Chapter 10 and 11 Flashcards
is the SI base unit used to measure the amount of a substance.
Mole
1 mole is the number of atoms in 12 g of pure carbon-12 or 6.02 × 1023 atoms.
Avogadros number
is the mass in grams of one mole of any pure substance.
Molar mass
Convert moles to atoms with
Avagadros number
can be found by dividing the mass of the element by the mass of the compound and multiplying by 100.`
Percent by mass
The percent by mass of each element in a compound
Percent composition
is the smallest whole-number mole ratio of the elements.
Empirical formula
specifies the actual number of atoms of each element in one molecule or formula unit of the substance.
Molecular Formula
is the study of quantitative relationships between the amounts of reactants used and the amounts of products formed by a chemical reaction.
Stoichiometry
Stoichiometry is based on
The law of conservation of matter
is a ratio between the numbers of moles of any two substances in a balanced equation.
Mole ratio
limits the extent of the reaction and, thereby, determines the amount of product formed.
Limiting reactant
are all the leftover unused reactants.
Excess Reactant
is the maximum amount of product that can be produced from a given amount of reactant.
Theoretical yield
is the amount of product actually produced when the chemical reaction is carried out in an experiment.
Actual Yield
