Calculations Flashcards
What is the formula to calculate the number of moles?
Moles = Mass ÷ Relative Formula Mass (Mr)
This formula is used in stoichiometry to relate the mass of a substance to the amount in moles.
How do you calculate concentration in chemistry?
Concentration = Moles ÷ Volume
Concentration is often expressed in moles per liter (mol/L).
What is relative atomic mass (Ar)?
The weighted average mass of an atom compared to 1/12th the mass of carbon-12
Relative atomic mass is a dimensionless quantity and is crucial for understanding elemental mass.
How do you calculate percentage yield?
Percentage Yield = (Actual Yield ÷ Theoretical Yield) × 100
This calculation helps assess the efficiency of a chemical reaction.
What is the formula for atom economy?
Atom Economy = (Mass of Desired Product ÷ Total Mass of Reactants) × 100
Atom economy is a measure of the efficiency of a reaction in terms of the amount of useful product produced.
