24
Q

What is the Molar Gas volumes Vm?

A

Is the volume occupied by 1 mole of ANY gas at RTP.

25
Q

What is the value of Vm?

A

24 dm^3

26
Q

What are the values for RTP?

A

20’ and 101 Kpa

27
Q

What is the equation for calculating Moles of Gas?

A

Moles of Gas= Volume of gas (dm3)/ Molar Volume (dm3)

28
Q

How many cm3 is in 1 litre?

A

1000 cm3= 1 litre

29
Q

How many particles are in 1 moles of any gas?

A

6.02X10^23 particles

30
Q

How does temperature effect the volume of gas occupied?

A

The hotter the gas, the faster the particles are moving because of increased kinetic energy and so the more volume they will occupy.

31
Q

How does pressure effect the volume of gas occupied?

A

The higher the pressure, the more compressed the gas will be and the less volume it will occupy

32
Q

How does amount of gas effect the volume of gas occupied?

A

The more gas particles there are, the more voulme they will occupy.

33
Q

What four features do molecules in an ideal gas equation have?

A
  1. Random motion
  2. Elastic collision
  3. Negligible size
  4. No intermolecular forces
34
Q

What is the equation for the ideal gas equation?

A

pV=nRT

35
Q

What is the unit for the p in pV=nRT?

A

Pa

36
Q

What is the unit for the V in pV=nRT?

A

m^3 (1m3= 10^3 dm3= 10^6 cm3)

37
Q

What is the unit for the N in pV=nRT?

A

Number of moles

38
Q

What is the unit for the R in pV=nRT?

A

Gas constant = 8.314 jmol-1k-1

39
Q

What is the unit for the T in pV=nRT?

A

In Kelvin, (C’ + 273)

40
Q

What are the two assumptions the Real Gas Equation relies on? When are these true?

A
  1. Forces between gas particles are negligible
  2. Gas particles have negligible size compared to the size of their container

These are true at low pressures and high temperatures.

41
Q

What is the non-ideal gas equation?

A

(P+ N^2a/V^2) (V-b) = nRT

42
Q

Define stoichiometry

A

The ratio of the amount, in moles, of each substance in a chemical reaction

43
Q

What are the three steps to calculating quantities from amount and equations?

A
  1. Find the number of moles for one substance
  2. Use the mole ratio from the stoichometry to find out how many moles the other substance will produce.
  3. From this number calculate the mass/volume/ concentration of the desired substance.
44
Q

How can you identify what metal is in a unknown compound?

A

By how much hydrogen gas it produces in excess acid

45
Q

Define the term Percentage Yield

A

The actual mass of product obtained expressed as a percentage

46
Q

What is the equation for calculating Percentage Yield?

A

(Actual yield of product/ Theoretical Yield of Product) X100

47
Q

What 3 reasons are there for why percentage yield is usually less than 100%?

A
  1. Incomplete reaction
  2. Side reactions occurring
  3. Loss of product during separation/ purification stage.
48
Q

Define Atom Economy

A

A measure of the amount of starting reactants that become useful products

49
Q

What is the equation for calculating Atom economy?

A

(Sum of molar masses of desired product / Sum of molar masses of all products) X100

50
Q

What are 5 other factors they take into account to judge the cost effectiveness and sustainability of the reaction/ process?

A
  1. How “green” the process is
  2. How cheap the raw materials are
  3. How much energy is required for the process itself
  4. The atom economy of the process
  5. How can waste products be delt with
51
Q

What is a limiting reagent?

A

The reactant used up first in a chemical reaction. It limits how much product can be made.

52
Q

What is the excess reagent?

A

The reactant, of which, there is a quantity of left over unused after a chemical reaction.

53
Q

When are excess reagents added sometimes?

A

To speed up reactions

54
Q

Should the excess reagent be cheap/ expensive?

A

Cheap and/or recyclable

55
Q

What is the role of the excess reagent in the product?

A

None, it should be easily isolatable from the products once the reaction is complete.

56
Q

Where is the number of moles of the limiting reagent used?

A

In calculating the theoretical yield of product
