Conversions Quiz Flashcards
Stoichiometry
The mathmatics of the balanced equation
Calculations of quantaties of materials consumed and produced in chemical reactions
Composition Stoichiometry
Mass relationships of elements in compound
Reaction Stoichiometry
Mass relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction
Mole to Mole Calculations
The coefficients in the balanced equation represent the smallest whole number mole ratio between reactants and products
Mole Ratio
A balanced equation’s coefficients telling us the ratio between reactants and products
Steps to Mole Ratio
- Start with the given value and make sure equation is balanced
- Immedietly convert to moles
- Convert moles of given to moles of unknown
- End with unknown moles or convert to unit of unknown
Steps to Mass Conversion
- Convert grams to moles using molar mass of known value
- Convert moles of known to moles of unknown using molar ratio
- Convert unknown moles to grams using molar mass of unknown
Gas Conversions
At STP all gases will have a volume of 22.4L
The gas ratio is equivalent to the molar ratio
Important
Do not reduce conversions
Never use conversion factors for sig figs
Double molar mass for diatomics but not in volume
Every equality makes two conversion factors
Other Conversions to Remember
Avagadro’s number 1 mole=6.02x10^23 representative particles
Molar mass xg=1 mole
Molar volume 22.4L=1 mole
Ratio of Volumes
Only for gases
Conserved
Total amount in reactants is equal to the total amount in products
Conserved Quantaties
Mass
Atoms of an element
Not Conserved Quantaties
Molecules
Moles
Volume
