Chapter 12 Flashcards
Chemists use balanced chemical equations as a basis to calculate what?
how much reactant is needed or how much product will be formed in a reaction
what happens when you know the quantity of one substance in a reaction?
you can calculate any other amount of a substance consumed or created in the reaction
A balanced chemical equation can be interpreted in terms of what different quantities?
numbers of atoms, molecules or moles; mass; and
volume
what is not changed in a chemical reaction?
Both the number and type of atoms
Avogadro’s number of representative particles is equal to what?
one mole of a substance
The coefficients of a balanced chemical equation indicate what?
the relative number of moles of reactants and products in a chemical equation
A balanced equation obeys the law of
conservation of mass
Using the mole relationship you can what?
relate the mass to the number of atoms in the chemical equation
1 mole of any gas at STP occupies
22.4 L
Interpret the equation in terms of numbers of representative particles
What do the Coefficients represent?
The number of representative particles and moles
Mole Ratio
A mole ratio is a conversion factor derived from the coefficients of a balanced chemical equation interpreted in terms of moles.
mole ratios are used to convert
between
a given number of moles of a reactant or product to
moles of a different product or reactant.
When do you use a Mole To Mole Ratio?
You use a mole to mole ratio when you are trying to
change your compounds
Where do you find the numbers for the mole to mole
ratio?
In Your Balanced Equation
Mass to Mass Calculations
Substances are usually determined by mass in
grams
• From the mass of a reactant or product the
mass of any other reactant or product in a given
chemical equation can be calculated
• The mole interpretation of the equation is the
basis of this conversion
