atom economy = Mr of desired product / total Mr of all products x 100

30
Q

concentration equation

A

moles (mol) = concentration (moldm-3) x volume (cm3) / 1000

31
Q

percentage uncertainty equation

A

% uncertainty = uncertainty / measurement x 100

32
Q

preparing a standard solution

A

1 - weigh the solid
2 - dissolve in a small amount of distilled water
3 - transfer the solution to a volumetric flask, rinse the beaker and add to the flask
4 - fill the flask with distilled water to the graduation mark
5 - invert the flask several times

33
Q

gas equation at RTP

A

moles (mol) = volume, v / molar gas volume, Vm
Vm = 24 in dm3 or 24000 in cm3

34

A

gain of electrons/decrease in oxidation state

41
Q

42
Q

reducing agent

A

a reagent that reduces (adds electrons to) another species, and is oxidised itself

43
Q

A

a reaction in which one element is both oxidised and reduced

44
