Chemistry Calcs Flashcards
Mr meaning
Relative formula mass
Ar meaning
Relative atomic mass
How do you calculate relative formula mass?
Periodic table mass number timsed by little number
Eg H= 1 O = 16
H20 = 2+16=18
How do you calculate RAM? (Ar)
Multiply percentage abundance by isotope mass number
Divided by 100
What is an isotope?
Different forms of the same element with the same amount of protons but different neutrons
Mass, moles and RAM equation
Mass = moles x RAM/RFM
What is avogadros number and what’s it used for?
6.0221x10 (power of 23)
- the amount of molecules in a mole
Definition of moles
A mole is the number of atoms in exactly 12g of carbon 12 (mol)
Mass of one mole of a substance is equal to
The relative atomic mass of formula mass
What is ionic bonding?
The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions
1:2 ratio meaning
There is twice as much of the second compound/element to make up the other. =multiply by 2
What is a limiting reactant?
-first reactant to be fully used up
- brings reaction to an end
How can you ensure all the reactant has reacted in the reaction after it has stopped?
Add more excess reactant to see if the reaction continues
Percentage yield equation
Actual yield/g divided by theoretical yield /g multiplied by 100
Why is the theoretical yield bigger than the actual
If it’s a reversible reaction, loss of products (eg gasses)
