Chemical Reactions And Related Calculations Flashcards
What is relative formula mass/Mr
The relative atomic masses of the atoms in the compounds added together
How do you work out the relative atomic mass/Ar
Look at the mass number
What are moles of a substance
The relative formula mass of a substance in grams is one mole of the substance
E.g iron has Ar of 56, so one mole of iron = 56g
What is the formula for moles
Moles= mass in grams
—————-
Mr/Ar
Formula for percentage mass of an element in a compound
Ar x number of atoms (of element)
————————————————
Mr of whole compound
How to calculate masses in reactions
- write out the balanced equation
- work out the Mr - just for the bits you need
- divide to get one, multiply to get all
What is a reversible reaction
Where he products of the reaction can produce the original reactants
