Q

How is relative atomic/molecular mass determined from mass spectroscopy

A

Charged particles of different masses are separated and masses are measured. It also measure relative abundance of the masses.

A neutral atom gets charged by losing/gaining an electron.

Charged particles are deflected in electric or magnetic fields. The heaver the mass the smaller the deflection. The greater the charge the greater the deflection.

Particles of different charges and masses are deflected to follow different paths

Q

How does the mass spectrometer work (detail)

A
  • substance is vaporized by heating
  • vapour goes into ionization chamber. high energy electrons from cathode attract to opp anode and collide with vapor and knock off electrons to form ions
  • positive ions are attracted and accelerated by electric field to magnetic field.
  • in the magnetic field they deflect according to mass to charge ratio m/e
  • changing magnetic field strength brings different masses onto detector eg heavy ones defect less need strong field
  • detector collects the species of masses and the collected charges constitute an electric current, which are of different amounts and proportional to abundance of each mass.
  • percebtage abundance is amplified and a spectrum is drawn against mass

Q

How does the mass spectrometer work (summary)

A

Separates species of different masses by electrical methods

  • vaporization
  • ionization +ve ions
  • +ions attracted and accelerated by electric field
  • accelerated ions deflected by magnetic field
  • focused on detector and then a chart recorder draws spectrum

Q

Why is it better to use the relative mass rather than mass number?

A

They yield a more accurate rather than approximate result of Ar

Q

How is mass spectroscopy used to find relative molecular mass

A
  • Compound is ionised to lose 1e and form +ve ion
  • This ion had mass equal to Mr of the compound ie called molecular ion (highest peak)
  • Other ions of lower mass/charge ratios are fragment ions

Q

Stoichiometry describes the relationship between

A

Amount of reactants and products during a chemical reaction and how they combine in fixed ratios

19
Q

Gas volume is determined by _

A

No of particles at temperature and pressure.

20
Q

What is Avogadro law regarding gas volume

A

Equal no of particles of all gases under same conditions occupy same volume irrespective of molecule size

21
Q

1litre=

A

1dm3=1000cm3

22
Q

What is the molar volume

A

24dm3

23
Q

Formula of moles regarding volume

A

n=V/Mv (24)

24
Q

How many dm3 in a m3

A

1000

25
Q

How many cm3 in a dm3

A

1000

26
Q

How are liquid amounts expressed

A

Concentration in g/dm3 or mol/dm3

27
Q

What is a solution

A

Homogeneous (uniform) mixture of 2 or more substances. Solute dissolved in solvent

28
Q

What is a solution

A

Homogeneous (uniform) mixture of 2 or more substances. Solute dissolved in solvent

29
Q

What is Formula for concentration

A

C=n/V

30
Q

What is standard solution

A

Solution of known concentration

31
Q

As a solution is diluted with distilled water what remains the same, explain, and what changes?

Then relate this in form of a equation

A

No of moles remains constant; they spread through a larger volume, and thus concentration decreases

n= CV so C1V2=C2V2 (1 is initial 2 is final)

32
Q

What is molarity and the symbol

A

Concentration expressed in mol per dm3

Ie M

33
Q

What is basic titration

A

Concentration of a solution can be determined by volumetric analysis. This is done by reacting one solution with a standard one and determine the exact volumes that react. This is called standardizing

34
Q

What is back titration and how is it done

A

It is done in reverse as the end point is passed and hard to identify, or one reactant is impure.

A known excess of one reactant is added and the interacted excess is determined by titrating againsts a standard solution. Subtract interacted amount from original to find amount reacted

35
Q

What is theoretical yield

A

Maximum yield in grams/moles of a product obtained, assuming 100% of the reactants are converted to products

36
Q

What is a limiting reagent

A

Reactant that determines the quantity of the product

so other would be in excess if not equal to make this one limiting

37
Q

Formula for % yield

A

Experimental(actual)/theoretical ×100

38
Q

Which factors make the actual yield different from theoretical?

A

Amount lost during preparation
Impurities in reactant
Incomplete reaction

39

A

Mass of pure substance/ mass of impure substance ×100

40
Q

What is empirical formula of a compound

A

Simplest formula which gives the smallest whole number ratio of atoms in one molecule or formula units of a compound

41
Q

What is molecular formula

A

Formula who’ve gives the actual number and kind of atoms in one molecule or formula unit of a compound

42
Q

What is formula for molecular formula

A

Molecular formula = q × empirical formula

q= relative molecular mass (Mr) /relative empirical formula mass

Which is number of empirical formula units (no of multiples of empirical formula)

43
Q

What is the general formula for combustion/explosion of hydrocarbons?

A

CxHy + x + y/4 O2 —> XCO2 + y/2 H2O

V of CO2 made= x × V of hydrocarbon used
V of O2 used= x + y/4 × V of hydrocarbon used
