.The theoretical yield of copper is 35g.Calculate the percentage yield
Percentage yield=30/35 x100
85.7%

Contributes to sustainable development
Saves costs

What volume does one mole of any gas occupy at room temperature and pressure?
24dm^3 or 24000 cm3
How do we know usually if there is a gas
If the mass seems to change
Explanation of when the mass increases
If the mass increases its probably because one of the reactants is a gas that is found in air and all the products are solid liquids or aqueous.
when a mass increases what happens
Before the reaction the gas is floating around in the air.Its there but its not contained in the reaction vessel,so you cant account for its mass
When the gas reacts to form part of the product it becomes contained inside the reaction vessel so the total mass of the stuff increases
Explanation of when the mass decreases
Due to one of the products being a gas and the reactants being solid liquids or aqueous
When a mass decreases what happend
Before the reaction all the reactants are contained in the reaction vessel.
After if the vessel isnt enclosed then the gas can escape from the reaction vessel as irs formed.Its no longer contained in the reaction vessel so you cant account for its mass.The total mass of the stuff inside decreases
How to calculate relative atomic masses
(Isotope 1 times abundance) +(isotope 2 times abundance) divided by 100
What is the relative formula mass equal to
It is numerically equal to the mass of one mole of a substance in grams.
How to calculate mass of a given number of moles
Mass=moles x relative formula mass
What is a standard solution
A standard solution is one of known concentration
How to increase the concentration of a aqueous solution
adding more solute and dissolving it in the same volume of its solution
evaporating off some of the water from the solution so you have the same mass of solute in a smaller volume of solution.
