Chapter 3 Flashcards
Avogadros number
6.022 x 10^23
Moles to atoms
Multiple moles by avogadros number
If it is something like O2 multiply by 2 molecules also
Atoms to moles
Divide by avogadros number
If it is something like N2, divide by 2 molecules also
Steps for finding average atomic mass
Change percentages to decimals first then multiple each percentage by each amu then add both together
Grams to atoms
Grams in question divided by elements molar mass (from periodic table), multiplied by avogadros number
(Three parts, grams to moles to atoms)
If it is something like S8 then also multiply by 8 (need to also multiply 8 by molar mass on P table)
Atoms to grams
Atoms divided by avogadros number multiplied by molecular mass from periodic table
(Atoms to moles to grams)
If something like P4 is involved, atoms divided by avogadro divided by 4 multiplied by molecular massx4
Grams to moles
Grams divided by molar mass from periodic table
30g / 12g of Carbon is 2.5 moles of carbon
Moles to grams
Moles multiplied by molecular mass from periodic table
Find molecular mass of a compound
Multiply each molecular mass from periodic table by number of moles present then add altogether
Like C6H12O6 is 180.156 g/mol (try this on paper right now)
Formula for precent composition
Number of moles x molar mass of element divided by total mass in compound all times 100%
Try H3PO4…
Four steps to determine empirical formula
- Convert percentages to moles by dividing each by molecular mass
- Divide each answer by smallest answer (these will be subscripts)
- Convert to an integer by trial and error (multiply by whole numbers starting with 2 until you get closest to a whole number)
- Once whole number is found, multiply other subscripts by the same number (whatever whole number you get goes on that element)
Find amounts of products and reactants
- Write balanced equation if not given
- Convert known substance to moles (divide number given by molar mass of reactant)
- Multiply by how much more product was created (use coefficients in equation)
- Convert moles to sought quantity (usually grams, so use molar mass of product referred to)
What is the limiting Reagant?
The reactant that produces the fewer moles of product
Reaction yield formula
Actual yield divided by theoretical yield all multiplied by 100
Three steps to find the limiting regeant
- Concert reactants to moles
- Divide by coefficients
- Reactant with small number is limiting
