Chemical calculations Flashcards
Naming Compounds
oxygen + iron –> ???
Iron oxide
non-metal + metal –> metal - non metal
Two element compounds end in…?
ide
Three element compounds containing oxygen end in…?
ate
How to tell number of atoms in a formula?
It’s literally the small numbers lol noob gay
Salt is also named…?
Uhh dude, that would be salt?
That’s what I said, sodium chloride
What are ionic compounds made up in?
Two parts:
positive metal ion
negative non-metal ion
How are all ionic compounds neutral?
Equal numbers of positive and negative charges
What’s the chemical formula for sodium hydroxide?
Uhh idk, NaOH?
How do u find the mass number?
Number at top of element
How do u find the atomic number?
Number at bottom of element
How do u find Mr? (molecule mass)
Add up mass numbers of the atoms (aka elements)
I guess just say
Add mass numbers of the singular element and multiply if more than 1 of em
How do u calculate % of mass of an element?
percentage composition
- Find the Mr of the compound
- Find percentage of certain element by:
Total amount of atoms of element/Total mass of compound x 100
= percentage of element
Balancing equations?
Reactants –> Products
Making sure both sides are balanced e.g.
2Li + 2HCl –> 2LiCl + H2
^^^ get it?
List 3 signs of chemical change
· Effervescing
· Changes in state
· Temperature changes (increases/decreases)
Define endothermic
Absorbs energy (decrease in temp)
Define exothermic
Releases energy (increase in temp)
Calculating Reacting Masses
List steps to find how much product is formed
- Write balanced equation
- Write Ar of each element
- Write Mr of each compound
- Total masses of reactants = total masses of products
- Write in words what this means :(
E.g.
2Mg + O2 –> 2MgO
2x24 + 2x16 –> 2x40
48 + 32 –> 80
48g + 32g = 80g
48 grams of magnesium reacts with 32 grams of oxygen to produce 80 grams of magnesium oxide
^^^ wtf is all this
Remember ‘Calculating Reacting Masses’?
How do u find how much magnesium oxide is produced from 1g of magnesium?
80 divided by 48 = 1.6?
^^^ idk if this right please correct or say below its right
How to find 1g of a reactant?
Divide product by Reactant e.g. 12g C burned in air, 44g of CO2 produced. Mass of C needed to produce 11g of CO2? 1g --> 3.7g (1dp) 11g --> 40.7g
Please just know what it generally means
Calculating Formula by Experiment
Write the steps to find out the formula from the Ar values of the elements
Sulfure Ar = 32 Oxygen Ar = 16
3.2g of sulfur reacts with 6.4g of sulfur oxide. What is formula of the oxide?
- Write element symbols | S and O
- Write the masses | 3.2g and 6.4g - 3.2g = 3.2g
- Write Ar values | 32 and 16
- Divide masses by Ar | 3.2/32 = 0.1 and 3.2/16 = 0.2
- Divide by smallest answer | 0.1/0.1 = 1 and 0.2/0.1 = 2
- Write number of each atom | S and O2
- Combine to give formula | SO2
^^^ yoo what is this shit nah this shit is gay
How do u find percentage yield?
Yield = actual/theoretical x 100
e.g.
204 tonnes of aluminium oxide are expected to produce 108 tonnes of aluminium.
Only 81 tonnes are actually made. Find percentage yield.
81/108 x 100 = 75%
How to find 1g of an element?
Total Mr of product divided by total Mr of starting material
^^^ I’m not remembering any of that
How do u find the number of moles?
Mass (g) ÷ Mr (molecular mass)
