Chemistry C4 Flashcards
Avagadro constant
The number of atoms, molecules or irons in a mole of any substance (i.e, 6.02x10^-23
Burette
A long glass tube with a tap at one end and markings to show volumes of liquid; used to add precisely known volumes of liquid to a solution in a conical flask below it.
Concentration
The amount of a substance dissolved in a given volume of liquid.
Concordant
When you have two tritiation results that are within 0.1cm^3 of each other. These precise results can then be used to calculate an accurate mean.
End point
The point in a tritiation where the reaction is complete and tritiation should stop.
Limiting reactant
The reactant in a chemical reaction that when used up causes the reaction to stop.
Mole
The amount of a substance in the realtive atomic or formula ,a mass of a substance in grams.
Percentage yeild
The actual mass of product collected in a reaction divided by the maximum mass that could have been formed in theory, multiplied by 100.
Pipette
A glass tube used to measure accurate volumes of liquids.
Relative atomic mass (Ar)
The average mass of atoms of an element compared with carbon-12 (which is given a mass of exactly 12). The average mass must be taken into account the proportions of the naturally occurring isotopes of the element.
Relative formula mass (Mr)
The total of the relative atomic masses, added up in the ratio shown in the chemical formula, of a substance.
Titration
A method for measuring the volumes of two solutions that react together
Yield
The mass of product that a chemical reaction produces.
