Moles, Concentrations, Displacement Flashcards
What is the mole?
6x10^23 units of something
How to calculate the amount is miles of a substance:
mol
Mass (g) / Molar mass (g/mol)
How to calculate the concentration in (mol/dm^3)
Amount of substance (mol) / volume (dm^3)
How to calculate concentration in (g/dm^3)
Mass (g) / volume (dm^3)
To calculate the amount of gas (mol)
Volume (dm^3) / 24
Or
Volume (cm^3) / 24000
Why may it not be impossible to obtain a calculated amount?
- The reaction may not go to completion because it is reversible.
- Some of the product may be lost when separated from the reaction mixture.
- Some of the product may react differently to the reaction.
To calculate percentage yield:
Actual mass of product / max theoretical mass of product x 100
What is a displacement reaction?
When a more reactive element replaces or pushes out a less reactive element from a compound.
What is oxidation?
Loss of electrons
What is reduction
Gain of electrons
How to calculate atom economy
Relative formula mass of desired product /
Relative formula mass of reactant
