What’s avagardos number (the number of particles in one mole)?
6.02x10^23
How do you work out number of moles when given amount of particles?
Moles = Number of particles you have / number of particles in one mole (6.02x10^23)
Be careful that if working out how many atoms in a molecule, you have to multiply answer by the amount of atoms in the molecule
Formula for moles involving mass?
Moles = mass / RFM
Formula for moles involving gases?
Moles = volume in dm^3 / 24 dm^3
What’s the ideal gas equation?
pV = nRT
p = pressure in pascals V = volume in m^3 (1cm^3 = 1 x 10^-6 m^3, and 1dm^3 = 1 x 10^-3 m^3) n = number of moles T= temperature in Kelvin
How do you work out the empirical formula and then the molecular formula?
You will be given the elements in compound and there masses or percentages
Divide each percent or mass by the elements RFM
Divide everything by smallest value to get everything into whole number ratio
Then to find molecular you will given the total RFM of compound and then see how much you have to multiply the empirical to reach the RFM this will give you the molecular formula
How do you write ionic equations?
Write the full equation down
Split everything that’s (aq) into into it’s ions
Cross out any ions that appear on both sides
How do you work out moles of water in a water of crystallisation question?
Find number of moles lost by doing:
Find mass of water by doing mass of Hydrated salt - mass of anhydrous salt, and dividing that value by RFM of water
Find moles of ANHYDROUS salt, using moles = mass/rfm
Find how ratio when there is one mole of anhydrous salt how many there will be of water
Acid, base, alkali?
Release H+ ions in solution, proton donor
Proton acceptor
Base and releases OH- ions in solution
How do you work out number of moles when given concentration?
Moles = concentration (mol dm^-3) x volume (dm^3)5
What’s the percentage yield?
(Actual yield (experimental) / theoretical yield)) x 100
Theoretical yield is what you get from working it out from the equation
Atom economy?
RFM of desired product / RFM of all products
What is an ionic bond?
The electrostatic attraction between 2 oppositely charged ions
Covalent bond definition?
Strong electrostatic attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the nuclei of the bonded atoms
What do you do if there is a double bond when predicting the shape of a molecule?
Treat them the same as single bonds
What does 2 electron pairs around the central atom produce?
Linear molecule
180 degrees
What does 3 bonded pairs around the central atom produce?
Trigonal planar
120 degrees
4 bonded pairs around central atom?
Tetraherdral (Tripod shaped, use lined wedge and filled in wedge)
109.5 degrees
3 bonded pairs and one lone pair around central atom?
Lone pair at the top, everything bellow same structure as tetrahedral
107 degree bond angle
2 bonded pairs and 2 lone pairs around central atom?
nonlinear shape (V shaped) 104.5 degrees
5 bonded pairs around central atom?
Trigonal bipryamidal
Around central atom there is a straight line going through, and perpindicular to this there is a triangle of atoms (use both wedges in this)
Producing 90 degree angles and 120 degree angles)
6 Bonded pairs around central atom?
Octahedral (Use 2 lined wedge, and 2 filled in wedge)
All angles 90 degrees
However there are 2 exceptions in the rule that ionisation energy increases along a period between group 2 to 3 and group 5 to 6 explain why?
The outer electrons in group 3 elements is a p orbital, rather than an S orbital, which means it’s further away from the nucleus, and has additional shielding from s orbital, theses factors overide the increased nuclear charge
In the group 5 elements, the electron is being removed from a singly-occupied orbital, in group 6 being removed from orbital containing 2 electrons. The repulsion means between 2 electrons in a orbital makes it easy to remove from shared orbitals
How do you test for halogens?
Add silver nitrate solution and then dilute ammonia and then conc ammonia
Chloride ions form AgCl which is a white precipitate, dissolves in dilute NH3
Bromide ions form AgBr which is a cream preicpitate, dissolves only in conc NH3
Iodide ions form AgI which is a yellow precipitate, and doesn’t dissolve in conc NH3
