Chemical Calculations Flashcards
Actual Yield
the mass of a product actually obtained from the reaction
Atom Economy
a measure of the amount of atoms that become useful products, important for economic and sustainability reasons
Avogadro’s Other Rule
one mole of any gas at room temperature at room pressure occupies a volume of 24dm3
Burette
very precise measuring equipment, measures every 0.1cm3, and holds up to 50cm3, used in titration to hold the solution with the known concentration
Byproducts
the products created by the reaction that you don’t want
Desired Products
the products that you want
Dropping Pipette
small, relatively inaccurate pipette
End Point of the Titration
the point where the acid and alkali have reacted completely together
Incomplete Reaction
reaction in which some of the reactants do not react to form the product
Limiting Reactant
the reactant that is used up in a chemical reaction
Methyl Orange
a type of indicator solution that turns acids red and alkalis yellow
Miniscus
curve in the surface of a liquid, measured to the bottom of the curve
Pipette Filler
used to fill volumetric pipettes
Practical Loss
amount of product lost during processes such as pouring and filtering
Side Reaction
reactions that compete with the desired reaction
