c5.1 Flashcards
Theoretical yield definition
maximum possible mass of a product that can be made in a chemical reaction
Theoretical yield formula
mass of limiting reactant/ sum of Mr of limiting reactant x sum of Mr of products
percentage yield
actual mass of product / maximum theoretical mass of product produced x 100
factors effecting percentage yield
- reversible
- unwanted product
- lost in handling
- may be impure
- desired product may be lost
atom economy definition
measure of how many atoms are in the reactants from a desired product
atom economy formula
sum of Mr of desired product / sum of Mr of all products. x 100
choosing a reaction pathway factors
- yield of product
- atom economy of reaction
- usefulness of by products
- rate of reaction
- equilibrium position
- cost of raw materials
concentration definition
number of particles dissolved in a given volume
concentration formula
amount of substance / volume of solution
g/dm3 —> mol/dm3
divide by Mr
titration
technique that uses a neutralisation reaction to find the concentration of an acid or alkali
why can’t universal indicator be used for titrations
- mixture of indicators
- colours would be close to each other
titre
amount of acid / alkali added by burette
phenolphthalein
pink —> alkali
colourless —> acid
Methyl Orange
Orange —> alkali
Red —> acid
