16
Q

What is a standard solution

A

a solution of known concentration

17
Q

How are standard solutions made

A

dissolve an exact mass of solute in a solvent and make up the solution to an exact volume

18
Q

What is the equation linking molar concentration and mass concentration

A

mass concentration = molar concentration x Mr

19
Q

what is the molar gas volume

A

volume per mole of gas at a stated temperature and pressure

20
Q

What is RTP approximately valued at

A

20 degrees C and 101kPa (1 atm)

21
Q

What is the volume of 1 mol of gas at RTP
- What is the molar gas volume at RTP

A

24 dm3
- 24 dm3 / mol

22
Q

What are the four assumptions made for the molecules making up an ideal gas

A
  • random motion
  • elastic collisions
  • negligible size
  • no intermolecular forces
23
Q

what is the ideal gas equation

A

pV = nRT

pressure x volume = moles x ideal gas constant x temperature

24
Q

What are the units used in the ideal gas equation

A

pressure - Pa
Volume - m^3
Temperature : Kelvin

25
Q

What is the ideal gas constant

A

8.31 J/ (mol K)

26
Q

How to convert from:

cm^3 to m^3
cm^3 to dm^3
dm^3 to m^3
celsius to kelvin
Pascals to KiloPascals

A

x 10^-6
x 10^-3
x 10^ -3
+ 273
x 10^-3

27
Q

What is the stoichiometry of a reaction

A

the ratio of moles of each substance in a reaction

28
Q

What are two reasons balanced equations are used

A
  • to work out how much reactant is needed to prepare a certain amount of product
  • quantities of products that should be prepared from a certain amount of reactant
29
Q

What is percentage yield (not the equation)

A

the actual yield of a reaction compared to the theoretical yield

30
Q

What is the equation for percentage yield

A

(actual yield / theoretical yield ) x 100

31
Q

What are three reasons as to why the percentage yield may not be 100%

A
  • reaction may not have gone to completion
  • other reactions may have taken place alongside the main reaction
  • purification of the product may have led to loss in some product
32
Q

What is the limiting reagent

A

the reactant that is not in excess - all is used up and limits more reaction from happening

33
Q

What is atom economy

A

a measure of how well atoms have been utilised

34
Q

What is the equation for atom economy

A

sum of molar mass of desired products / sum of molar mass of all products x 100

35
Q

Why is a high atom economy desirable

A

less waste and makes the best use of natural resources

36
Q

what factors other than atom economy affect sustainability of a reaction

A
  • availability of resources
  • percentage yield
