Chapter 4: Chemical Quantities and Aqueous Reactions Flashcards
What do coefficients tell you?
The amount of moles of the substance
Unit of measurement for molar mass (MM; the bottom number on the periodic table)
Grams
The reactant used up first in a reaction; the reactant with the least number of moles
Limiting reactant
The amount of product that would result if all the limiting reagent reacted
Theoretical yield
The amount of product actually obtained from a reaction
Actual yield
% yield formula
% yield = (actual yield/theoretical yield) x 100
Homogenous mixture of 2 or more substances regardless of state
Solution
The substance present in smaller amounts in chemical reactions (what is dissolved)
Solute
The substance present in larger amounts (what does the dissolving)
Solvent
Have smaller amounts of solute compared to solvent
Diluted solution
Have larger amounts of solute compared to solvent
Concentration solution
The amount of solute in a given amount of solution
Concentration
Molarity (M) formula
M = (amount of solute [in moles] / amount of solution [in L])
The procedure for preparing a less concentrated solution from a more concentrated solution
Dilution
Dilution formula
M1V1=M2V2
