Moles ✅ Flashcards
What is an isotope
Atoms that have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons, same atomic number, different mass number
Link equation with mass, moles, molar mass
Moles=mass/Mr
What is the empirical formula
Simplest whole number ratio of atoms of the elements in it
11.25g of hydrated cooper sulphate CuSO4.XH2O heated until it loses all of its water, new mass is 7.19g what is value of X
11.25-7.19= 4.06g of H2O
Moles of H2O=4.06/18=0.2255
Moles of CuSO4=7.19/159.6=0.0451
Ratio of CuSO4:H2O
1:5
X=5
What is the water of crystallization practical method
Weigh a crucible with its lit
Add between 1.3-1,5g of hydrated sulphate crystals, reweigh crucible
Place crucible containing hydrated sulphate on to a clay pipe triangle and gently heat for 2 minutes, take lid off periodically and carefully move crystals around with spatula whilst holding crucible with tongs
Allow contents to cool and re weigh crucible, it’s lid and contents
Continue to reheat and reweigh crucible lid and contents until mass is observed, allow to cool before reheating each time
What is the equation of moles of a gas
Volume (dm^3)=24Xmoles
What is the equation for density of a gas
Density (g cm^-3 or g dm^-3)= mass (g)/volume (cm^3 or dm^3)
Find volume of Hydrogen gas at room temp and pressure formed when 0.54g of calcium reacts with HCL
Ca+2HCl=CaCl2+H2
0.54/40.1=0.013467X24=0.323dm^3
A gas has a density of 3.4916g dm^-3, what is the Ar of a gas and what’s its identity
3.4916X24=83.718=Kr
What is the limiting reactant
In chemical reactions it is the substance that is used up first and stops the reaction
What mass of aluminum chloride is formed when 13.5g of aluminum reacts with 42.6g of chlorine
2Al+3Cl2=2AlCl3
Moles of Al=13.5/27=0.5
Moles of Cl2=42.6/71=0.06478
Al=2=0.5
Cl=3=0.6 so limiting reactant
So 0.6478moles of AlCl3/3 X2=0.4
0.4X133.5=53.4g
What is the equation for percentage yield
Percentage Yield = (Actual Yield/Theoretical Yield) x 100
What is the equation for atom economy
Atom economy=mass of wanted product from equation/total mass of products from equation
What is relative formula mass
Compares the mass of a formula unit with the mass of an atom of carbon-12, calculated by adding together the relative atomic masses of the elements in the empirical formula
What is the definition of water crystallisation
when some compounds can form crystals which have water within part of their structure
