chem quiz 3 Flashcards
how do you find the empirical formula of a combustiongiven grams of a sample and grams of a product, when only given the elements?
set up an equation AxByCz + CO2 + H2O
What is wrong with C3H8(g) +O2(g) -> CO2(g) + H2O
violated conservation of mass, need to balance it
what is the Law of conservation of mass
mass is neither created nor destroyed
Know how to balance equations
.
what do the coefficients tell us in stoichiometry
the ratio of compounds needed to produce also moles
How do you figure out how much hydrogen you need and how much ammonia you can make given moles of nitrogen
1.8molN2 x 3mol H/1mol N2 = 5.4 mol H
1.8molN2x 2NH3/ 1molN2 = 3.6 mol NH3
you use the ratios that you know from the formula of NH3 and just multiply given mols by the moles of each substance in the ratio
how do you figure out how much CO2 is produced in g given grams of a polyatomic
set up a balanced combustion reaction
use that to determine ratios
multiply given grams of poly by 1 mol of poly/molar mass poly by ratio of C2/poly by mol mass CO2/ 1 mol CO2
what is theoretical yield
product
% yield formula
actual yield/ theoretical yield x 100%
what is actual yield
how much you actually get
what is theoretical yield
expected to make based on limited reactant
how do you determine theoretical yield given grams of each reactant
multiply grams of first element in equation by mol of 1st element/molarmass by mol product/mol 1st element (all should be done in ratios of balanced equation)
how to figure out actual yield given known percent yield
divide given percent by 100 and multiply it by theoretical yield
what is a solvent
the thing that does the dissolving
what is solute
the thing being dissolved
