Calculations Flashcards
Ar
relative atomic mass to 1/12 of C12, taking into account isotopes
Mr
relative formula mass
mole
Ar/ Mr in grams, Avogadro constant
Avogadro constant
1 mol of any substance has the same amount of atoms/ ion/ molecule
number of moles =
mass / Ar or Mr
mass =
number of moles x Ar or Mr
limiting reactant
used up first in a reaction
percentage yield
mass of product compared to theoretical product
percentage yield equation
actual product mass / maximum theoretical product mass x 100
reversible reaction, reactants not pure, product lost, alternative reaction
factors affecting yield
sustainable production
more yield, more efficient, less waste, harmful waste treated before released
atom economy
measure of how many atoms of reactants end up in desired product
atom economy equation
Mr of desired product / Mr sum of reactants
