Quantative chemistery Flashcards
Avagadro s constant
6.023*10 to the power of 23 ( number one mole))
Moles=
Formula
Mass/ RAM
Mass=
Formula regarding moles
Moles* RAM
Why do scientist use percentage yield and atom economy?
To see how efficient the reaction is
Yield
Amount of product produced
It is referring to the mass
Percentage yield
Shows a percentage of the yield made instead of the expected yield
Percentage yield=
(Actual yield/ expected yield) * 100
What are other words that mean expected
Theoretical, predicted
Maximum mass is the same as…
Expected yield
What can cause yield not to become a 100%
The reactants may form an unexpected product
Some product may be lost when the reaction is occurring
the reaction might be reversible
the reaction is incomplete
Percentage yield is also a good way…
To spot mistakes
When working with moles always round to…
3 significant figures
Atom economy
Amount of reactants turned into the useful products
Atom economy is also important to see…
the effects on the atmosphere on the reaction
Atom economy=
Formula
(Relative formula mass of desired product/ relative formula mass of all reactants)* 100
